1 Year Old!!!

Hallister turned 1 Year Old! Time went by so quickly. We had fun celebrating with family and friends. He is definitely set for the next year with all his new toys and he got a lot of cute clothes. It was so fun watching him have sugar for the first time. He is still taking steps here and there. He has learned to climb on the futon and enjoys jumping on it. We got him a kitchen for his birthday so he loves to pull dishes out of it and put them all in a bucket. Hopefully this is a sign he will enjoy "clean up" time as he gets older. He weighs in at 22lbs and just got his first molar, making that 9 teeth that he has. He is drinking half formula half whole milk every 4 hours a day, then also has yogurt for breakfast and a jar of baby food for lunch and supper. He still continues to turn heads in the grocery store. Of course he is one good looking kid but there is also just a glow that he has that people notice. He is surrounded by the presence of God and that is what makes him so attractive. We are looking forward to watching him grow, supporting him in his talents, and seeing what God does in him and through him.

Be Very, Very Quiet...Wanger is huntin' wabbits.....

So I am doing my quiet time at the kitchen table Sunday morning and notice that Wriley has been inside but I haven't seen much of Ranger. Jonathan comes in the room and I ask, "Have you seen Ranger?" He replies, "Yeah he has been sitting outside chewing on something for the last hour. It is probably a ball." I said, "I don't think so, he is always with Wriley. I bet it is another rabbit!" So Jonathan goes outside and slowly approaches Ranger. He looks down, shakes his head, and holds up so I can see the fresh rabbit Ranger has caught. "Good boy!" That's rabbit #2!
