Not Ready

Not ready at all for this little guy to turn 1 year old already, not ready at all!   It has been a crazy fast year.   I really need to start planning his birthday party and can't seem to get started.   He's been working on walking.  Yesterday he let go of Adam and walked about 4 or 5 steps to the ottoman, then turned around and walked back to him.   

This is his "oh-oh" face.  It's been his favorite phrase for awhile now.  Everything is "oh-oh."   The little game he plays as he knocks things down or throws them off the couch or over the edge of his hi-chair.

He can't almost be 1..... can he?

Line 'em up

Here's Hunter's truck line-up.  Do you think he has enough trucks?   Tonight they have all  "crashed."

He loves to line them up.  He goes nuts when Aidan tries to touch them.  It is a problem!

I'm constantly picking up trucks and cars or stepping and tripping over them.

He really, really does love his monster trucks!

please hold still and just smile

So we've been going thru this thing with Hunter where he can not seem to hold still or smile normally for the camera... no matter what I try to say or do.

This proved especially difficult (for me) when I tried to get a picture for Christmas. 

Almost like it's impossible for him to look directly at the camera...

or hold still...

or smile normally...

I think the sweater is bothering him...

this is a new face...

 

no, no, head straight please...

 

almost a normal smile...

 

better...

 

now just getting irratated...

close enough...

I give up!
