Play Time

Hayden had a play date with her little "boyfriend" Julian and her "girlfriend" Hailey. Hayden & Julian are exactly 1 week apart so it was quite amusing watching the two of them interact. Hailey is 10 weeks and so cute and tiny still. It's crazy how much they change from 10 weeks to 10 months!

It was nice to watch the kiddos play and to have the opportunity for some "Mommy Chat" as well. And I'm sure the guys enjoyed hanging out by the grill and talking about whatever it is guys talk about. We know Hayden had a blast with all of the company. We thank you all for coming and hope to do it again soon.

Twilight Baby

When Hayden's top teeth started to come in I noticed that they seemed incredibly far apart for her top two teeth. As they came in further, I began to realize that they most definitely were not her top middle teeth, but her eye teeth. She looks like a little vampire baby & we LOVE it. It cracks us up when she sticks her tongue out (between the 2 teeth). It absolutely hilarious!! I've been trying to get a good shot so I could share it with you all.  Pictures, in general are getting trickier now that she's moving SO fast! I think these turned out pretty good, though:

  

Our little Vamp is getting steady on her feet, too. We can let her hands go when she's standing and if she's distracted enough, she'll stand for a good 5-10 seconds on her own. It's amazing how EXCITING those few seconds can become! We have yet to get good video of it, but it will come soon enough. She's crawling around the house like crazy now. She follows us from room to room. We're learning day-by-day what child proofing we may have overlooked. We're having a ton of fun watching her explore and understand the world around her.

Iphone obsessed already...

Rock Star in the making

Go, Baby, Go!

Our baby girl is crawling! She's been pulling herself up on things for a while and is getting pretty steady on her feet so we were almost thinking that she might just walk BEFORE she crawled. I've come to the conclusion that she's known how to crawl for a while, but wanted to be sure she was gonna have it mastered before she showed us her skill.  Cause now that she's started, there's NO stoppin' her! Fortunately, Chris and I were BOTH at home to see her crawl for the first time.  Seeing how we're both working parents, we're always a little worried that Hayden's firsts will be seen by her daycare provider and not us. We can't help but wonder if we'd even WANT daycare to tell us if they saw Hayden walk/crawl for the first time. Kinda like, if WE didn't see it, it hasn't REALLY happended, yet. But we saw it FIRST! We are proud of our little Hayden Marie! Time to get our runnin' shoes on!

Other breaking news:  Hayden's got 4 teeth now! I noticed the top 2 had come through last Friday. It's been a big week for Hayden. She's growing up so fast. Sigh....
