August

 We found a great pool near our house for H

 He got in with daddy

 They started with the small fountains in the baby pool

 Soon H was wading by himself

 Check out the mushroom!

 Having fun in the pool

 Coy Batman

 Didn't anticipate the wedgie factor with this swimsuit.  We liked that it maximized skin coverage - good for those who are lacking in melanin!

 H and daddy

 Our little cutie

 Mommy and H pic

 Pondering the meaning of life / watching TV (it's the only time he is still!)

 Must have been a tense moment with Curious George

 Reading with daddy

 H loves his counting books

 Sometimes it feels like the 'terrible twos' have started already

 Busy with his train

 Up to mischief

 Hey!

 Jordan pose

 Probably on the verge of too many pics at this point - hence the blank stare

 Fancy footwork with the basketball

 Soccer anyone?

 Silly boy

 Smiles

 These pics show H in action - trying to get into his dump truck!  He is just a little too big!

 There's Elmo

 Sitting on top of his 'boat'

Ready for bed.

Hayden is able to climb up and down stairs.  He is easily putting three words together and knows almost all the words in his books.  Next month he will be moving up to the Hickory room with some of his old friends.  He will work on eating with utensils at which he is getting better and better.  What a great summer it has been with our little boy!!

Faces of Hayden

 Loungin at the pool with daddy

 Can't tell who is having more fun - H or daddy?

 So many balls... so little time

 Splish splash

 Running

 Posing for the camera

 More running - this time on tiptoes!

 Shootin hoops

 Big blue eyes

 Freight train - H loves the books he gets from his pediatrician

 Tummy time?

 Scrunchy face

 Smily face

 Crazy hair

 AAAAHHH!

 Pushing the chair (or eating it?)

 Pondering life

 Jumping on mommy's back

 This is H imitating the birds "tweet tweet tweet."  Squinty eyes are a must with this look.

 Little charmer

 Laughing

 H didn't learn this from mommy...

 Intense bout of rocking

Hayden is hilarious!  He can put three words together (bye-bye baby deer) and is talking up a storm.  It doesn't matter if you understand him, he has a lot to say.  He can go up and down stairs and is a very sweet little boy.  Can't wait for grandma to come and visit!
