WALKING

Oh my goodness, tonight was the night.  This last week Hayden took about 3 steps but that was it no more.  Well tonight we went trick or treating and then came home, gave him a little treat, he was so excited that he let go of the couch and walked to my mom on the other couch! he has been letting go of furniture and just taking off.  So I decided to see if I could get it on video!  Here it is but you will just have to turn your head sideways!  I can't believe my 10 month old is WALKING.  He is definitely going to be a handful!  He wants to go REALLY fast but gets ahead of himself and falls over.  He is a crazy little boy. We sure love you Hayden Bug, what a GREAT 1st Halloween.

Patty Cake

Well yes it's true my little boy is growing up.. sigh.  He is almost walking and will be 10 months old this upcoming friday.  He can stand on his own with no support and as of today took 3 steps!  Way to go little man.  He can play patty cake and it's the most adorable thing in the world!  He knows what bye bye is, or at least when I say wave bye bye or hello he waves.  He is becoming a mommy's boy and has started to act more shy around strangers, although he still smiles and flirts with them. This is going to be his first halloween and I am very excited.  We went to the pumpkin patch the other day and he just loved the pumpkins.  They gave us a free one for Hayd and he thought it was the coolest thing ever.  (yes it was a mini pumpkin)  He currently does not take naps well anywhere but in his crib. He loves yogurt and anything he can find off the floor (i'm tempted to put all his food on the floor and let him eat it off there)  He hasn't been the best eater lately, well with fruits and veggies.  We have been feeding him what we eat instead of baby food and he isn't liking it.  I have started pureeing his fruits and veggies and experimenting with different spices.  So far for the most part it has been a success.  Beware of lots of pictures.

thinking about it...

ahh what the heck :D

ooh this is neat...diggin in

look what I found mom! hmm I wonder how it tastes (yes he attempted to eat it)

Emmett thinkin about what's inside the pumpkin

Standing ( he usually stands for a lot longer )

First Snowfall

Well it's true, it snowed yesterday and it was awesome!  I am so ready for this kind of weather to sit next to the fire wrapped up in a blanket with some hot chocolate.  I am also so excited to see what Hayden thinks of the snow!  I also love this season because it has a few of my favorite Holidays, Halloween, Christmas and now my baby's first birthday, HOORAY!  So many firsts are coming for little man and I can't wait!  Well when I saw it was snowing we put on Hayden's heavy jacket and hat and we went outside to feel the snow and take a picture!  He LOVED the snow, he had a huge smile on his face the entire time we were outside and he kept putting his hands out to feel the snowflakes and he would catch one and open and close his hand a few times till it melted so adorable!  He also kept looking around everywhere, he would look in front then hurry and turn around and get another huge grin and turn again and once again a huge grin and he kept looking up to see what was touching him!  It was so much fun the 5 min we were outside.  I also put his hands in the snowfall that had landed on the bushes he loved it!  So much fun we had a blast!  Also yesterday I put elmo on for him for some quiet time and I set him in his car seat and tilted it upright and he just sat there lounged with arms folded and watched the entire elmo!  How did I get such a good baby? 

He wanted to keep looking at it, so we looked through the window!

Watching Elmo, So Relaxed

Good Morning

So, hayden ate spaghetti for the first time on conference sunday and he LOVED it!  He was a huge mess and it was adorable.  He ate two little plate fulls and loved every bit of it!  We have started feeding him mostly people food now instead of the nasty baby food and he loves most all the food we feed him.  We have had a little trouble getting him to like different fruits but i'm thinking it's because they have a way different texture than baby food fruits.  Also for the first time same day he sucked out of a straw hooray! He still is in love with his baba though, and still gets super excited when he sees it!  We bought hayden some halloween jammies and I just think they are the cutest so naturally we had to take a picture.  Yes they do glow in the dark and it is so awesome!  We love halloween time.  Also the hat that he is wearing I saw at wal mart yesterday and it was freezing outside so I just had to buy it because it was so dang cute!  And yes to answer all the questions... he does keep it on most of the time, I think he forgets it is on after a minute and just lets it be and it is so adorable! 

Bear Crawl

This is the new BEAR CRAWL, it's so much faster!

Hayd has started dancing and it is so cute!  When he hears music he bobs the head and bounces up and down!

We sure love this crazy!

9 Months

Here we are another month has come and gone again.  Hayden is getting to such a fun age.  He learned so much this month and is still just as sweet as ever.  He has started clapping his hands and loves it!  He can now wave bye bye and will wave at anyone he sees.  He has started bear crawling (on hands and feet instead of knees)  Loves to play with toys and is a human vaccume.  He loves to pull open drawers and cupboards.  He likes to play the game, ( 52 toy pick up where he drops the toy 52 times and you pick it up each and every time.)  He loves popsicles, although they get everywhere! He can now copy things that you do.  He has been putting the phone up to his ear, and when you clap he claps, when you wave he will wave.  He follows really well, until he gets distracted.  We sure love our little Hayden Bug

yummy popsicle (9 month birthday treat) He loved every bit of it

Clapping He was so excited that it made sound when he clapped his hands

Eating a sucker, He was screaming so I gave him a sucker to see what he would do with it and he LOVED it.  I thought he would just lick it but NO the whole thing went into the mouth! 

Funny

They went on like this for about 5 minutes.
