Brothers

Max has been really warming up to Hayden lately. He gives Hayden kisses all the time and is so interested in whatever he is doing. Hayden really likes to pet him and grab his hair, but I am sure the gentleness will come!

Playdate

Hayden had some of his buddies over this week, Austin and Carson Guibord. They are so much fun and it was so cute to see all of them playing together. Thanks for coming over guys!What? We're not doing anything! (they look so guilty!)

Back to school...again

Paul started a master's program at Colorado Christian University this week. He is studying business and will graduate with his MBA in 2010. We are excited for this new adventure and are anxious to see what God does in his life during the next 2 years.

A little excitement

So last weekend there was a funnel cloud VERY close to our house. While Hayden and I were in the basement for safety, Paul was on the porch filming!

My three boys

Aren't they handsome?

Hayden's Nursery

I have had many requests to post pictures of Hayden's nursery. I had so much fun doing it, and it was nice to finally have a space for just him. I really like how it turned out. We love the quilt that Nona made for Hayden, now we can look at it all the time!

You can't really see the things on the shelves but they have some frames I made for his polka dots theme, my teddy bear from my childhood and some other fun keepsakes. On his dresser are the bookends that I made of his initials, HJK.

This shelf has some of the picture frames I painted for his room, and of course...his first monkey.

I also painted the airplanes and they have pegs on them so you can hang things from them, like hats, coats, etc.

What?! Can't you do that??

It is almost impossible to change Hayden's diaper these days. Not because he wants to rollover all the time, being on the changing table discourages him from doing that too much, but because he won't get his toes out of his mouth! I am not complaining though, he is too cute!

Hayden and Josiah

Our friends Tommy and Michelle have a little boy that is just 5 days younger than Hayden, and it is so fun to see them "play" together. This is a picture of them at 3 weeks old, they have changed so much!

Hayden is 6 months!

Our big boy is halfway to his first birthday! At his appointment he was 18 lbs. and 10 oz. and 27 inches long. He long passed doubling his birth weight! He is developing right on track and getting bigger everyday. He is officially in his big boy car seat too! His feet were squished up against the back seat of the car so we made the switch. We still have a couple of pounds left in our infant seat but frankly we were getting sick of carrying him around in that thing! He is doing really well eating his solid foods, and still enjoys his milk. He is up on his arms and knees but no crawling yet, but he manages to roll himself where ever he wants to go. He is still sleeping great, 10 or more hours a night! He has the best little personality and temperament, he rarely fusses or complains about much. We are so blessed to have such an amazing little boy!

Hayden's Blankie

So I stopped giving Hayden his blankie at night and during nap time because he does this...I had it laying over the edge of the crib, like usual, but today he decided to get it for himself. I guess he really likes his blankie.

Carrots!

So I guess this is what Hayden thinks of his carrots. I'd like to think that he is saying, "Gee Mom, thanks for making organic pureed carrots just for me!"

Sitting UP!

Hayden has started to sit up by himself, unsupported! He is so cute, but now you can't get him to lean back AT ALL. In the bathtub he insists on sitting up, as well as in his stroller and you can forget about cuddling, unlesss he is really really tired. He is such a big boy!
