Hayden 6 months old

 Hayden turned 6 months old on April 10. Here is the photo shoot I did with him. {sorry if some of the images are a little pixelly. I have a really bad headache from switching Craftaholics Anonymous over to Wordpress this weekend. ugh.}

Hayden weighed 15 pounds at his 6 month appt. He was in the 60% percentile in height and 15% for weight. So yes, another tall skinny kid.

 He's getting more hair. It's coming in with a touch of brown, but mostly blond.

He loves discovering things and gets distracted really easy.

 

 Fingers are yummy.

 Gavin helping me take pictures of Hayden. Such a helper as you will see in a second. {notice how long his hair was! I cut it like the next day}

 See? Gavin is very helpful! Hayden loves to interact with Gavin. Its fun to see them have fun together! Although Gavin can be a little rough with Hayden.

Hayden 5 months

 Hayden is now 5 months and is a rolling machine! He never stays on his tummy for than 2 seconds before rolling over. His eyes are really blue as you can see. {he scratched his face right before this picture little stinker}

 cute little baby that loves the babble and watch his big brother Gavin.

 He is always to fascinated with whatever Gavin is doing. It's really cute.

 Gavin reading to Hayden. Such a good big brother.You can see Hayden is trying to roll over in this pic.

Gavin likes to pull faces at Hayden and stick his tongue out at him. Hayden thinks it is hilarious. boys.

• Hayden weighs a 14 pounds now 
• is sleeping like 4-5 hours at night. He goes to bed right after Gavin, about 9pm. Then wakes up between 1-2am and then again at either 4am or 6am. Sometimes both. So I'm still not getting much sleep!
• Hayden is eating rice cereal once a day {if i remember!}
• loves bouncing! whether he's in his jumper or being held, he's constantly bouncing.
• he's getting really good at grabbing things with his fingers. he's got quite the grasp.
• loves grab his toes when he's on his back
• still doesn't spit up much, which is nice.

on another note, our house went under contract last night. as long as the inspection goes well, we will be closing June 10. Which is about 3 months away.

Hayden 3-4 months,

Sorry for not posting on here forever. I know its almost been a month, but wow. Life has been busy! Gavin has been potty training for a little over a month now and Hayden is growing like crazy and got a stomach bug and not sleeping very well. So life has been rather insane! But anyways, here's a huge long update with lots of pictures.

This is Hayden at 3 months old. Cute smiley little guy! He was in the 25th percentile in weight, height, and head circumference.

The boys love taking baths together. Hayden gets one every night, Gavin wishes he got one every night! Gavin loves to "help" me give Hayden baths. Tonight Gavin took a wet wash cloth and put it on my back while I was washing Hayden.

my wet, but clean Hayden

Hayden is now a supported sitter and loves his bumbo. and he is so cute sitting in it!

such a cute little guy!!

I think this was taken about a month ago or so. Davis and Gavin played with this box for quite awhile!

Hayden at 4 months and growing so big! He is such a happy, smiley baby. We love our Hayden! He loves his jumper and is content in it for 15 minutes at a time. Which is helpful while I'm helping Gavin go potty or doing laundry. Hayden is in the 25th percentile still in weight and head circumference, but is now in the 50th percentile in height. So starting to favor the long and lean look.

Isn't he just so cute?! I absolutely love this picture!

This is a candid shot of Gavin. He looks just like Davis! Gavin got his last immunization when we went in for Hayden's 4 month appt. AND HE DIDN'T EVEN CRY when he got the shot!! yeah, that's my tough little man!

This was taken on Sunday, Feb. 20 when we gave Hayden his first taste of cereal. He still has the reflex to push it out with his tongue, so I don't think he's quite ready. But we'll keep trying occasionally.  He's getting over a stomach bug that gave him diarrhea and made him wake up like 5 times a night. ugh. He's still not sleeping the 6-7 straight hours he was before he got the stomach bug almost 3 weeks ago, but we're getting there. 

This last weekend, we had 4 showings. So fingers crossed the spring market will help us sell our home and move out to Suffolk. Thanks to everyone for your prayers! Hopefully one of these days they will get answered.

pigs in a blanket

We made pigs in a blanket not too long ago for the first time. Gavin was such a great helper! I turned around for a couple mins and turn around to find this.

He sampled each of the hot dogs! lol
Such a fun memory!

tummy time

I think I've mentioned before that tummy time is a family affair here. Gavin loves to show Hayden how it is done. And makes me get on my tummy too. {then he jumps on me :)

this makes me laugh!

So cute!
*Hayden is 3 months old in this pics*

Christmas 2010

Sadly I am just getting around to this post! A month after Christmas. oops. Anyways, Christmas Eve, we made sugar cookies and Gavin had tons of fun helping out.

Rolling out the dough.

His favorite part, decorating! {and sampling}

Gavin loves sprinkles!

Hayden wearing his candy cane pants from Davis's co-workers.

Love Daddy and son photos!

Christmas Day

This is what Santa brought for Gavin. Gavin is obsessed with fans and so this helicopter was very well loved!

Did I mention Gavin loves fans?!

This is Stewart the dog.

Hayden in his stocking stuffer from Santa. Love this sweater onesie! All the excitement wore this lil guy out!

It started snowing Christmas afternoon so Davis and Gavin had fun playing in it!

Now here are my attempts to take Christmas Day pics of my boys. You decide how well it went....

{note we were bribing Gavin with M&M's during this.}

I don't know if this was on Christmas day, but it was close to Christmas. Just a cute photo of Gav man.

a quick update

 

i've been super busy lately and haven't had time to post on here. and i'm in between computers right now. so here's a couple photos of Hayden to tide you over until i have more time and get my photos sorted on the computers. this were all taken end of December. So Hayden is 2.5 months in these.

 this is Hayden on New Year's Eve.

his peach fuzz on his head is coming in. still rather bald, but it is growing!

Right now at 3 months Hayden can push his chest off the floor, bats at things with his hands, tracks objects, makes fun sounds, and responds with coos and smiles when we play with him. He also can keep his body in a straight line when he "flies". He's a really strong baby! Davis says it is because of all the crying he did for awhile there. haha He's a lot happier and so fun to play with. Gavin has adjusted to having him around and loves showing Hayden his toys and doing tummy time with Hayden. Although lately its turned into "squish mommy" time. silly boy. 

Gavin has decided he wants to potty train. I was putting it off, but he apparently wants to do it. He's pooped in the potty for 3 days straight, peed multiple times each day. That's not to say we haven't had accidents, because we've had plenty! Potty Training is so messy! And I feel like I spend all day each day in the bathroom. If I'm not there, I'm feeding Hayden. So the boys are pretty hands on right now. Gavin is too smart for his own good. He knows shapes, colors, animals and their sounds, food, counting, and a few letters. His nursery leaders always comment about how smart he is and how chatty he is. 

Anyways, I'll post more later. its 12:10am and I need sleep. bye!
