Reading with Papa

Bath time

Hayden loves his bath time! He kicks and splashes and even likes to lay on his back and float with Daddy! He is also a great speller! :)

The Perfect Landing

We finally used our gift certificate to The Perfect Landing and went to breakfast this weekend. Hayden wore his bomber jacket, it was so cute! He really liked looking at all of the airplanes. When I point them out in the sky I don't think he knows what he is looking at so it was fun to see them up close. Paul reminesced about his flying days and can't wait for Hayden to be his co-pilot someday.

Mischief

We have a fake Ficus tree in our family room and Hayden thinks it is a toy. He always makes his way right over to it as soon as we are out of sight. The other night I was making dinner and he was playing in the family room and it was awfully quiet so I peeked over to see what he was doing and he was playing in the moss in the pot of the tree. He had it everywhere! This was like 5 minutes before friends were arriving so we scrambled to clean him up and vacuum before they got there. After I checked to make sure none of it was in his mouth I had to get the camera. I guess we are learning already that if it is too quiet something is wrong!

Hayden is 8 months old!

We can hardly believe that 8 months have already gone by since Hayden was born. He is growing and changing so much everyday. Here is a little snapshot into what he's been up to this month: he started clapping his hands a couple of weeks ago, he gives "high fives", he continues to roll everywhere and gets up on his hands and knees and redirects himself, he stands holding on to the coffee table and us, and just this week he got FOUR new teeth, all on the top! He loves anything and everything we give him to eat and is getting very long and starting to lean out. He is wearing all 12 months clothes and even some 18 months clothes. We love watching him learn new things everyday and are so blessed to have such an amazingly healthy little boy!

Hayden's little personality comes out more and more each day and he is so funny and getting quite sneaky! The other day he is was in his highchair while I was making his lunch and I turned around and he had a placement on his tray and was chewing on it! He will grab anything and everything that is even remotely in his reach. He makes us laugh all the time!
