The Williams Family: Back to work

This week I started back to work, while Kevin stayed home with Hunter. I am happy to report that all three of us survived! Although I missed Hunter while I was away, I think it was great for Kevin and Hunter to have two days of father and son time. Plus, Kevin was able to see first hand what I had been doing for the last eight weeks. During their time together, Kevin took Hunter to Gander Mountain, which I'm sure willl be his first of many trips. I have a feeling when Hunter stays home with Kevin on his off Fridays there will be many trips to Gander Mountain, Bass Pro Shop, and Academy in his future.

Yesterday, we took Hunter for his two month checkup. He now weights 12 lbs. 5 oz. and is 24 inches long. This puts him in the 75th percentile for weight, and 90th percentile for height. Our baby boy is getting so big! Hunter also got two shots and an oral vaccine yesterday. Of course he cried when given the shots, but we were able to calm him down and then he was fine for the rest of the day. We are very fortunate to be blessed with such a happy baby. It seems like everyday we notice changes in him. He continues to become more alert with each day that passes, and he now likes to suck on his hand and drools a lot. Luckily, he hasn't found his thumb yet! He also loves to sit up. He is not able to sit up on his own yet, but he is constantly trying to and so we have to help out, otherwise he becomes frustrated.

This week will be a big week for Hunter. Tomorrow he will make his first long car ride to Vidor to meet his Great Grandpa C.H., and on Saturday he will make another one to Lufkin to see Lolli, Pops, and one of his two Uncle Kyles. (Yes, he has two Uncle Kyles which we will still have to nickname). Hopefully it will all go well.
