A note for Hunter.

My little boy,

You are growing up very fast. Faster than I would like you to, a couple of days ago you reached up and touched my face to get my attention pointed to your own nose and said "nose." You can now say 25 words! Among your favorites are: No!, Don't do that!, Meow!, Dada, Heather ( I'm not too happy that you call me by my name instead of mama, but it is still impressive that you can say it with such clarity.) You can also sign, the two signs you know are "more and please" you also knock at every door we come to including doors that are inside the apartment. My favorite thing you do is when you knock on the pantry door, look at me, and sign "more." I have never seen anyone with an appetite like yours!

I love you very much and hope that I can continue to keep up with you. You now run, and you climb stairs not like a baby, but like an adult you just hold on to the railing for support. It is very hard for me not to call you my baby anymore because you really aren't you aren't even my toddler you are my little boy and you are just going to keep getting bigger. I love you thank you for coming into my life.
