bedtime. oh and the stalling it brings. i wonder if it's on hunter's part or daddy's. it's probably both. i can't blame them... daddy gets home and has an hour or so with the son until it's his bedtime. i'd want to tarry a bit, too.
hunter's bedtime begins with crib side fun.
daddy is about to tickle him. hunter's getting prepared...
daddy got him.
waiting for daddy to tickle him some more.
hiding. {this is my all time fave.} he really thinks that hiding in the corner means he's invisible.
and then daddy says, okay, it's really bedtime now. hunter's thrilled {sarcasm implied}.
oh man. i love all the "dailys" of taking care of my boy! bedtime, stalling, and all! do we ever love our lil' son. kelly and i spend so much time just talking about how much we adore hunter and how thankful we are for God's gift of our child.
"wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. "
- psalm 139:14b
p.s. - hunter does wear pajama's to bed. that's step #2, after crib side fun.

This was such a sweet, lovely post, Carissa. I love your bedtime routine for him. He's an adorable darling.
Love your blog...your posts make me SMILE. :-)
Love,

Precious! I love that pic where he really looks like he thinks he is invisible just presh! Daddy's and their bonding with their babies is just PRICELESS! What great memories you caught on camera!
Love this post, oh and I love that bible verse
Have a great day sweet friend!
xoxo
Summer :0)
Oh my word....That picture of Hunter 'hiding' melts my heart! What a cutie!!! I'd eat him up every single day!
So cute. I love it when they think they are hiding too. They think if they can't see you then you can't see them.
What a cutie! I love the one of him hiding in the corner:)
love the pictures! you don't have to add the PS in though. in summer the kids usually sleep in their diapers or just t-shirts because it's so humid in our house with no a/c.
my hubby works later some nights and i let the kids stay up later on those days because i want them to see their daddy and get that crazy special time with him that ONLY he can give. :0)
Nothing like some daddy time and a few tickles. That is the sweetest bedtime routine around!
Hey Carissa!
It's so funny how I relate to your posts! I always laugh! I understand your crying at the post office! These days I had to go get blood work and take Tiago too..so I waited to go on a saturday with Marcos (didn't want to take him alone!). Anyway, we got there and neither of us was able to get our exams done (for dumb reasons). I started crying in front of everyone and left as if I was a little child who was told could not have the toy she wanted! Marcos tried really hard not to laugh... lol.
I know what you mean with the LOVE we feel for our little boys!! Marcos will even tell me he cannot imagine he will love Larissa as much as he loves Tiago. Oh but he will :). We both know it, but isn't it hard to imagine how you can feel so much love?
Oh and here in our house it's the same story...Tiago waits and waits for daddy o come home (and he's usually really tired while waiting - since i's already 8pm) and when he does, they only have about half hour together 'till bedtime. So you can imagine that half hour! It wakes him up in such a way he will lie in bed awake for a long time try to unwind...he sings, calls out for Marcos, sings some more, talks to himself, sings some more..last night I even tried recording him sing! It was so cute.
I was feeling a lot of contractions too, are you still? The past few days it got better for me...but I'm resting more too.
he's such a cutie! My Cooper's bedtime was always late becuase Daddy wanted time with him at night! Now its the same way with Annabelle, too. (When I say late, I mean like 9:00...but I know lots of people who's kids' bedtimes are like 7:30)...
Oh, and Hunter hiding in the corner is just too precious! What a treasure that you have a picture of it! (I LOVE photos) :)
What a ham! He is so precious! Your house is going to be twice the fun when there's two :) PS I totally know what you mean about the baby and their name just fitting them. I think they either fit into the name or vice versa. I gotcha! ;)
We also used to have a late bed time and I mean always since she was little! Daddy also gets home late and I refused to have her asleep before he got home. It wasn't until just recently that she gave up naps, now she can be asleep by 8! Adjustment was big but enjoying our alone time.
really super sweet. i can almost hear the giggling of tickle time through the photos!
Hi! I'm a new follower. I found your blog from 'junghwa by amy stewart's' blog! Let me just say that your son is adorable, and that I am a fellow sister in Christ! Love your blog.
and be sure to enter my first giveaway ever over at my blog! xoxox
Such precious memories that you will be so glad you wrote about! Hunter is such a cutie pie!
Awww, so cute! Q's Dadda does the same thing, stalls before bed time because they only have about an hour or two together. Me, I'm like, put the child to bed so we can have some time together. LOL!
Haha I love his 'thrilled' face! And the jungle bumper is really cute - that's the theme in Luke's room, too.
Ohhh I just want to kiss his little cheeks!
He is precious!! enjoy his giggles.
Enjoying your blog! Such a cutie you have there! Enjoy every minute they grow up fast!
~blessings
I'm so with Hunter on the hiding! Sometimes I just close my eyes and pretend everyone has disappeared, too...
Awe, so adorable. I love it when kids think if they hide, we can't see them. Happy Wednesday! :)
sweet and precious! I love the corner hiding too :) little ones are so innocent and certain of themselves!
such a cutie!
Good Morning Dear! Oh what a fabulous way to end a day... with a little boy laughing and giggling. You're one lucky lady, do you know that? I have a feeling you already do ;-) Love ya girl!
awww, sweet!! I love the "hiding" one- Reese used to do that too! Now the older boys stall by singing "bedtime" songs... for like an hour =)
He's just so cute, and makes me want a baby so badly! :)
And I love those pictures!
He is the cutest little man!!!!! Such a happy boy :-)
I love these picys....my one and a half year old was yelling baby and laughing at the pictures, she loved it!
Hes so good at hiding, I didnt even see him!hahaha so cute!
I am a new follower and absolutely adore your blog. What a precious little guy. God definitely is good, isn't He?! Enjoy the rest of your week. xoxo!
He is just SO cute!!! I'm sure Hunter just loves the stalling.
I think you are completely normal for not reading the Twilight books... I was boycotting it until Tyson rented the movie...hah! Hope you have a great day!!!
What a cutie! He looks soooo happy - it makes me smile :)
Your baby is so adorable! And I love that you call it cribside fun haha. That reminds me of Applebees' carside to go for some reason.
Love it! WE used to stall when Bailey was a baby. I had to work outside the home the first 2 years of her life...so we kept her up until 10 or 11 most nights. We figured we could just take her to daycare asleep...we needed that extra time with her!!
Fun! The Baby time is so short...enjoy :)

He is precious!!
adorable pictures!! what a cutie :))
Dads with their kids is pretty awesome! I love it, and tickling from Dad is always different than tickling from Mom. heh.
oh my gosh ... the hiding is just so precious!!!!!!!! He has such a sweet little face!! I just want to kiss him through the computer screen! Adorable!! I think I'd stall a bit too ... :)
this is so sweet, love the pics & what a great Bible verse!
ha ha i love the hidey picture!
Life is never dull is it!? I wouldn't have it either other way either. ; )
hahaha! LOVE THIS!!! The pic of him hiding his sweet face in the corner of the crib is priceless. His chubby cheeks are just to much for me... muwahh!
And... just now read your post about the post office. UGH...don't even get me started! I must say though that ours has a self-serve little machine which you can use at all hours of the day! It is FABULOUS and has saved me so much time!
he's too adorable hiding in the corner! my mother in law
calls them the biggest time wasters, because you can
spend hours just watching them do the same thing over
and over again.
is he in for a big surprise when little sage hits the stage!
he's young enough, though, to not even know what's
hitting him. :)
keep the cute baby pictures coming! I'm trying to wear down my husband (who also thinks your little guys is too cute!)
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!! i cant wait for my little boy to be here!!! :)
aw Hunter is absolutely adorable! My little cousins love tickle time too :)
Very cute!!! It'll be even more fun once Sage gets here! :0)
Adorable, adorable, adorable.
Did I say, "Adorable?"
Love the pictures and the routine.
~Rachel~
What a cutie! Your kids are going to be really close in age! ?
too cute!! :) Those pictures really capture the moments!
what a fun action sequence...he it too cute! What fun memories you are making now with him!
Can I squish him???? He is getting so big.
Hi carissa!
love this post, your little one is ADORABLE.
i LOVE being a mom :)
He is SO cute!! Love that little grin!
Hunter is a DOLL. And I looooove his name. Too bad our name starts with an H. :( Anyway, love your pictures as usual!
SUCH cute pictures (:
Aw, he's adorable!
OMG, the "hiding...." SO darn cute! We're at the point where the dude runs away as soon as he senses it's bedtime!
Ohhh..He is soooooo cute.
Great pictures!
Greetings,
Diana
this is so sweet! what precious moments you'll always cherish! He's such a cutie pie!!
And that hiding thing--hilarious!
helen is doing this, where she stands behind me, and peeks around to my face and goes "eh?" its her peek-a-boo game. She laughs so hard. I love the hiding in the crib.
My fav is the hiding in the corner picture. So precious!... and funny!
My little girl likes to hide behind the curtain, even though we can totally see her toes. haha.
What a cute little guy you have!
OH how I remember those days! Enjoy every minute!
Such a sweet and endearing post! LOVED it!! I don't have children yet, but this is a moment that I definitely look forward to. :)
So glad you shared this with us. Still laughing over the "hiding" photo!!
xoxo,
Bonnie

This is so adorable! It's so funny when babies think hiding their eyes = invisible. Hunter is just super duper cute!
Yes, you MUST watch gLee :) you will love it!
You are creating the most delicious journal of your son's life here! What a wonderful gift that is!
Too effin cute!! I love that he hides his face and assumes no one can see him. My son puts his hands over his eyes and acts like no one can see him. I heard that they think "if I can't see them they can't see me" which is perfect logic for a baby.
Your son is so adorable!!
Awe! He is such a cutie! I love that picture of him hiding in the corner too! Kids can be so funny! He is such a blessing to y'all and it is obvious that y'all know it!
Love your blog! HE IS SO CUTE!
how super cute! love the post!
the hiding is ADORABLE!!!!
He is so precious!!!! LOVE the pics!!! I always want to leave you a comment and you always have like 100 or so so I never even know if you get to read mine
hahaha
Aww... Hunter is so cute! And I bet the tickle sessions are the highlight of his day!! :)
this is so precious. I especially love the last picture. :)
What a darlin' little man! I love that he hides in the corner of his bed!! Too cute!
Bedtime fun is the best. Especially when tickles are involved.
oh i love LOVE this! makes me want a sweet one right now!
btw - i've got a new giveaway for some vintage glam! i hope you'll check it out wild-and-precious.com
It's so cute to see him "hiding", my heart leaped!
So sweet. I hope we remember these moments forever. Emma does the same hide in the corner of the crib trick. They really do think they're out of sight.
Love the pic where he is hiding - too cute! My hubby and I do the same thing talking about how good God is to give us our little miracle! I love that you are adding verses at the end of your posts. Very encouraging!
I just want to squeeze that cute little hunk! What a little ham!
You crack me up with the walking (your comment on my blog). I totally know how you feel though. But when he does walk...you'll love it!
