Dear Hunter | 18 months

Dear Hunter,

This month ended with a not so fun viral illness that has kept you out of daycare almost a week and feeling pretty crummy.  You have a great attitude about it until midnight - 4 am when you are awake a lot, sometimes happy, sometimes crying, and sometimes just need extra cuddles.  This month you became very attached to a miniture baby panda stuffed animal you have loving nicknamed "Baby".  You walk around hugging him, holding him, kissing him, and feeding him puffs.  It's pretty much the cutest toddler thing ever.

Until this past week, we were having a wonderful Fall!  I was able to leave work for a few hours at the beginning of the month and we went with your daycare friends to a local pumpkin patch.  You didn't really enjoy the hayride (screamed the whole time) but you loved jumping up and down in a bouncey house with some fellow toddlers. 

Daddy was home lots of weekends working hard on installing a coal stove and preparing for another Preston County winter.  We had fall pictures taken mid October in Deep Creek MD.  It was blistery cold and windy but you didn't mind at all - you giggled as mommy sang to you and laughed uncontrollably when daddy played hide and go seek behind the photographer.  The pictures turned out amazing and I hope when you read this at least one is having up on our walls.

This month marks when I really need to start calling you one and a half year's old and then later almost two instead of saying the amount of months.  Someday.  Some days you look so much like a little boy and are so independent, others you still want to be right next to mama and cry at day care drop off. 

Mama and daddy had a wonderful October with you and are looking forward to this upcoming holiday season :)
