That Gramps guy again!

"Man, that was a long day! Lot's of family, lots of food!"

What a stud!

Chillin' with Daisy!

This is for Grandpa David! If you can't read my shirt it says "Babes want me!" No doubt there!


I love cereal! I started eating cereal every night starting 11-5-08! It's amazing!

Hayden is 5 months!

Our little man is 5 months old and some change. He is growing more every day. He is so observant of his surroundings. He laughs and jabbers all the time. Here is his 5 month bear pic and we also found the long lost 3 month bear pic.

OMG!

I know it's a little early for Christmas. I strongly believe that no Christmas talk should happen until after the turkey bird has been eaten and we sleep through half of the Cowboy game, but this is pretty funny!

Well last night was Hayden's first night in his own bed in his room. Mom only got up four or five times to check on him. He went to bed around nine and didn't wake up until 5. We were very happy. He also put himself back to sleep when he was wide awake talking to himself in bed. Tonight he ate his cereal and then went to bed around 8:30. He also was awake when he was put in his bed and then went back to sleep by himself. We are so HAPPY! Cereal has also been a first. He started eating cereal last week. At first he wasn't so sure about it but now he loves it. Pictures will be posted soon of our big boy!

Growing so big!

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!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA THOMAS!!!

Today is my Mom's, Mom's birthday! Grandma I hope you have a great day! Here is a picture from when we were in town a couple of weeks ago.

Have a great day!

Love,

Zach, Benita, Hayden, Abby, and Daisy

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!!

Doctor Update

The results came in and everything is okay with my liver. YEAH!! I have so much more to post but no time!! Will try to post some pictures of Hayden with his cousin's when we went to visit Waco/Temple this last weekend. He had lots of fun with Coralyn and Bekah & Avery.
