Videos!!

I know what you're thinking. How can you leave me this long without a Hayden update? It's sad I know, but we have been busy! Regardless, Hayden is still growing so fast and his little social life is getting full. We dart here and there and play all day long. I am loving this new phase in his life. 6 months is an amazing time. Being a mommy is so fulfilling and I just love hanging out with my little man! Here's a few videos of Hayden in the past couple of days.

Hayden thinks his Uncle James is hilarious!

We promise a real update soon! But for now, nap time is over and we must get back to playtime!

Gosh, we are on the count down to half a year. I don't think anybody cares about this milestone as much as I do. Maybe it's just a sentimental mommy thing, I'm not sure. But there's just something magical about half a year. So much has happened already and I think about all the things that will happen in the next 6 months. In another week he start solids. He will be sitting up all by himself soon. He will attempt to form his first words. (Momma naturally..) He will begin to crawl. Then he will sprout legs and walk straight over to his big wheel and drive away from me... *sigh*

It's bitter sweet thinking of all the things he will accomplish before he is one. I am ready for him to be an independent little infant, but also trying to cherish all the remaining baby moments. So here is to remembering the first 6 months and anticipating the next 6. Can't wait to watch my little man grow!


And as always, a few photos:


There are just some days we shouldn't get out of bed.

Playing is hard but someone's gotta do it..

Mid week musings

Hayden and I don't get a whole lot of opportunities for pictures together. I am normally the one behind the camera or avoiding the camera. I am going to attempt to rectify this situation, but let me tell you...trying to take a picture with a baby in your arms...system FAIL. So in my attempts to take pictures of us this week, I managed a few cute ones of Hayden. Not that it's hard, he's pretty cute in my completely unbiased opinion. Enjoy!

And some evening Daddy time!

5 1/2 months

Dear Hayden,

In 19 days, you will be 6 months. I asked you today how you felt about this, and you blew raspberries. I am going to assume that means you are ready for the second half of your first year. After you turn one, stop growing up so fast. Ok?

All my love,

Mommy

You mean I have to get back in my onsie?!?!

Opps, how did that get there?

5 Months

Here we are at 5 months! What a big boy Hayden is!! I can hardly believe that in a few short weeks, we will celebrate his half birthday. YAY! I have scheduled for his pictures to be taken at 6 months and I am super excited about getting those done. What a fun day that will be! He is developing so fast these days I can hardly believe it. He is no longer the little newborn. He plays and deliberately reaches for things. He laughs and smiles when you talk to him. He even tries to talk back telling you exactly how he sees the situation. What a fun little man he is becoming. Here are some pictures.

Ohhhhh nap time!

Almost 5 months!

A few pictures until I can get a good update!

So fresh and so clean!

And a Happy New Year!

Well, the New Year has started off amazing. We had a wonderful Christmas, Hayden got lots of goodies from Santa, and Adam and I got engaged! What an amazing couple of days it has been!!! We are in Colorado this week enjoying a ski trip with 6 friends to Steamboat and Hayden is staying with his Grandma and Uncle Wesley (who is in town for a few weeks). I know he is in good hands, but it is day 1 and I am missing him so much already! Today my brother has been sending me pictures to comfort me and I had to share one with the Haybaby fans. Hope you all are having an amazing start to the New Year!

My sweet boy enjoying time in Houston! I miss you baby boy!

Thank you to my mom and brother for taking care of Hayden while we are gone. Adam and I have been looking forward to this trip for a while now. We will enjoy ourselves and are looking forward to seeing our little man at the end of the week!
