The zoo and some cute pics

Our first visit to the zoo...
A bit of a gong show but some fun moments. (Teething won over the day!)
ahhhhhhhhh.

Marcus stands the same way! LOL So dainty



Baby on the move!

Walking Baby!

Ok... I only was able to catch the last few steps on tape but at least it's something!

He was so proud of himself, cheering and waving his arms.  He could hardly believe he was doing it as well,  walking slowing and looking down at his feet.  Must be so exciting to learn something new every day.

Cottage fun and Happy Birthday!!!!

The last few weeks have been busy.  A visit at the cottage, boat rides and Go Diego Go birthday extravaganzas! 

Happy Birthday little one... the pictures say everything. We love you xo...

Feeding Time!

Hayden and Lui enjoying a meal together... (lui is under the highchair, he's not stupid)

Bye Bye Baby

Well, six months pregs now and told to "tone down my carb and sugar intake" by my Dr. yesterday. My response? "You tone down your carb and sugar intake". Whatever, pregnancy is the new skinny.
I will take a picture like I did with Hayden to show the home stretch tummy.

Hayden is now off the baby food and on to "people food" as I call it. He pretty much will try anything but insists on feeding himself. Some of his favs
Yogurt
baby cookies
any fruit
toast with jam
pizza
pasta
cheese
*actually the list goes on and on.

He's also off of formula and on to homo milk.

Oma and Nono bought him a walker for his bday (an early bday gift) bc it seems he is just "steps" away from walking. Crawling is already old news.. now he shimmies along the furniture and pulls himself up on everything.

Bye bye baby, hello little boy.

P.S a month into daycare and he still hates his life when I drop him off. I of course have to keep a happy face for him as I'm walking out the door. So there I am smiling and waving as he screams and reaches for me. Will this come back to haunt me later when he's in therapy at 40 complaining about how his mother never acknowledged his grief? Jesus.... lol

Crawling Baby!

I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner! Hayden will crawl for food!

A trail of cherrios and he's all over the exercise...  

Another exciting milestone!!!

#2 has been sitting funny all day and unfortunately I can't bribe this one to move

with cherrios. I tried eating the cheerios but that just made me full.

It's bath time! must run...

Hayden Hayden Hayden

Now that we are rapidly approaching Hayden's first birthday I have really gotten to know him and his funny little personality.

Hayden:

Hates cheddar cheese

Is strong

Is a real little boy

Happy

Complains easy

Not a crier

Likes his own voice

Loves Lui

Giggles easy

Likes to impress

Doesn't like to be smothered

Likes to be smothered

Doesn't like it when I leave the room (or daddy)

Likes to be where the action is

Likes to eat

Likes to be changed

Loves to be naked

Loves the bath

Loves Elmo, in the night garden and baby einstein

Says Da da, Ma ma, and can make a number of funny noises

Likes walks in the stroller (used to hate it)

Gets bored in the car

Loves the jolly jumper

Fake coughs for attention

Throws his bottle when he's done with it (just like how i used to).

#2.... Well all the number two has taught me at 4 months prego is that he/she does not like

Pizza. I find this funny because this is usually my favorite food. #2 made me feel very sick (but no pukes), very sleepy and craves more sweets. I think #2 is a girl... a few more weeks and we will know!

We love you both! xox

Da-da-da-da

Hayden said "Dada" (well da-da-da-da-da)

but it was very distinct and was repeated right after we said it to him.

He's said it 100 times since, but randomly.  I'm not sure he has put two and two together

that Dada is actually just dada.

Now my question is, where is ma-ma-ma-ma-ma?

TT's

Poor little H has been "sick" this past week. I thought at first that he had caught a cold from one of his little friends, but I'm starting to think it's just a tooth coming in.  Poor guy... it's been a rough week for him.  I tried to get in there this morning to check around and I think I felt a tooth coming but Hayden won't let me get a good look! He can be a real pain sometimes! Stay tuned...

Razzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Hayden likes to make a razzzzzzzzz sound.  Today he decided to blow one right while I was feeding him rice cereal and it sprayed all over my face, eye lashes, bangs etc. pluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. Little boys......

Breaking News

We have a rolling baby. Back to front, front to back....hes practically running.

Things I don't want to forget at 4 months so just go with it:

Favorite Song: Frera Jackra

Eyes: Still blue

Hair: light brown

Bedtime: 6:30

Night feeding: 2:00am

Wake up: 6:00am

Naps every two hrs (average 4 naps a day)

Hayden is such a happy baby and he's getting really funny.  Marcus can really get him laughing but hes more sucky with me (maybe I'm just not funny).

The other day I could tell his little teeth were bothering him so I laid him down on the ground and started to dance for him.  Well..I don't know what happened but something came over me and it turned into a full on freaky combo Kevin Bacon/Flash Dance dance routine. I was running up and down the halls singing dancing while poor Hayden lied there watching me stunned! I did get his mind off of his teeth though....I think I dislocated my hip.

Friday night I headed to the cottage with my mom and 12 women for a girls weekend at the cottage. Would you believe I actually cried before I left!!! Hilarious! I was sad to leave my little guy. I was  gone less than 24hrs!  I knew Marcus had it all under control yet still had a really hard time going.  With that said, I'm glad I did go though.  My two guys needed some alone time without me watching.  

Thanksgiving and Milestone Mania!

Another Thanksgiving, another weekend of endless food!

Milestone! Hayden can now roll over on his own....mark it down people...mark..it...down.

Ok, I'll mark it down! I'm so proud!
