2 Years

This past week we celebrated our 2 year anniversary.  Tyler took me to P.F. Changs and then we went and saw I am Number Four.  It was a great night.  We have had so much happen in 2 years it's amazing.  I love tyler so much and I couldn't ever imagine life without him.  He is my best friend, he is an amazing father and wonderful husband.  I love you Ty. 

Blessing

Today was Hayden's Blessing.  What an amazing day, celebrated with lots of family!  I'm so grateful that Tyler holds the Priesthood so that he was able to bless our sweet Hayden today.   He did such an amazing job, the blessing couldn't have been more perfect.  He sure is our sweet little angel sent from Heaven.  He brings so much LOVE, JOY, and HAPPINESS into our home it's unbelievable.  It is so precious to see Ty with Hayden, he loves him so much and is so protective of him and it's adorable, what a GREAT daddy he is.  I knew that when I met Tyler he was going to be an amazing father someday.  I couldn't have asked for a better family.  I love our new little family and it is so much fun.  We are so blessed to have so much family that  loves and cares about us, thank you so much for all of your love and support.  It was a neat little surprise Tylers mom was able to come in from San Diego for the blessing.  She was only here for a little less than 48 hours but it sure meant a lot to have her here, and we are so glad that she was able to see Hayden for the first time since he was born. 
                Hayden:  You have so many people in your life that love and care about you more than anything else.  You have parents who would do anything just to make sure that you are alright and taken care of.  We couldn't have asked for a more perfect little boy.  You are truely the LIGHT of our lives.  You have already been such a blessing to us.  You couldn't have come at a more perfect time.  You have the most adorable smile in the world, not to mention the BIGGEST.  Thank you for coming to our family.  We love you so much. 
                       With lots of LOVE, Mommy and Daddy

New Things

Hayden is 2 months old.  He is just growing like crazy.  Here he is at 2 months, he does still have hair like he did when he was born it has lightened quite a bit, and in this picture it is blending in with the couch so he looks bald. 

New things this month:

• He likes to "pray" as you can see in this picture, this is how we find his hands almost all day every day. Once they reach this position they make their way into his mouth.
• He loves to kick his legs out straight, while he is eating, bathing,laying on the floor and especially when he is being burped. 
• He still hates being interrupted from eating to be burped, he screams at me and kicks his legs straight, so he doesn't have to sit.
• He loves talking to people
• He stares INTENTLY while you talk to him
• He loves laying on the floor mat and playing with the dangling toys
• He loves his mobile that hangs above his crib, huge smiles everytime it gets turned on!
• He laughs in his sleep
• I believe he has nightmares, he occasionally wakes up for no reason screaming bloody murder
• He smiles constantly
• He loves mornings
• He wakes up 1-2 times a night depending on when he goes to sleep
• He loves bathtime, that is where we go when he cries and we can't get him to calm down, it always works.
• He follows people out of the room with his eyes

2 months

We went to Haydens 2 month check today and he is doing great.  Ha is currently 10 lbs 13 oz, 23 1/4 in long.  He is in the 40% for weight and 75% for length and head.  He also got his first 3 shots and an oral immunization today.  He was such a trooper he only cried for about 5 seconds until I picked him up then he stopped crying.  Love my little man and can't believe how tough he is. 

It's Thomas!

His war wounds, so sad. 

Valentine's Day

My parents had a valentines dinner party for our whole family and it was so much fun!! We all got great gifts and we played Bingo, and another game where you roll the dice and if you get a certain number or doubles you get to open a present.  All the presents in the middle were socks!  We played this game at Christmas too, so now we all Valentines' and Christmas socks.   

Whose feet are who?

Big Boy

Hayden is getting so big I can't hardly believe it. 

First time sleeping in his big boy bed.  He looks so small in this huge bed.

Tummy Time...He does really good at lifting his head up during tummy time. 

He stays happy for about 5 min then starts to not like it so much.  He is

getting so strong it's so fun.

Ignore my horrible voice...Hayden is such a happy little boy!

He is just so content and alert.  We just love him so much!
