13 Months old today!

May 20, 2007
Okay...so there has never been a debate
about the fact Hayden looks like his daddy.
But, I think he is really starting to
have some of mommy's expressions too!!
He has taken 2 steps on his own, so we
think walking will be happening very soon.
He now loves bananas, giving the best hugs EVER,
his sippy cup, showing off his dance moves, and
doing repeated time-trials up and down the stairs!
He loves to be outside, and our patio screen door
is getting a work out with him coming in
and going out....over and over again!!
I am loving his growing independance, but the
stubborn nature must be from daddy!

Happy Mother's Day!

May 13th, 2007
My second Mother's Day was great!
Hayden slept until 8:30 AM (which I prayed for the night before!!),
Daddy made a nice breakfast, I got fabulous prezzies from
both of my boys, and we went shopping for flowers for
Mommy's pots and flower beds while enjoying a
yummy Starbucks coffee!!
We met up with some other special mommies too.....
Oma and Auntie Tessa!
The only other thing that would have made
the day even more perfect,
would have been
seeing my mom and my sister.
I missed them today!

My Little Angel

May 7, 2007
Should Hayden have a halo over
his head, or what?!
....And doesn't he look sporty
in his shorts and sandals?!
We are VERY ready for Summer!!

Hayden Turns One!!

April 20, 2007
Hayden had a big birthday celebration,
and we had so much fun!!
He loved the balloons....and being
the center of attention!

Mommy & Daddy made the
Dora the Explorer cake....and some
extra cupcakes for people who didn't want
Hayden's crumbs!!

Hayden loved ALL of his prezzies,
but it was tough to keep his
attention.....each time he got something
new, he wanted to play with it!!

The sweet little Birthday Boy!

Hayden got a Pimp My Ride t-shirt
from Uncle Nick & Auntie Keri....
he'll look so cute riding around in his
Cozy Coupe or Radio Flyer wagon
sporting such a fun shirt!

Snuggle time & juice time...
it was a very busy day but Hayden
was an angel.
Happy Birthday Little Man!!

Haircut #3!!

April 15, 2007
We buzzed all of Hayden's hair off today....
and he looks SO CUTE!!
This is haircut #3 because his hair
is growing like crazy....don't have to look
farther than Mommy or Daddy to
figure out why!
Besides.... a mullet doesn't work for you
when you look this cute in
a Flames jersey!!

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!
