Happy Birthday Hayden!!!!!

Today is our sweet boy's 1st Birthday! Here are just a few pics from his party. I'll post more soon. Happy Birthday Hayden! We love you!!!!

Hayden's First Easter

It's taken me all week, but here are some pictures from Easter weekend. Eric and his girlfriend, Kelsey, came in town for the weekend. Hayden hadn't seen Eric since Christmas, and he was all smiles once he saw him. On Saturday night, we had dinner together at my parents' house and watched Hayden hunt for his Easter eggs. Actually, "hunt" might not be the word. Hayden would see one, crawl to it, and try to eat it until we showed him another. It was still a lot of fun. Before church on Sunday morning, we got Hayden up to see what the Easter Bunny had left for him. In his basket, he found a book, a Baby Einstein DVD, and a dancing chick that plays "Chicken Dance." His favorite is the dancing chick, which he follows around, giggling like crazy!

Visiting the Easter Bunny

I'm a little late posting these pics, but I had to share Hayden's picture with the Easter Bunny from a few weeks ago. Hayden wasn't scared of the Easter Bunny at all, he just wanted to check him (or her?) out. Next year, he might be more apprehensive. While we were at the mall, we also let Hayden check out the play area since there were only a few kids there. He LOVED it! He had so much fun crawling, climbing, and cruising. Unfortunately, it is usually pretty crowded so we'll have to try to go again when it's not as busy.

I hope everyone had a great Easter! I'll get some pictures from our Easter weekend posted soon.

Riding the Rhino

A few weeks ago, we went to visit Nanny and Pawpaw. Hayden got to take his first ride on Pawpaw's Rhino. He loved exploring outside and his face was in serious study mode as he took everything in. We couldn't get him to smile because he was so focused on figuring everything out. Hayden got to hang out with his cousins Cody and Summer, and he got to visit Uncle Joey and Great-Granny Paul, too.

11 Months

I'm so glad I can finally add a post to our blog! We had computer problems last week and were without the Internet until yesterday. Last Thursday Hayden was 11 months, so here are some new pictures of him. I can't believe he'll be a year old in just a few weeks! Time has flown! We have more pictures to share from the past few weeks, so hopefully I'll add another post or two tomorrow.
