This is my norm

Hayden had an exhausting first Easter. Poor thing. She slept until 11 this morning to make up for it.

We had a fun time with her and will have many more Easter’s ahead!

Here are some pics of the weekend….

She also decided that this would be a great time to start crawling…. 🙂 She has got the leg part down, now if only those arms would cooperate!

HE has Risen!

Starting a petition to force Deborah to update her sight 🙂

3.Bj…I’m sure he would want to sign 🙂

I can’t believe here we are at 6 months….seems unbelievable.. anyway, Hayden went to the doctor today and did great as usual. She weighed in at 20lbs 15oz. and 28 inches long. She is rounding out on the curve for her weight and has stopped peaking. The doctor said she look GREAT! She’s sitting without assistance and doing all the developmental things she should be! She’s really been checking out those hands lately! I love it. Then the dreaded three shots…she cried like crazy but stopped as soon as I held her. It was the best one yet. 🙂 What a big girl! Her two side bottom teeth are starting to get close to the surface too, so we are going to have a mouth full of teeth before long. Since she did so good she even got a big girl blues clues sticker 🙂

So exciting…being a mom is so great! I just love it! Hayden has really been responding to her name lately which is so cool to watch her just turn into a full blown respondant child. ANd squeeling…she’s discovered she is definitely a girl…and a girly girl at that 🙂 Life is amazing!

Thanks Melissa and Cary for the cute little dress and hat and socks she wore last sunday 🙂 She was a doll!!

I am in such a reflective mode due to the tragedy that happened yesterday. I bus of girls soccer players were traveling from Beaumont to Humble for a playoff game when the driver swerved to miss some debris and flipped the bus. I believe 11 girls were taken to a nearby hospital but two girls died. These were high school girls. So young and having so much life ahead of them.

My cousin was on that bus. I thank God today for sparing her life and for keeping her wounds and injuries minor and repairable. One of the girls was one of her best friends.

It is so sad to think of what those parents must be going through. When I heard the report, even though I didn’t know any of them, my heart sank. As a new parent, I cannot fathom the thought of living my life without Hayden. I want to never take a day of her life, a second of her life, and Bj’s as well, for granted. Life is so fleeting, and it can end in a split second.

Traci we love you and are here for you through this. May God comfort your heart and heal your wounds. ❤

I was feeding Hayden, and got a phone call so I walked away and took the call. Well usually she would start “talking” or crying because she wanted more, but I didn’t hear her…..

This is what I came back to………

That is the cutest ever…she is even snoring! She must be so tired from teething!

yes, that was not a misprint, i do mean teeth!! TWO Teeth at once. Today I was changing Hayden’s diaper and I saw a Hoobie hair in her mouth, so I was trying to get it out and my finger brushed something sharp….I checked and sure enough, two little teeth are poking through on the bottom. PRaise the Lord, they have finally cut through.

Those that have been around Hayden recently know that these teeth have been giving us all grief. Poor thing, has been snot-nosed and cranky for a while and finally finally they have come through!!! Whoo hoo..

I can’t believe she is sitting, and eating with a spoon, and now has teeth….time is flying by, before I know it she will be saying mamma and daddy and crawling….ahahhhh!!!!!! I love it, but I want my baby to stay little. 🙂

Anyway, congrats to matt and Mandy traylor on the birth of little Noah. He is precious.

Here are some pics of this weekend, Hayden getting ready for the summer time!! I tried to get a shot of the teeth but I haven’t got a good one yet.

These are her first “sits” 🙂 And like I described….her licking her toy. And then her first day to try her big girl swing!! She loved it and squeeled!

The Five Love Languages

My primary love languages are probably
Acts of Service and Quality Time.

Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don’t understand our partner’s requirements, or even our own. We all have a “love tank” that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

Take the quiz

Well Hayden is just doing all sorts of fun new things and cracking us up while she is at it. She is still eating SO good with her new solids and her favorites are EVERYTHING 🙂 She loves squash, green beans, carrots, sweet potatos (those make her gassy though), coconut pudding, rice cereal and applesauce, bananas and her most favorite, applesauce.

She is also rolling from back to front so fast. We can’t hardly get her diaper back on fast enough before she flips over. Other new finds….HER FEET. So cute to see her hold on to them and look at them and try to get them to her mouth. She has sat for a few seconds at a time and we think that she will be sitting very soon on her own. She is also in a licking phase. It is so funny. When she sits in her jumper she looks at the seat and bends down and licks it. Haha!! So funny. Same with her exersaucer. First thing everytime she gets in it…as if to check to see if they’ve changed overnight 🙂

The teeth are still trying to push through. Poor thing has been so uncomfortable the last week just putting anything she can grab into her mouth. I think its the lower front right one pushing the hardest. I can feel it very thick down there.

Anyway, that’s the latest on our little 5 monther!! Can’t believe it is that long already. I finally got a bunch of her pictures framed from when we had them done at 3 weeks. I still need to get her new pics taken…wanted to go for 4 months but maybe we’ll try for 6 🙂

Take care!!!
