4th of July

This 4th of July was a little busier than our average 4th of July...it was Max's 4th birthday, Hayden's first Independence day and we moved into our house!

Please keep praying that the bank accepts our offer for the short sale, our loan was approved so we only have one more hurdle to go.

Just an average Saturday morning...

Hayden likes to wear his robe and slippers on Saturday mornings while he enjoys his milk and newspaper...

On the 4 Wheeler with Papa

Hayden was a little scared of the noise at first, but then he liked sitting up there with his Papa.

Splash Party

Hayden and I went to a splash party at The Guibord's yesterday. He loved being in the kiddie pool for the first time. It will be so fun to put him in the big pool soon. Here is some of the fun:He was fascinated by his hand in the water, he kept moving his fingers and staring at it...and of course then putting it in his mouth!
His mouth is where all of the toys ended up!

Hayden is 4 months old!

I cannot believe we have a four month old! Time has just flown by. He is more precious (and fat) everyday! I love to watch his little personality come out. At his checkup he was 16 pounds, 1 ounce, he has gained exactly 8 pounds since birth. He was also 26 inches long, putting him in the 75 percentile for height and weight. He is wearing almost all 6-9 months clothes! He is a big boy, but I do have to say this picture makes him look bigger than he actually is.

My new jumper

Nona and Papa got this for Hayden for one of our shower gifts. We forgot about it because all of our stuff is in their basement. We got it out this week and it is Hayden's new favorite thing. He has figured out that when he jumps it makes the lights and music turn on. He likes to spin himself around in the seat, but the other toys that don't light up or make noise don't really keep his attention too long.


(Side note: I never thought I would be one of those parents that keeps a bib on their kid all day long, but with the constant drool lately it has started to become a must! Now I know why people do it I guess!)

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day Paul! You are such a great dad, thank you for all you do for Hayden and I (and Max). We love you and appreciate you. Thank you for being such a godly man.
It is so fun to watch you with Hayden, he loves you so much.
To celebrate Paul and my dad we went to the Grand Lux Cafe after church on Sunday. We had a great time, and enjoyed some yummy food. After lunch we celebrated with Ray and Donna at Cold Stone, it was a great day.

My first bubble bath

Hayden was sick last week, we all were actually, but this bubble bath seemed to make him feel a little better. Looking at these pictures you would never know he didn't feel good, he is such a good boy.

I love my Bumbo seat



Just because...

...he is so cute!

Mother's Day

My first Mother's day was great. We celebrated with our mothers at different times and on Sunday we celebrated our best friend's youngest son's dedication. The best part was spending some quality time with my two guys. Paul took Hayden and I to dinner at the Grand Lux Cafe, which brought back memories of our trip to Chicago. All in all, it was a great day! With a little help, Hayden signed my card! Paul got me "With Affection" to add to my Kim Lawrence collection. I love it!

We finally got a picture of the new babies! Sarah and Carson (Austin where are you?), Dani and Quinn and Me and Hayden. What adorable little guys!

SO behind on blogging!

At this point I have decided there is not enough time in my day to go back and try to blog the last 3 months of Hayden's life. I have been keeping up on his milestones and special moments in his baby book, so not to fear, I have kept track of things, just not on the blog! So in an attempt to redeem myself with those of you that don't get to see him on a regular basis, here is a smattering of the cutest baby I know. Enjoy! The first picture is Hayden when he was 5 days old, and in the same outfit at 5 weeks old, he is growing so fast!
Hayden's first bath at home at four days old.
Hayden and Daddy enjoying some time together before we moved back to Colorado. He was only 8 days old in this picture and he was so alert.

The first time in his new swing at two weeks old. He was so small!
At home after his three week check up. He weighed 9 lbs. 10 oz. and was 22 inches long. He had grown two inches and gained 1 lb. 9 oz. since birth! He likes his milk!
Daddy giving Hayden his first bottle. Now he goes from breast to bottle without caring at all. I guess as long as he gets his milk he doesn't care what the source is! He looks so skinny in this picture, now he has rolls on his arms and his legs are a little chunkier!
Paul and I really think Hayden looks like my Dad. He is wearing his "Grandpa" outfit in this picture, a polo shirt and jeans. Some people say we think he looks like my Dad because he is fat and bald, but I think it is because they are both so handsome! We love you Dad!
Smiling at his fishes on his play mat.
I love it when he stretches!
Smiling at Mommy.
Like Father like Son, Hayden sleeps just like Paul.
He loves to look at this rainforest toy, he even "sings" along to the music.
My mom holding Hayden after his shots. He didn't feel good at all, but after 24 hours he was back to his healthy smiling self.
Wearing my puppy dog shirt from Auntie Kim in California.
All ready for the cold in his doggie mittens and his winter hat, we won't mention that it was April!
Hayden and Mommy.
This is the latest, Hayden at 11 weeks. I might be biased but I think he is the most handsome guy. I promise I will do a better job of keeping up on the blogging from here on out. Soon I will post pictures of Hayden's dedication on May 4th.
