What a crazy month! To many, this past month has been one of the longest in history. For us, this month has flown by and I can’t believe Hunter is already one month old!
Hunter is 10 lbs 3 oz. and 22-1/4 inches. We are going to the doctor on Monday for his one month check up. I’m not really looking forward to going because due to COVID-19 only one caregiver is allowed in and I get to take both him and Sienna in for their 1 month and 3 year old shots, respectively.
Hunter is a lot more alert these days and is following voices. He loves to stand and stretch his legs on Mommy and looking over my shoulder. He loves napping on Daddy and listening to his deep voice. Hunter loves when Bailey dotes on him and cuddles with him before her lessons. He loves looking at Sienna when she is doing her flips and even when she invades his personal bubble. He loves watching Bubba walk by and when he sits and protects him during tummy time. Hunter loves baths, cuddling up like a little tree frog, going on walks in the Solly and ring sling, watching the girls during their dance class and looking at himself in the mirror and taking selfies. He also loves to video chat with his grandparents and listening to Mommy sing. The world right now may be more different than we have ever known, but we are so lucky to be together with the chance to spend so much time with our little family. Hunter has definitely been the bright spot to our 2020 and we love him so!
Baby Smiles
Hunter is a happy little guy so far and he has gone from just smiling in his sleep to giving us sweet smiles during the day. the girls like to see who he smiles at first everyday.
Tummy Time
Hunter is rocking tummy time. He has been working hard on his neck muscles and most recently strengthening his legs standing on Mommy.

Enjoying the Sunshine
This weather has been a little all over the place this week but we are enjoying the sunshine when we can. Hunter loves to lay out on our outdoor sofa listening to the birds and his sisters playing. He also loves to snuggle up in the Solly wrap and our ring sling and go on walks and nature hikes with everyone.
Schorr Princess Quarantine Ball
Our family has fared fairly well in this quarantine. The girls have been enjoying home school and we’ve tried to get outside to learn about nature and the rest of the world when we can. I feel like the girls are closer than ever and I am really proud with how they have used their imagination and creativity. It has been hard not seeing Gigi everyday and going to some of our favorite spring spots. Every once in awhile the stress will get to the girls and when Sienna had a meltdown about not being able to go to a dance, I had an idea.
We created invitations, made cupcakes and created the first ever Schorr Princess Quarantine Ball! The girls got their hair done (by Mom), picked out their fanciest dresses and danced the night away to our favorite songs on the dance floor Dad created. There were still a few meltdowns but overall everyone had a great time.
Family Skype
When the quarantine keeps you away from the ones you love the most, you have to find new ways to connect. Hunter has been doing a lot of Skype/Zoom/FB Messanger -ing with Gigi & Pop Pop, Grandma & Grandpa Schorr and Granny. We definitely can’t wait to see everyone in person and give lots of hugs and cuddles, but for now we are grateful for what we do have.
Sweet Slumber
Hunter has been a pretty good sleeper so far. He’s not too fond of sleeping in the swing or bouncer and would prefer to be held – thank goodness for baby wearing. He does do pretty well in his bassinet at night, even though keeping a swaddle on him has been challenging. Though I am soaking up all the baby snuggles that I can during this quarantine.
Snapchat
The girls are sharing their love of Snapchat with Hunter and so far he loves it!
We are so fortunate to have Hunter in our lives. He has given us so much joy in this short month, especially as we’ve been staying at home. We’re fortunate to have all this time together as a family and I am excited to see what the future brings. We love you little buddy!
