Hunter & Gunner's first birthday party 2-2-14

For Hunter's birthday we decided to do a joint celebration with his friend Gunner (they're a week apart), so we did a football theme, pre-super bowl birthday party at the Frerick's residence.

Happy 1st birthday boys! 

12 months!

I'm a little late to post the 12 month pictures, but I am proud that I remembered to take all monthly pics with Hunter and his teddy bear. I cannot believe he is already a year old! This year has really flown by....it feels like we just moved to Nashville.

~will clap for you & sometimes blow a kiss (still working on this one)
~ has 7 teeth (5 on bottom, 2 on top - one of which is chipped :(
~hates getting dressed and diaper changes right now
~loves the dishwasher, brooms, mop, & vacuum cleaner

Time has really gotten away from me! I can't believe its 2014! The holidays came so fast - Billy was able to get a week off from work so we drove to Texas (Codi and Tess came too). Kyle and Hunter are both so active, so I am exhausted by the end of the day most days. They are playing together more but Kyle still gets jealous of Hunter, so she's pretty rough with him, so he's going to be tough! He absolutely adores her and she can always make him laugh!

Hunter's milestones at 11 months -
~6 teeth (two top, 4 bottom)
~free standing and can walk with walker
~can clap his hands, shake his head "no"
~can use a straw
~still very chatty
