Oh my stars. Hayden is crawling. Well, let me be honest. That's a bit of an over statement. He doesn't actually crawl in the conventional sense. No, my little creative baby does a hop, skip, leap. It looks cute and tiring all at the same time. It does, however, get him places and it makes him a very happy little man. Now when the toy elephant with the red bird on it's back and wheels for legs takes off across the living room play mat with it's zebra, hippo, and giraffe in tow, he flashes a smile that says, "Ah ha, elephant. I shall follow you into your musical jungle and bring with me my slobber stained hands to stop you in your tracks." (No elaboration there...)
The only down fall to his newly found frog abilities is that I find myself about 70% 99.9% of the time following him in his little trail of terror. And oh the places he will go.
Getting into presents that are *shock* not for him...

or finding mommy's personal belonging for her under the couch

Or deciding that he just HAD to watch the newest episode of Glee

Or running off to play peek-a-boo
Yes, my little adventurous man is into everything. And as tired as I am running around all day trying to keep up.... keep exploring little man. You have the whole world at your fingertips.
But I must say, nothing...absolutely nothing is better than the fact that he loves to chase the cat.
And now I present to you...the stand off
*Ooohhh whooo ow whooo ooow*
*Wha wha wha*
(tumble weed rolls)
*Oooohh whooo ow whooo ooow*
*wha wha WHAAA*
It's a western showdown y'all...
(100 bonus points to the person who understood that and is currently humming it in their head)

Maybe I should have titled this the rear end post, since that is apparently all you see. So here you go, his sweet face

Peas, love and carrots. Until we blog again.
