4 months!
Hunter turned 4 months this week! He's doing really well, enjoying his solid foods, and other than sleeping, which is causing Mommy quite a bit of grief, he is doing awesome. He's a great baby, very happy and getting so interactive, it's nice to see him growing and developing and enjoying exploring his world. Today was his 4 month check up, he's weighing in at 16 lbs 14 oz (85%) and 25 1/2 inches (70%).Owen also had his last gymnastics class today and he has done so well, and grown so much this year. His gymnastic skills have increased dramatically, and I am so proud of him every time I watch him.

May 2010
Wow, have we been busy this month! The month started out with Owen and I going to see Curious George Live at the Lyric. Owen loved the show, we had an absolute blast! We also got together several times with the Alvarez Family, including Daniela's baptism and several play dates. We also had a wonderful Mother's Day celebration up in Hershey, PA. Owen has been incredibly fun and enjoying all the outside time he can gather. He can really hit a tee ball very well, and has a pretty good throwing arm. 
Daddy traveled almost the entire month, so it was really tough on Mommy and the boys! Hunter got his first cold, and then also had his first trip to the ER because of Bronchitis. It was really scary. He's growing so fast, and already having some cereal from a spoon. 
Our only difficulty is sleeping. Hunter was sleeping like 10 hours, but now only sleeps about 5 before waking up to eat. He's up most nights 2 times per night, and it's really starting to take its toll on Mommy. But we're working on sleep training him, and trying to be responsive when necessary but get him to sleep a little more soundly at night. We are still swaddling him and that seems to help control his startle reflex, but he also seems to be at the stage now, where he wants his hands accessible to help him soothe himself back to sleep. It's a catch 22, because he does sleep more soundly when he is swaddled. Hopefully this month we'll start seeing longer stretches of sleep again.
We also had Hunter's baptism Sunday, and had such a wonderful afternoon Hunter was just adorable all dressed up, and we were blessed with great family, friends, and excellent (although HOT) weather. It has been an incredible month, once that I will not forget!
