Hunter was 10 months old yesterday. I actually took these back when we did the family photos, and never blogged them. He is the silliest thing! His hair is growing, and he has these cute curls in the side. He just cut his first tooth, and that boy will be crawling soon I believe. He works so hard at it. His legs have gotten a lot stronger, and will stand on them now if you hold him up. (his legs used to just be limp, he wouldn't put any weight on them.) I feel like he is starting to bond, which is a really good thing. When he came he was so unattached to being held....and was just even personality to everyone. Now, he hollars when I walk in the room, (that can be pretty annoying, but it is showing him singleing me out) and loves for me to rock him. He is even becoming more fearful of strangers, turns away if someone new tries to hold him, will sometimes even cry. Those may sound like simple things, but he didn't do that before, and his sister doesn't seem to show attachments to anyone. I was talking to a therapist that leads a foster care support group, and he told me that as crazy as it sounds, I WANT them to cry and be upset when they leave us, b/c that means they have formed an attachment. I know Amber could leave tomorrow, and would care less. She stayed in respite care a couple months ago, and would have been just as happy staying there...(if not more b/c they totally spoiled her all weekend) than come to us, or to her mom. That's not healthy...I can't even begin to explain to her to be scared of strangers.
O.K...didn't mean to get off on that, this post is suppose to be about Hunter. Hunter is a big ball of fun. He LOVES to be played with. I can't believe he is the same age Noah was when Leah was born. Man, he seemed like a big boy to me at the time, but wow...that was young to have a newborn sister!
These pics are not the best quality b/c I took them without my flash b/c I had already taken down all my equipment. He had also hurt his face by falling over.
This one is pretty blurry, but it shows him in true action!
He's getting so big. I look at him and realize that Addy is about the same age and can't believe how much time has past already. Sounds like he's getting really strong and ready to crawl. Won't be long now I'm sure. Declan didn't crawl until 10 1/2 months and he didn't have any delays.
ReplyDeleteWow! Hunter is really making leaps and bounds of progress! Just wait.. when he starts crawling... you will REALLY be tired all over again!
