The Wonderful Ramblings...

As most of you know Hunter is the most verbal baby. Yesterday while we were sitting at the Dentist's office he was talking up a storm and I'm pretty sure that he was saying "Baaa Baaa"( which is funny because he doesn't even take a bottle and we never talk about bottles) and "Daaa Daaa".
I got a video of Him talking today and I caught a little of the "Daa Daa" ramblings! =D
WOOHOO, go Hunter go... 7 months 1.5 weeks old

and Playing with Mommy!!

Astounded.



I was just reading another momma's blog and she had an older post talking about her sweet little girl and she posted a song and a youtube video and it really rang some bells for me. It's an old song that I remember from when I was younger. "wonder" by Natalie Merchant
The one lyric that really struck a nerve was this:

"people see me
as a challenge
to your balance
I'm over your heads
how I confound you
and astound you
to know I must be one of the wonders
of God's own creation
and as far as you can see you can offer me no explanation"

It is simply amazing to hear this song so many years after I use to "Jam out" to it with no understanding and now it strikes me on a very different level! It is a level that I am SO proud of! I am so proud to have the Chance to be the momma of a son who people are just astounded by, who they are just in "Awe" of, & that he is achieving so much. Hunter is proving all those pessimistic people he is Just like every other kid and that He is PERFECT just the way he is! God doesn't AND didn't make a mistake when he wove Hunter in my womb, He had a much bigger plan for his life and has blessed me beyond my expectations of what I thought it would be like to be a Momma.

I am so grateful! I sing praises to my creator. Praise God.
Thank you Lord for new understandings and for your PERFECT blessings!!!

Crawling Position!!

Crawling Position (7 months old)

Hunter's newest work ...

His PT showed us how to get him into the crawling position this morning and after a few shots he got it... He stayed like this for 20 SECONDS! woohoo.. He did it about 3 times for us and then got tired... I am SO EXCITED!!

We will continue to work on this and hopefully next visit or so he can show her all on his own.
