In early June, AJ was traveling for work so Hunter and I flew to Indiana for a few days while he was away. This was Hunter's first trip as an official frequent flier and he did great in his own seat. We had a late flight on the way back so he ended up sleeping almost the entire way. I even got to read a magazine and listen to my iPod for the first time in a really long time. :)
While we were in Indiana, we crammed in quite a few things. We went to the Indianapolis Zoo one afternoon while Mimi was getting their house ready for a showing (if anyone is reading this and happens to be looking for a house on the south side of Indy, let me know! :) ) and Hunter loved it, of course. We even got to spend one night at Aunt Mitty's house while Mimi got the house ready for an open house.
I love this video of him playing piano with Mimi. He looks so proud of himself. :)
Mimi came down at the very end of June and stayed for a week to visit for my birthday. While she was here, AJ's mom, two brothers, and their sons drove down from Connecticut to stay with us as well. We all kept busy and there was a lot of activity to keep Hunter busy and entertained. I was really bad about taking pictures, unfortunately, so I don't have much to post of their visits.
Playing with Mimi at the pool:
After my birthday dinner:
Hunter finished up swimming lessons at the Y last week. He is quite the little fish and loves playing in the pool so I wanted to take advantage of his love for water. He was, in my opinion, the best little "swimmer" in the class and he loved every minute of it. It was a Mommy and Me class so I'll spare you the pictures of the two of us in the water, but here he is before his first class.
This boy continues to crack me up every day with the random things he does/says/picks up from others.
- He tells on himself. He'll tell you exactly where something is that he's put down or what he's done, even if he knows it's something that he shouldn't do.
- He moos or neighs quite loudly and repeatedly from the backseat whenever we pass a cow or horse in the car.
- He knows how to make calls on my phone, so don't be surprised if you receive a random call from me with a two year old on the other end!
- He loves "working out" with Daddy...see below...
- He put on a pair of my heels the other day and started stomping around the bathroom floor saying that he was wearing "tap dancing shoes". (Not sure where he learned that!)
- He also banged his head on my knee one day and said "Ouch. Double ouch". I started laughing and asked him where he learned that and he said that it is what Goofy says. (He still loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse)
Here he is enjoying a cupcake at his friend Owen's 3rd birthday party the other day. He kept it relatively mess-free!
This is a pic that I just think is cute. We're at Chuy's and he's eating a push-up for the first time. He had about 4 licks and was over it.
Finally, he's now 2 1/4 years old so I measured and weighed him the other day. He's about 28 lbs and 35 inches. Such a big little guy!
