Ah-Doe
Our friends the
Halls brought back a soft, cozy monkey named 'Otto' from New York last summer for Hyrum. Hunter has adopted it as his own. Hyrum never attached himself to a specific stuffed animal (probably because he had, and still has, the good ol' thumb) so this is a new experience for us. Hunter curls up with Otto or 'Ahhh-Doe' as he pronounces it and rubs Otto's left ear to put himself to sleep for all naps and bedtimes-so very cute. We hope Otto has a good long life ahead of him.
Hunter has been saying lots of words the last little bit. Some of the ones he uses regularly are 'truck', 'crucker' (cracker), 'bapple' (apple), 'bear', 'woof' (dog), 'bubble', 'bye-bye', 'no' (of course, why am I not surprised), 'ball', 'toodle' (turtle), 'buck' (book), 'up', and 'duck'. He also says the phrase 'there it is' when he finds something he was looking for. And of course he knows 'Ah-Doe'...I have forgotten how much fun it is when they're first learning to talk and I'm so glad we get to do this all over again with the Bug!

I cannot believe how big he is getting!! He is such a little toddler now :) I love reading all the words he knows!! It must be so fun to see the boys starting to really talk and play together!
He looks sooo cute holding his little monkey :)
Soo cute! I'm so impressed that Hunter is talking, and has so many words! What a smarty :)
Your kids are just so cute! I wish that we were closer so we could actually see them growing up. Maybe someday we will be. I am glad that things are going so great for you.
That is fun that he has found a security pal. What cute pictures. I love to hear about the words that he is learning to speak. What a fun it is to watch them learn and grow!
Holy Cow! Have we been gone that long?? Your little tiny baby boy is talking and walking--so precious. We miss you guys and hope you're loving life!! It sure looks like you are :)
How adorable! I especially loved the picture where Hunter is wrapped up in a blanket holding Otto. Too cute!!!! I always love reading your posts. Jarett and I got a big laugh out of the story about Hyrum and the pant-less woman.
he is getting way too big. It looks like he is loosing all of his chub!!!! I don't want him to start being a toddler... I liked him as a baby.... oh well.
