Hunter 20 Months

Only 4 months away from being a big brother and 4 months away from being 2! Wow! I am loving this little boy more and more each day. He is so loving and just the best little boy we could ask for! He plays so well with other kids- unless he is pulling hair! When he is around his big cousins he usually has to fight back for toys and stuff since they're bigger and older and I think he thinks he has to do that when he is around Brynlee too! He sure does love playing with them though! He laughs constantly and loves people! I'm so thankful for that! I see some kids who won't go to other people or won't play with other kids and it just makes me so thankful for him and his personality! We took him to get his last set of shots yesterday and thankfully he won't have to get any more until he is 5. Those shots are awful for him and for me! Hunter is in the 90% for height at 34.5 inches and he is in the 88% for weight at 29 pounds. Our doctor was super impressed with his vocabulary and how he can speak so clearly. She said most kids who do talk at this age are very hard to understand but she could make out every word he was saying and she even got to hear him say a sentence. We told her how he knows the numbers to 10 and knows some of his ABC's. I told her I was a little worried about him and his colors because he usually says everything is blue and green but she said he is very advanced and not to worry about colors until he is 3. But anyways we have a healthy smart little boy who we love very much! I have enjoyed December and January very much since I have had a lot of days off with him. It makes me wish I could find a career where I can be a home with him a few days a week every week! I guess having snow days and my summer off will have to do though.

He has gotten his appetite back and I am so thankful! I think he went through a rough period when he was getting in some new teeth but luckily he is back to eating everything we eat. We just made the switch from whole milk to 2% milk as well. I think that his brain development is just fine so no more need for the extra fat in whole milk anymore. Sleep schedule is still great with sleeping from about 8:30-8:00 am and nap time is still great too with one nap from about 1-3:30 most days. We will probably start on his new room in the next month or 2 and make the switch to a twin bed. I can't believe how big my baby is getting!

One of my favorite things he has said lately was when he walked by a candle and said  "happy birthday to you" haha I was so surprised he put the two and two together but I think he remembered from Noah's birthday that we sang that song and blew out candles!

Here are a few of my favorite pictures lately:

It's a BOY!

More blue, green, and camo is on the way for the Yager family! Hunter is getting a baby brother! We had our halfway sonogram last Friday and it was very obvious our little babe is a boy! I saw it on the screen way before our ultra sound tech even told us. Our baby boy looked great and was measuring more accurately with my last period rather than the first sonogram so since they usually go by the period date they are sticking with that! Baby is officially due Sunday June 15- Fathers day! I have a feeling this baby will already be here to celebrate with his daddy but we will see! He was measuring in at about 11 cm and 10 ounces! These next few weeks are going to fly by and we will get to see his sweet face again around 30-32 weeks for another 3-D sonogram!!

True feelings about having a boy: I was a tad disappointed at first because I had been shopping for pink and bows- my fault! However, I am SUPER excited that Hunter and his brother will be so close in age and they will be able to play on the same sports teams and hunt and fish together! What better best friend could we give our little Hunter than a brother! We are thrilled about having another sweet little boy to love! I think I was jealous that Jared will get to do fun things with his boys and momma will be left out but maybe I'll just have to join in on the fun or take a day of shopping by myself when they're older! That doesn't sound so bad :)

I am also happy that we won't have to buy a whole new round of clothes and toys! We are trying to save some money right now so that maybe a bigger house can be in our future... if we were having a girl there is no way I would be saving any money,haha!

We did a sweet gender reveal photo for our friends and family. Lydia Holste is amazing and she sure did capture the moment! Here are a few pictures
