- [Jessica] Hi, we're Stephen and Jess.
And back in June, our lives changed forever.
As our little girl came into the world.
- [Stephen] Words can't describe how magical it has been
watching her grow up over the last seven months.
And whilst Hunter is still forming memories of her own,
we've been capturing all these moments for her
to look back on when she's older.
To see all her milestones over the first year of her life.
- [Jessica] From learning to smile in her first two months
to starting to giggle at four months.
So, this is little Hunter.
She's currently seven months old and she's getting so big.
Like when people say don't buy too many little clothes
for babies, they definitely right
because she's already outgrown
basically everything that we got her
and she's seven months old
and wearing one year old clothing.
I recently had the very sad task
of putting away all the clothes that don't fit her.
Like I think just show you the difference.
So these are the little jumpers that she used to wear
and I just went and got her new jumpers for next winter.
Look at the size difference.
She's growing away too fast.
- So let's just rewind and take you back
to when she was five months old.
Because during that time I turned 30
and we decided to go on a big family road trip.
This one went on a boat ride for the very first time.
So we did a very quick one, a short boat ride.
We went and swam with seals
And because she loved it so much,
a couple of days later, we did an entire full day trip
up and broom (camera clicks) with Jess and myself.
When we swam with humpback whales.
We also swam with whale sharks as well.
And honestly, I think this one loved it so much
because we love going on road trips.
And we weren't sure she would do it
but we tried 4,000 kilometers
and it just brought a smile to our face
because we just know we can keep traveling
through road trips.
(lively upbeat music)
So also on that trip, another little milestone,
this one, went on my shoulders
for the very (camera clicks) first time
and (chuckles) as you can see she loves it so much.
(Love and War in Your Twenties song starts),
♪ Your twenties are for spending hours and hours pretending ♪

♪ But everybody knows your twenties are for wasting time ♪
(Love and War in Your Twenties song)
(Love and War in Your Twenties stops)
(laughs)
When you try doing a gag and it turns into another gag.
(laughs)
(water pouring)
(splashing sound)
So this one absolutely loves water.
In the last update,
she was just starting newborn swim school.
She is now graduated.
So in the coming week she should be ready
to go to big girls' swim school.
Now the big milestone is
in the last update she could barely sit.
As you can see now she has pretty much sitting up
and (water splashing) honestly it's her favorite thing
because now that she can sit up
she can have her favorite thing.
(baby sound)
- [Jessica] She just (chuckles) is showing more
and more interest in food.
It's daddy's food ready to go.
Just one bite dad, please. - Get some teeth first
(Jessica chuckles)
(lively upbeat music)
(beep music)
- Dad you want some?
You want some?
(lively upbeat music)
(bell dings)
(baby sound)
(lively upbeat music)
(bell dings)
- [Jessica] So just before Hunter turned six months
we finally gave her a taste of food.
Her first ever food was avocado.
And yes, I had an avocado onesie for the occasion.
All right, what do you think of this?
(chuckles softly)
Yeah, and ever since that moment, she has fallen in love.
(bright upbeat music)
(baby sound)
- [Stephen] At this point you're just getting spoiled.
(lively upbeat music)
Breakfast is served.
(lively upbeat music)
- [Jessica] Its avocado and toast.
(lively upbeat music)
I feel like favorite meal of the day is always breakfast.
She absolutely loves oatmeal, Weet-Bix,
Greek yogurt, blueberries
but another big fan pasta, what do you think?
So good, hey.
The other day we gave her spaghetti
and that was like the cutest thing.
And then another favorite of hers is Mexican.
She's also currently learning how to drink
from an open cup and she absolutely loves water.
(lively upbeat music)
Hunter, do you want a drink?
(chuckles) Too cute.
Do you love pasta?
(lively upbeat music)
(baby sound)
(Jessica laughs softly)
As Hunter hit six months,
she went on her first interstate flight.
Australia got to a massive milestone with the pandemic.
The borders opened after being closed for her entire life
which meant Hunter wasn't able to meet her grandparents.
The moment the borders opened,
we flew straight to Queensland
and Hunter got to meet her Mima, her grand dada
and her auntie Eliza and uncle Jake for the very first time.

Now let's head back to the video
- Probably for us
the most exciting thing that she started doing
when she hit six months old, she started saying mum and dad.
(baby sound)
- Mum.
Mum.
- And now I know, I don't think she actually realized
that she was actually saying mum and dad
but she can say the word.
So she would just sit there
and go mum, mum, mum, mum, and dad, dad, dad, dad.
Yes (chuckles) you can.
It's her favorite words whenever we say it
and it is so cute.
'Cause you can kind of hear her little voice coming through,
can't you?
And by now you'll also probably see
that she loves saying the word, yeah.
Yeah?
- Yeah.
- So you guys all probably know by now
how much little Hunter loves her sleep.
And over the last month she's actually started to roll over
and sleep on her tummy.
It is so cute.
She's currently having a nap right now.
And there she's sleeping on a little tummy.
So cute.
It is definitely her favorite position to sleep now.
Like the moment we put her down for bed,
she rolls straight over.
(wind whooshing)
- [Stephen] Good morning tummy sleeper?
How're you doing?
Hi.
- So I think this little one
is going to be mobile very soon.
The last time we did a little update,
we were getting excited that she could what?
Lift up her neck?
Now she's almost crawling.
So she started by crawling backwards.
Then she started crawling in a circle.
Okay.
Ready Hunter?
(lively upbeat music)
You go get it.
(lively upbeat music)
How're you gonna get there?
(lively upbeat music)
(chuckles)
Come on.
Getting closer.
(lively upbeat music)
(rustling sound)
(chuckles) Good girl.
And only this week she started to crawl forward.
And now when I say crawl, it's more like doing the worm.
And she will only do it over one thing.
She has a new love, move over Fred, move over Benjamin.
She's obsessed with the TV remote control
(chuckles)
(lively upbeat music)
Oh no.
What (chuckles) are you gonna do about it baba?
What are you gonna do about it?
(lively upbeat music)
(Stephen chuckles)
- [Stephen] That was too easy.
(Jessica chuckles)
- Go get it.
(lively upbeat music)
Oh so close.
(chuckles)
She is using her knees Steve.
- [Stephen] Look at that.
- Too cute, for little,
(lively upbeat music)
Come get it.
(baby sound)
You are so close.
Come on get up.
(lively upbeat music)
Go.
(baby sound)
(lively upbeat music)
You got it.
(Stephen chuckles)
- [Stephen] Point of view you're got the remote
(Stephen laughs)
(lively upbeat music)
- You wanna cuddle?
Oh you wanna cuddle.
(kisses)
Cuddle?
Ah cuddle, cuddle, cuddle.
Oh, you're so sweet.
Hunter started to become so cuddly.
And before she would never cuddle us.
(baby sound)
Hi, have you become a little cuddle monster?
Oh cuddles, cuddle monster.
- [Stephen] Oh, and another huge thing.
Hunter had her very first Christmas and don't worry.
We did a whole video on that
if you haven't checked it out.
- And probably one of the biggest changes with Hunter
that you probably all noticed, is her hair.
Yep.
It has grown so fast and it is no longer a brunette color.
It is now full-on blonde,
(click sound),
(bell dings)
so long and curly like her dad.
(Stephen chuckles)
(Hunter laughs)
(lively upbeat music)
- You ready baby?
Hi five.
Yay (claps) high five.
