Boy's Best Friend!

See Hunter, we told you one day you would be best friends!!  

(When Austin was born, Hunter wasn't the biggest fan!!  It took him a LONG time to open up to his new brother!!  We think Hunter was slightly jealous of having to share all of the attention!!)

...But look at them now!

It is so fun to watch Austin and Hunter play together!!  They tease each other, they chase each other and they even cuddle!!  Austin loves to "pat-pat" Hunter (which can end up either being a nice pat on the back, or a big slap which makes Hunter cringe, but Austin doesn't seem to know gentle is better yet!!)  And Hunter is quite the trooper, always there to pick up Austin's scraps from the high chair, or food flung from tantrums from Austin being "all done right now!!," providing his back as a road for Austin to drive his cars on, games of chase when Austin thinks it's hilarious to try to grab Hunter's tail, and making Austin giggle when Hunter runs away with one of Austin's toys and we chase him trying to get it back!!  Hunter even sleeps outside Austin's bedroom door when Austin is down for naps!  We knew one day these two would be buddies!!!!

 

I love this picture!!  Austin gets so excited to play catch with Hunter...it's like he's saying, "Ah shucks Hunter, you're the best!!"

Sharing a snack together in our courtyard...their favorite place to hang together and watch out the gate!

A favorite nightly game...they race each other up the stairs and Hunter always wins, taunting Austin at the top!!

Hunter loves to "plop" down in the middle of whatever Austin is doing!!  Here's Austin trying to move Hunter out of the way so he can continue kicking goals!!  Hunter loves to be a part of what Austin is doing!

Austin laughing as he tries to get the ball back from Hunter to play a game of catch!
