big boys still cry!

my baby has officially grown up into a big boy. in the last two weeks, hunter has mastered his spoon and fork -- but more than that, he refuses to eat with a "baby" fork...he needs a big boy one.

and then...this weekend, hunter's crib came down, and his big boy bed went up! i was going to wait to switch him over -- keep him a baby for awhile longer...he looks so little in his crib. buuutttt a few weeks ago, while out shopping, my mom bought him a big boy bed for her house. he was so excited about it, and absolutely loved it! chase's cousin holly got married this weekend (very nice wedding, pictures to be posted soon), so hunter stayed with my parents. he slept the whole night in his bed without any problems, so, i figured it was time...

this was right after his last nap in his crib...



...and then...

daddy took the crib down, and up went his brand new car bed! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa!

At first, he wanted to get in it while i was still making it, so he started throwing a fit. well, even after we put him in it, he kept throwing his fit...



finally, he calmed down enough to lay happily with daddy...i don't think chase fits well.


and this was right before bedtime -- a few hours later, he woke up screaming because he fell out - hehe.



last weekend, we went to the zoo for a few hours in the morning. hunter was very well behaved, the weather was beautiful (a little chilly even!!!) and the zoo wasn't crowded at all!
