Wk 45

 RRRARRGH!

 Big blue eyes

 Cute profile

 Hayden's sleeping positions have gotten more and more awkward...Here he is crushing the giraffe

 Getting ready for some fun in the autumn sun!

 Love our boy!

 Reading a book

 Sporting new overalls!  Can't believe he is size 12 mos!  Time flies

 Showing off his chompers

 Getting some support from mommy

 Happy boy

 Hayden is so silly now.  He is always making us laugh with a funny face or new noise - and he loves it!

 AAH!  Sometimes it is so exciting you just have to yell!

 Don't know who is cracking up more, Hayden or me

 Tough look

 Making funny noises

 So proud of himself.  Ira has introduced pulverized rotisserie chicken to Hayden and he LOVES it!

 Funny faces!  Hayden was so tired from daycare that he fell asleep on the way home and woke up the next morning!  Playing is hard work!  He will likely move up to the bigger kid room as soon as there is room as he is getting so good at crawling.

Happy boy!  Hayden is crawling.  It began with an "army crawl" and now a few real crawls have come out of the woodwork!  He is fast...

Hayden is very curious.  Always wants to know what you (and everyone else) are doing

CHEESE!

What is Hayden getting into now?

Pucker up!  Hayden is loving table food right now and is getting better at drinking from a glass

Hayden really enjoys standing and is able to stand on his own for  few seconds.  However, whenever he is on his own for more than a few seconds, he gets so excited that he claps and falls!

Beautiful boy and fall day in Michigan

Here I am mom!

Hayden wasn't feeling well after a cup of yogurt...

At least his spirits were still up!

The wash down!

Crawling machine

What's up?

I don't know who likes cheesy poofs more - Hayden or Ira...

All gone!

Hayden had a lot of fun travelling about Orlando in his new umbrella stroller.  He was very good and had lots of fun on the airplane and with Grandma Heatherly!

Playing with a balloon.  Amazing how nice people are to you when you travel with a baby.

Life IS good!

Hayden's new outfit!  Hopefully it will still fit next year (and that he likes cars!)

Hayden has SO many expressions now it is hard to keep track of what they all mean!

Cute stuff!

Clap, clap, clap!

All boy

Showing off his teeth

Having fun

Playing on the floor

SO big

Sometimes he cracks himself up!

Hayden has learned so much these past few weeks!  He is loving day care and will move up now that he can crawl! 

wK 42

 We have been hitting baby Gap pretty hard lately.  Love this owl sweater we got!

 Hayden prefers to stand now but doesn't really know how (which poses a problem unless he has helping hands!)

 Looking mischievous...

 Sporting the semi-popped collar

 Still love looking at him when he sleeps.  So peaceful...

 Hayden has quite the personality now.  He now has a fake laugh that he will use if other people are laughing and he doesn't quite know why but doesn't want to be left out of the fun.

 Does it look like he is ready to crawl?  Well, he is pretty much where he was at a month ago.  Don't know if crawling (forward) will be his preferred mode of transportation.

 Being silly.  LOVES playing peek-a-boo!

 Cute boy!

 Showing off his teeth (he is now working on #6 - they just keep coming!)

 Generally, Hayden is in a really good mood

 Playing with Aunt Lauren

 The smoker!  We had fun at the American Royal BBQ!

 Enjoying time with Grandpa Heatherly

 Here you can see 5 of his teeth

 Fun with Aunt Lauren and Daddy at the BBQ

 Not to miss out on the fun Hayden had his own Dixie cup and became very attached to it (luckily there were quite a few to choose from if his got too dirty from playing 'uh-oh' aka dropping it on the ground)

 Steph and Hayden!

 Getting ready for KU Homecoming.  H actually went into the game the first quarter and got to see lots of KU touch downs.  It's never to early to wave the wheat!

 The Detroit side of H is coming out!

 Mom and H

 Having fun at the tailgate.  H was the hit of the party!

 Scott, Steph and H

 Grandma Heatherly and H playing with the cup

 Oh it never gets old!

Cutie 

 Love the variety of his expressions now

 Coy boy

 I think this will be the last appearance of the froggie onesie.  Hard to fit H's legs in this one and not many onesies in 12 mos and above.  H is getting so big!

Bet you wouldn't guess that Hayden screamed up until I snapped this pic. What a ham!

 Showing off his advanced raspberry blowing skills

Tough boy

Will probably be blogging every 1-2 wks now as work is getting busier and Hayden doesn't change as much from week to week as he used to.
