Baby Boy Has Teeth

So this post is extremely overdue since his teeth actually came in on January 18th HOWEVER, he is super sneaky and refuses to let you take pictures of his chompers... until he smiles.  I caught these adorable shots while sitting at my desk.  He is such a happy kid.

Let's play ball Mom

Although I'm slammed with design projects (a great problem to have), I do enjoy my play breaks with little man. Not a lot to report, just some fun pictures to browse. Enjoy!

Dedicating Wyatt

Yesterday we celebrated our little gift from above with his dedication at church.  Our family gathered with us for the occasion along with Wyatt's Godparents.  Such a meaningful time making a promise to God, to Wyatt, to our families and to our church that we would raise Wyatt in a loving, Christ-centered home.  Reflecting on it this morning gives me such a feeling of honor.  What an awesome role Brandon and I play!

Here are some photos of the fun!

Brandon reading a portion of the letter we wrote to Wyatt on stage.  He did GREAT!

Here come the teeth

Exciting news out of the Hunt house - we have 2 new teeth coming through! The pearly whites broke through on Friday & have been the topic of many conversations since. (Who would've thought that chats of baby teeth would be so interesting to me...)

This kid is always fast to smile & now has something new to show off when he does. I hope he always has such a great attitude.

Sweet potatoes with a side of smiles

Super mom here reporting that I finally attempted & successfully made baby food for little man! I don't know who was happier with the end result - him or me.

Brandon's sweet Memaw gave us some of her home grown sweet potatoes which neither of us eat. Wyatt, on the other hand, loves sweet potatoes. Instead of letting them go to waste I decided to bake them up, blend them soft & feed my ever growing boy. Success!

Even though baby food doesn't break the bank, I may give other items a go just for kicks & giggles. If you're interested, here is how I did it.

1. Take sweet potato(s) & poke holes into them with a fork. Wrap in aluminum foil.
2. Bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes. Let cool when finished baking.
3. Once cool, scoop sweet potato out of skins into a blender. I used my husband's favorite appliance - his Magic Bullet). Add water as needed to achieve proper consistency.
4. Store in containers & feed that baby!

Wyatt says this recipe rocks... See?

Oh how they grow: 5 Months

I can't even believe that I'm sitting here writing this blog post - he is 5 months already?  I feel like I just got home from the hospital with my 7lb bundle of joy.  Now, he is 14lbs of spunk.  We are so blessed.

I'm 5 Months Old Today!

Look at what I can do!

Hey!

Too cute.

Charlie gives too many kisses!

Baby Prayers

Today I don't have much to say, just a photo to share that I like to call "Baby Prayers". Enjoy readers.

Mom Photography

I recently received a "new" (to me) SLR camera & have been busy snapping shots of my beautiful little family & home with it as I learn all the nobs & buttons.  Here are a few that I love most.  Enjoy!

Savin' Space

Our house is officially kid-friendly as of today. The arrival of the Fisher Price Space Saver chair marks the final piece of the "items needed" puzzle. I've heard amazing reviews of this thing, but will hold out on my own until we use it a few times.

Let's EAT!

NYE Nap

In preparation for tonight's festivities, it is nap time at the Hunt house. (According to Wyatt, there is no sleep better than on Daddy's shoulder.)

Happy New Year y'all!!

2012: A Year Full of Blessings

Wow. The year is coming to a close. I cannot believe what amazing blessings 2012 has brought to our lives. This year we bought & house, enjoyed an awesome family vacation in Tybee, attended three beautiful family weddings (congrats Grant & Lauren, Jonathan & Madison, Logan & Chelsea), celebrated our two year anniversary, became an Uncle & an Aunt and most importantly, became the parents of a precious little boy named Wyatt Briggs. Such wonderful things.

This year we also celebrated the lives of Brandon's Pawpaw & my Grandaddy as they left us to enjoy eternity with our Lord. Although we miss them dearly, we know they continue to watch over us as we grow our little family.

Here are some pictures from our 2012. Wishing you & yours a BLESSED 2013!! Here is to new adventures, new opportunities & a new year!!

The "arteest"

Wyatt has learned to "finger paint" with one of my iPhone apps. I think he may give Jackson Pollock a run for his money.

iKid

I know the younger generations are always more technology equip but I never thought that my four month old son would surpass me so soon. Already he plays with his "Wyatt" apps, takes pictures of himself & today he even switched apps from the kiddie one to ESPN. Yep, that's my boy.
