Doctor Apointment
Hayden went to his four month check up last week. All is well! He got 4 shots again. Didn't do so well this time though. He screamed and screamed and was fussy for several hours/ 2 days afterwards. I am so glad that is now over. He is still teething but nothing has broken through the gums yet. He weighs 16 pounds and 14 1/2 ounces (90%) and is 25 3/4 inches long (75%). Our little man just keeps growing!

Updates
So we have been so crazy busy that we have not been able to update. Some fun things going on in our life!
Hayden is so much fun! He has become more aware of mom and dad and smiles, giggles and cackles at us. We love interacting with him.
He ROLLED OVER! Hayden rolled from his back to his tummy! He has only done it once but we are waiting for more roll overs to come soon!!
HE IS TEETHING! I can't believe I am saying that already. His gums are getting really red, he is fussy, drooling, putting EVERYTHING in his mouth and having bowel movements. The bowel movements are really what is telling us he is teething as he usually just has one a week, now he is could have two a day (and they are not very nice!)
He is growing so much. He is already outgrown 0 - 3 month clothes. He is wearing 3 - 6 month clothes and size 2 diapers. They really do grow so fast!
He LOVES Baby Einstein. We receive a DVD at one of our baby showers and hadn't ever put it on. We did the other day and put Hayden in his bouncer. He sat content for the WHOLE show. It was so cute. We bought two more the other day in Arlington and he loves them. He giggles at some parts and talks through the show. We feel bad that we are putting our baby in front of the TV but he enjoys it so much and in that 3o minutes mom can at least clean the kitchen or get some laundry done!!
Now that he is older he is playing with some of his toys. He enjoys his execsaucer (?) and jumps around. His legs are so strong, he enjoys standing up on them.
He grabs with his hands. He has gotten really good at grabbing mom's hair. He will hold toys in his hands and move them around. He sometimes shocks himself as he plays with them, it's cute!
FISH - we have a fish tank and so does Mrs. Misty (the sitter). He will sit and watch the fish swim in the tanks. We only have three fish right now so we hope to get some more for him to watch.
I think that is all the updates for now.
Several of you have asked about getting some pictures. We ordered some and will get those mailed out soon. We will also be uploading them to Kodak Gallery and you can order whatever you want. We have the copyrights so it's not illegal.
Well little man has woken up from his nap - hope to update more soon!!

LOL
The above video is amazing. This is the first time the Hayden has ever been filmed laughing hysterically. We've worked long and hard to capture this footage. The laugh of the Hayden is quite elusive and usually vanishes in flash when the camera comes out. This footage was filmed in his natural habitat right after a fresh diaper was applied. Enjoy! (And if this doesn't make you smile you better check your pulse cause this is stinkin' hilarious!)

Prayers needed
I am freaking out! (although it did help after I talked to Dr. Chris ~ Zach's cousin) I hate being sick and/or having anything wrong with me. My blood pressure has been high for a couple of years now. I was on medication before I got pregnant with Hayden. If you remember, Hayden was induced because of my blood pressure. It was so high the doctor was concerned and induced four hours later. Okay so there's the basic background. Here is what is happening now. Lately I have been dizzy and lightheaded. So I have been checking my blood pressure again. It has been high. We scheduled a doctor's appointment last week. He was concerned about me being young with high blood pressure so he scheduled an EKG, chest scans, and blood work. I was also put on a low dose beta blocker for the blood pressure to help try to lower it. I am supposed to be keeping track of it for two weeks until my next appointment. All tests came back okay except for the blood work. He didn't like some of the results -something is possibly wrong with my liver. So he has ordered more blood work to find out what is going on. I had the blood drawn this afternoon. If you know me you know I am HIGHLY afraid of needles. She stuck me, and didn't get the vein, she wiggled it around THREE times. I thought I was going to die. So then she finally pulled it out and tried the other arm. Not good for me!! So the main thing about this huge post is that I would REALLY appreciate your prayers. This could be something or it could be nothing. I am going for the nothing part but we will just have to see.
On a happier side we are going to be able to see some good friends this weekend. We are going to Arlington. Saturday morning I will get to see some of my previous students!! I miss them lots. Lots of plans/people to see in one day. There is no way we will get to everyone so I guess we will just have to go back or you know YOU people could come and see us!! :)
