We Love The Fishes!!

April 10, 2007
Shouldn't this be the new Goldfish ad?!
Hayden and Daddy were enjoying an afternoon
snack....and Daddy has taught Hayden
how to pull the crackers from the bag
all by himself! But, he isn't greedy,
he gently takes one at a time.
Yummy!
My little baby is growing up.

Today, We Tried Mousse!!

March 27, 2007
I swear, Hayden is going to need
another haircut soon!!
It seems like his hair is going to be
difficult to keep under control.....
Despite my best efforts, it is always
going every which way!
Boy, that explains his personality
right now too!!

I'll Show You How It Works!

March 23, 2007
Brody is borrowing our excersaucer.......
and Hayden is suddenly
interested in it again!
So, he decides he should show Brody
how everything works....
What are older cousins for, right?!

They look like they are having
a real heart-to-heart!
It is so cute to see them interacting,
and Hayden is gentle with him....
but when he gets older,
let the rough-housing begin!!

I'm 11 Months Old Today!!

"Where's Hayden?"

"Peek-a-boo! There he is!"

March 20, 2007

We can hardly believe that our little Hayden

is 11 months old today!
He loves to play Peek-a-Boo, and will hide behind
a blanket, his hands, his shirt,
or in this case.....is fruit dish!
He is a little monkey and loves
to entertain us!!

Hayden's Milk Goatee!

March 12, 2007
Mr. Hayden is now drinking HOMO milk,
and he likes to be very independant
now that he is such a big boy.....
which equals being messy!!
It usually takes him hours to finish
this bottle because he "grazes."
He is far too busy to sit still....
he must learn this technique from Mommy!

My First Haircut!

March 2, 2007
Hayden is a new man!
He had his first haircut and he
looks so handsome! The mullet is off!!
Our fabulous stylist, Sandra at Fairly Vanilla,
gave him a real little man 'do and it looks
funky and cute when we put product in it too!
He's really not a baby anymore...

You Can't Stop Me Now!!

February 26, 2007
HEY BABY, HOW'S IT GOIN'?!
My child is the king of all things flirtatious!
He looks like he is belly-up-to-the bar
for a little one-on-one conversation...
And with that killer smile,
get outta' here!

And later that day.....
Hayden does the WHOLE STAIRCASE
BY HIMSELF!!!
This happened overnight, and we only showed
him how to do it once! I guess that is the perfect
reason we need to watch what we do
and say with a little monkey around!!

I'm 10 Months Old!!

February 20, 2007
How can you not kiss this sweet face
a million times a day?@#!
As Ralph put it.....our little boy has been
outside of my body longer than he was in it,
and I still can't believe it some days!
He's working on his 5th and 6th
tooth, trying to climb stairs,
and really hating the word "NO!"
He likes to get into anything that he's not
supposed to.....but he's still an angel to me!!

This picture IS worth 1000 words!

February 9, 2007
Hayden is "exploring" EVERYTHING
he can get his little hands on!!
The newest fun thing is playing with the blinds....
no matter how many toys surround him!
He looks like he could be in the 80's band
Flock Of Seagulls with this 'do, the
rosy red cheeks are from teething, and he is
barefoot because he must feel he needs better
grip and he WILL NOT leave his socks on!!
But how do I get past his blue eyes?
...he can do no wrong.

Superbowl Sunday

February 4, 2007
Well, Hayden's first Superbowl has come and gone!
Hayden has been far too busy to nap lately,
so when he finally fell asleep, he crashed HARD!
So, Mommy watched the commercials
while Hayden had a power nap....
and drooled on my chest a little!

My happy little boy.....

February 2, 2007
Ahhhh, what a life!
Hayden has his 3rd tooth, and the 4th is on its way!!
The two on the bottom are tiny compared to
this new chomper on top. But in spite of
his teething woes, he continues to be a pretty
happy little guy, and is becoming a lot of fun.
I NOW understand what busy is....
he can pull himself up on everything,
and he is quickly learning what "no" means!!

Whoa.....Look At That Hair!!

January 24, 2007
Hayden looks more like a little boy every day.....
and I have to remind myself
that he's still a baby!!
We put mousse in his hair in an attempt
to tame the "mad scientist" look,
but it just made his hair
higher and more wild!!
And Mommy is a bit afraid to try and cut it
herself, so baby's 1st haircut may be coming soon!

Can You Believe I'm 9 months old?!

January 20, 2007
I'm 9 months old today.....
and I'm so excited!
Check out my toothy, and slightly devilish, little grin...
I really look like my Mommy
when she smiles and
scrunches up her nose!!

Real Men Brush....

January 15, 2007
In spite of teething, and a horrible cold
Hayden still "brushes" his teeth...
all 2 and 1/2 of them!!
...And what real man doesn't
also wear army fatigues??!!

What a Stinker!!

January 12, 2007
What a sweet face....so innocent....biting his
top lip as if to say "mom, I love you and
I'm cute and I didn't do it!!"
He's crawling everywhere and now he's
trying to pull himself up on furniture too.
I just caught him thinking about
trying to go up the stairs!!
