Wow! Hunter is growing so fast. Everyday is a new accomplishment. Most recently he knows where his eyes, nose, mouth and ears are. He is trying to repeat words and is now saying mama, daddy, papa, ball and shoes all the time!!! He is a total monkey. He climbs on everything! He is a total boy!! Mr. Destructo should be his nickname. We have had some ups and downs lately with sickness. First it was allergies, then bilateral ear infections, then upper respiratory infection, then tonsillitis. But I think for now all is well. Except he is cutting his back teeth now! Watch out mom's those are the worst!
So we have a lot of friends who are going thru trials and tribulations right now that really have made me stop and cherish every second of time I have with him. One family has lost a son, one has had a miscarriage, one a child who spent some time in the NICU, one who just had 2 surgeries in the past month, one who can't seem to concieve a child of their own, and one who has a child 10 months older than mine who has cancer. These things are so scary to think about. They make me appreciate my life more. I am blessed and sometimes I think I forget that. The other night laying on the couch Hunter was asleep in my arms. I kissed his head, held him tight and cried. I thanked God that I have him and prayed that he will always know how blessed he is and that I will always remember how blessed I am. I held him and watched him as he slept and I whispered in his ear how much I loved him, how hard we had to fight to get him and how thankful we were to have a healthy son. I told him about all of the dreams and goals I have for his future. And how I would always support and love him thru whatever road life takes us down.
Well I have rambled enough. I just felt like I needed to spill the guts for a while. Thanks to everyone who is a part of our lives. We love you all and are blessed to have such wonderful family and friends!
