9 and 10 months...anyone sick of Hunter yet?

 So you remember my posts about my perfect, precious, well dispositioned child?  Poor Hunter's 9th month was filled with colds, teeth, and all around crabbiness.  The always happy, easy going baby he once was has been replaced by a feisty, opinionated 4th child, who is taking his behavior cues from his 2 year old sister.  But of course we still think he's the best!

 Ever since Hunter started crawling around 8 months, he has been pulling up on everything.  He now stands totally independently and has even taken a step.  I'm sure in another month he'll be walking.  He's definitely not the stubborn 10 month old that Luke was - refusing to fail - Hunter has fallen down more times than any of my kids in his efforts to walk and stand.  He's mastered the slide climb.  He will climb up and then slide down on his belly.  He climbs up furniture in the playroom to see out the window if someone is outside.  He LOVES Joshua's guitar - and tries to play it whenever he gets the opportunity.   He says bye bye - with hands and voice,  Mama and Dada, and I swear he said all done once.  He's a pretty good independent player, and loves to find things around the house to keep himself entertained.  He loves to be held, especially by John.  Probably because John is so good about walking around the house with Hunter on his hip.  We love our Hunter boy!

He is so cute. And he already says more words than Monte--I am jealous.
