OK nevermind, forget my last entry… Hunter’s suddenly gone back to clocking in his usual 7-8 hour stretches of sleep for the past few nights now, and napping well during the day. It’s like he heard me bitching him out the other day. I feel bad! I suppose we’ll see if it all hits the fan again, but so far so good, keeping my fingers crossed. Babies can be so unpredictable *grumbles*
Good timing, as this week I’ll be out every day, almost all day, with friends and/or doing errands. Maybe around 7-8 outings this week with Hunter, up from the usual 5-6 outings a week that I cart him out on. So I really hope he’s up for it!

Since people below (and Chris too!) reckon he looks like me,
here’s a comparison of a photo of me when I was a kiddo 😛
I think it is fantastic that you take hunter out somuch. I dont have kids but I feel pretty strongly that kids learn how to behave/social cues from actually being exposed to different environments and in the end they are a lot more easy going.
I love that you are such an active mum, you havent become chained to the lounge with the baby. Your an inspiration….
Have you headed back to the gym? will you?
I fully agree!! I strongly believe that if kids are sheltered at home and always nap in the same place, they get quite anxious once they’re out. So we try to expose Hunter to many situations/sounds and so now he’s very chill when we go out. I hope it continues 🙂
Errrrrr I need to go to the gym regularly but am no where near. Oops!!
Yay for sleep again!
I know exactly what you mean about the sleep issue and I would be all worked up when my baby girl has a glitch in her sleep schedule. But I have slowly realize that things just change sometimes but luckily they usually fall back to place eventually. I had to sleep train my baby girl again this past week and she’s already 11 months.
Hunter DOES look like you!
Re: Yay for sleep again!
I did hear sleep regression occurs frequently in a young child…. oh nooooo!

Oh WOW!!! How amazing is the resemblance!!!!! 🙂 Awesome. Great to hear Hunter’s back to his regular sleeping patterns!!!! Enjoy your baby-Mummy outings!
Yeah I’m thankful for not having to wake up every hour…. ugh!!
the wonder weeks
hey Bev, if you’re looking for a book on baby development – try The Wonder Weeks. around 3 months of age, they go through a growth spurt and that’s probably why little Hunter went a bit nuts for a few days… TWW is the only parenting book I ever bought, it did seem to match up with my 2 kids’ ‘stormy’ days. 🙂 xx
Re: the wonder weeks
I’ve heard about that but can’t find the book here, I checked out the website though and it sounds about right… thank you for that!
H’es nice and soft and squishy, lol!

Hi, previously I thought Hunter looked more like Chris but looking at these pictures he looks so much like you. Hunter is sooooo cute, good to hear things have settled down. Stefanie
Heh yeah he does change from week to week.. which is so interesting to see!
That little cherub son is so def the image of you Beverly.
oh and btw I had a nearly 10pd boy. Who stayed up at the 95th percentile for everything until he was about 2. I used to joke that he looked like a soccer ball with little arms and legs and a tonne of black hair!. he’s now nearly 6, and tall and skinny as a bean pole. He’s halfway through his prep year at school and is as tall as kids 3 years older than he. He’s a tad clumsy, he’s brain can’t keep up with his body.
But don’t ever worry about how “robust” Hunter is. just makes them all the more cuddly and squishy.
Wow you had a big boy!! Yeah I don’t mind them tall of course, but there’s always the fear of having an overweight toddler. I suppose we’ll have to teach him healthy eating habits… and we’d better do the same too 😉
Hunter is a mini-Bev! Cute!
Haha it’s super fun having a mini-me of our own 😛

I agree with everyone!
Great resemblance in the second picture!
Heheh its cos we pulled almost exactly the same face 😉
I still maintain he looks more like you than Chris!
Babies are impossible to figure out. Just know there will be more fussy/sleepless periods to come 😉
Yeah.. i thought it was just when they are real young but mummies tell me they still get like that at 2+yrs old, eek!
Hunter is a mini-Bev! Cute!
Haha it’s super fun having a mini-me of our own 😛
lol! Love that slightly stunned look you both have, like “Whaaa?”
It’s our signature look, I think 😉
like mother like son
Haha yeah sometimes!
Aww your son is too cute! I just stumbled on to your blog and definitely is super cute. He definitely looks like you 🙂 love those chubby cheeks

For now anyway, heh! I think life is truly over as a couple that gets to bum around and do whatever they want 😉
Hunter is your Doppelgänger (as you were a kid).

OMG very VERY similar! Especially the nose and expression haha! Cute indeed.
Hehe yeah, so funny how he mimicked my expression!
