This is what we have been up to...

Hayden has been sick with an ear infection and upper respiratory infection. He is doing much better these days and as always is such a good boy. He has been doing so many new things lately, it is hard to keep track of when he does what. He knows where his belly button, ears, eyes and nose are and will point to his or ours whenever we ask. When you ask him "what does a doggy say", he will say, "woof, woof". When you say "touchdown" he will raise his arms! Hey, he doesn't know it isn't football season yet!
He has also become quite the walker in the last few days. For a while now he has been letting go and walking a few steps, but lately he will walk all over the place. It is so fun to watch. He continues to eat pretty good, his new loves are tilapia, roasted red peppers, garlic bread and edamame. He is doing really well feeding himself and drinking from his sippy...that is until you put milk in it! He looks at you like you are crazy if you put milk in anything other than a bottle. Needless to say, we are still working on kicking the bottle!
We have gotten more snow this "spring" than we did all winter. Paul and I are over it, but Hayden loves to play in it.

Hayden also discovered how fun it is to climb into the warming drawer. Luckily, I mostly use it for storage! How can you get upset with that little face!




Late post: Paul and I went to D Bar about a month ago. It is owned by Keegan Gerhard, from the Foodnetwork. It was so cool, and the food was amazing. It is mostly desserts, but of course Paul had to try some "real food" as well.


We shared the Mac and Cheese, which is the best I have ever had, and the Kobe beef sliders with parmesan fries.
They are best known for there "Cake and a Shake", so naturally that is what we had! It was almost too pretty to eat!
When we went to the restaurant we knew that Keegan Gerhard owned it, but we never thought he would be there. Well, he was! He was there busing tables and talking to everybody, we even got to sit at the "dessert bar" and watch him make desserts. This picture is a little blurry, but I felt silly taking it so I had to hurry.

Hey, Hayden just turned one, so don't be too hard on yourself about the bottle, but you will just have to insist he takes milk from a cup or he won't ever give it up! Start during the day (not first or last bottles) and tell him it's the only way he's gonna get a drink. He will not at first, but he will take it later or the next day. Be sure not change the temperature of the milk just because it's in the cup, though. One change at a time!

I am so glad you are feeling better. You poor things! I can't wait to see him walking! And I love that since it snowed, there is a use for the pilot snow suit :)

Sorry to hear Hayden got so sick!!! I don't like hearing that. I'm glad to hear he is getting better - it feels like forever since we talked last - how are you?? I can't wait to get the boys together to see them walk next to each other - it's the cutest thing!!

The food at that resturant looks downright illegal. I won't be able to get the shake & cake out of my mind. Glad you get to enjoy so many things.
