Hunter Lane...5 going on 16

Our Sweet Little Boy turned 5 on August 28, 2008. That's right, my baby is not a baby anymore. He has reached a milestone birthday and made his parents realize that they too are getting older as well.


Hunter has had many changes the past couple of months...the biggest being his new brother, but others as well. He started going to preschool three times a week for a couple of hours in the afternoon. He enjoys it. AND after a talking to about why we don't talk to girls at circle time and have to sit out, it's been pretty smooth sailing. (He's always been a flirter, unfortunately he's gotten this from his mother. )



Our family always goes to the State Fair and we knew this year wouldn't be any different just because we had a four week old at home, or was he three weeks, anyway, that's just relative really...anyway so we go the first Saturday of the Fair...CAN WE SAY RAIN!!! We left and it was starting to sprinkle but when we looked at the radar it was clear for miles and miles, however, after we got there, all it did was rain, let up, rain, let up...it was miserable! So, after we rode some rides, got the Pronto Pup we have been craving since the last fair and looked around for awhile we headed home. Here is a picture of Hunter doing the trampoline. He couldn't figure out how to flip over but he had fun trying.




The last exciting event in September for Hunter was a trip to the ER. I was shopping with my mom and got a call from Drew saying," He's done it this time. He's really hurt himself now." So, I drove a little faster and managed to get home in a few minutes. Hunter was playing in the house while Drew was in the garage for a minute. He comes in the garage crying and screaming saying his neck went POP! I get home and he is still crying. I am the kind of person that goes to the doctor for everything (well, maybe except now, since I am just now experiencing the world of co-pays since we only have one insurance) so my baby possibly doing something to his neck and him crying nonstop over it, made me scoop him up, and take him the ER. We went to the Wesley one, but after an hour of waiting and nothing happening we packed everyone up again and went to Galichia. Now...Hunter was screaming and crying this whole time. Poor Baby!!! It hurt so bad he couldn't even lean back in my arms for comfort. They thought maybe he did something to his shoulder but after further investigation and the IB Profen finally kicking in that daddy gave him right after he hurt himself, he was diagnosed with a strained neck and sent home to rest and heal...YEAH RIGHT! I took him to Cooper's chiropractor the next day and he popped it into place. He called it something or another and the popping back in place freaked Hunter out. It was a delayed response but when we got in the car he cried and said the man hurt it. He stopped crying after a minute or two. Anyway, I don't think I'll ever get him to go to the chiropractor again! The chiropractor just laughed and said well, if he ever wants to come back you know he's really hurt!!!
So that was basically our September...stay tuned for October. With Halloween coming, and us having to go to EVERY Halloween store at least two times already to look at the light up, scary, Halloween stuff...there has to be a story or two to share!
