Micaiah Davis Harrington Arrives!

Around 9:45pm Friday, July 31, Micaiah (Cai) Davis Harrington was born! We had been waiting in anticipation all day! He was so cute! He weighed 7 pounds 12 ounces and was 21 1/2 inches long! What a cutie!!!

I love the tongue sticking out!

Saturday morning Hunter came to the hospital and got to meet his new friend, Cai! He didn't know what to think. He just kept saying Cai and then he would say baby! When Michael held him and Cai, Hunter barely touched his face and just started smiling and clapping! How sweet! I'm sure Hunter will teach Cai a lot over the next few years...hopefully it will all be good things! :)

Me holding Cai for the first time!

He looked so small in Michael's arms...Hunter was never that little!

Amy and Mimi came with us also to see and meet Cai for the first time! Everyone was so happy that he was finally here! I'll make sure to post some more pics of Cai and his family soon!
For that moment, Hunter was excited to see Mimi holding Cai. Hopefully he will not become too jealous in the future! haha
Hunter was so sweet and careful with Cai. It's amazing how gentle he knew he needed to be!

Waiting in Anticipation...

Two weeks ago today, we were hanging out at Greenville Memorial Hospital waiting on Hunter's new buddy, Cai Harrington to be born. Above are some pictures that were taken in the hospital while waiting to meet his new buddy! As you can see in the last picture, Hunter got a little crazy in the waiting room!

Hunter and his Great - Grannys!

A couple of weeks ago, Hunter went and visited his Great-Grannys! It makes it much easier to see them now that they both live in Franklin! Hunter loves spending time with them!

Hunter was Granny Ruby's lap buddy for quite a while when she shared her cereal snack with him. Anyone willing to give him a snack definitely becomes his new buddy!

Then Hunter visited his other Great-Granny, Granny Moretz. It was her birthday and Hunter wanted to wish her a great 81st birthday! Once Granny Moretz gets finished with her physical therapy, she has told Hunter that she is coming to stay with him a few days!

While in Franklin, he also was able to hang out with his Nana and Papaw and cousins! Above is Hunter and Caleb or "Laleb" as Hunter says. Hunter enjoyed Caleb getting down on his level to play with him!

Bops (Pops) Boy...

Although you may not be able to see what is on the fork in all of the pictures above where Hunter is super excited, it has been dipped each time in ketchup! This boy loves ketchup. He definitely gets this from his "Bop"! When we go to chickfila or anywhere, he would enjoy eating just ketchup and nothing else! If you try to feed him meat or fries, all they are used for is a dipping stick for the ketchup! I like ketchup, but that is just a little much!

Neigh! Neigh!

Not exactly the best picture, since #1 - Hunter was afraid of the baby horse and #2 - our camera batteries died after the first picture! For those of you who have come to our house, you know what I mean by the "crazy animal house." Well down at the crazy animal house, they now have a new baby miniature horse! We knew it was the tiniest baby horse we had ever seen but soon learned that it was a miniature horse. The owners seem to enjoy visitors stopping by, so one Saturday afternoon we stopped and let Hunter out to meet the baby horse. The owner actually came out and let us in the cage to pet him! He was very sweet but wanted to come very close and lick you. Hunter was not so sure of that. Probably the best part of this whole trip was that Hunter was more interested in the cat and rooster in the fence than the baby horse! He does however say "neigh" everytime we pass it now. At least Mama and Dada really enjoyed petting and seeing a horse that tiny!

Hat!

A couple of weeks ago, we met a couple at Dairy Queen in Pendleton to give them their wedding pictures. Since we were meeting there, we decided we couldn't pass up a chance for ice cream. When we went in, we found that they sold miniature major league baseball hats with ice cream in them for kids. I didn't even know they still made those. Hunter had his vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup in his proud new hat! He was ready to finish the ice cream quickly so he could model his new hat! Not only does his new hat serve as a hat, but it also has become a glove for some of his small balls!

A 16 month old Hooked on Wii

For a few weeks, we borrowed Mimi and Pops Wii and games. Mama and Dada thought it was great and we would use it a lot. What we soon realized was that a 16 month old can quickly become addicted to Wii! While it was great to be able to play and get some exercise at the same time, we soon looked forward to getting the Wii back to Mimi and Pops, especially when Hunter realized that his tv remote was not doing the same thing as Mama and Dada's Wii remote!

Hunter's favorite game was "bae" ball!

He even figured out the buttons on the tv that changed the input so he could play!

He and Pops had their own Wii tournament against each other!

Can you tell his boy enjoyed his time with the Wii?

Rub a Dub Dub...

It's so nice to have a little boy that loves taking a bath, especially now that he is eating more on his own and digging in the dirt more than ever! Anytime we can't get him inside the house at night from playing outside, we just bribe him by telling him we are going inside to give him a bath. He then will drop the rocks or get off of his bike or swingset and run to the door!

Being a Cheeseball for the Camera

So this is what a photographer's son does for fun...."CHEESE" :)

Or maybe this is what a son of a photographer gets asked to do! :)

Hanging Out with Mimi and "Bop" (Pop)

Hunter enjoys hanging out with Mimi and Pops (or Bop as Hunter says)! Even after they are gone home, he continues to call for them and knock on their bedroom door. Below you can see why he misses them so much when they leave!

They put Hunter's sunglasses on his head and he becomes what he calls a "cool dude." Then they head outside to Hunter's new ride. Hunter's cousins - Britt and Caleb gave him a bicycle that used to be theirs and Hunter loves taking rides on it! Thanks Britt and Caleb! He can't quite reach the pedals but it won't be long.

Then Mimi and Pops teaches him to read while getting his diaper changed! haha.. What a child prodigy!
Then Hunter just props his feet up on the toy box while they sit on the floor playing with him in his room!

No wonder Hunter is sad when Mimi and Bop leave! :)
