Happy Birthday Hunter!

Hunter turned 1 on August 6th. I can't believe that Craig and I have been parents for a whole year now. I think I can say from both of our perspectives...IT HAS BEEN THE BEST YEAR EVER! We love having Hunter in our family. I can't believe that only a year ago we were in the hospital cradling our little burrito amazed at how much hair he had and how much he looked like his daddy! I remember feeling those tiny fingers (oh so tiny!) wrap around my finger and thinking it was impossible to have so much love in your heart for someone you had just met and was so small. So many precious memories scrunched in to one short year. And now here we are suddenly chasing a gigglehead down the hall and reading book after book about "Mo" (that would be Elmo for those of you not fluent in Hunter). He makes us laugh all the time. Right now everything says "rarr!" Everything. Not just lions and bears, but bunnies, kangaroos and even shoes. He's a big fan of yelling "rarr!" He melts our hearts with his "mmmm" kisses and snuggles. Ever since he was tiny he has loved to snuggle and play with your hair when he gets tired. So sweet. On my wedding day I remember looking at Craig and feeling like my heart had maxed out on it's ability to love. Now after watching him as he carefully held our tiny newborn and wrestle and squeal with our busy toddler, I can't believe how much more my love has grown for him not to mention make all that room for the little guy with his daddy's eyes. I can hear them downstairs now laughing and playing, so before I totally start tearing up and sounding too sappy (if it hasn't happened already) I'm going to go give my boys a big smooch!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUNTER! MOMMY AND DADDY LOVE YOU!
