DWM wk 8

 Sly look
 Our little bruiser
 Roar!
 Even if it is over 100 degrees outside, Daniel loves long sleeved outfits with feet
 Eating his hand (again)
 His hair looks really light in these pictures but his hair in the back is really dark
 Cute big brother - still loves Ellie the Elephant and Monks the Monkey
 Cheese - Hayden can be a ham for the camera
 Funny face
 This is his 'big smile.'  He only cooperates because of the immediate gratification of instant viewing after snapping a pic.
 Mommy and Hayds
 Smiles
 Laughing
 I remember when Hayden had his own Nazi like picture.  Must be a two month thing
 Cutie pie
 
Daniel is really good a cooing and loves to smile after eating.  He is sleeping in four hour stretches and is such a good boy.  Hayden is learning Spanish and practices yoga at school!  He has lots of friends and has become obsessed with Umizoomi (on Nick Jr).  He has seen so many that I am able to not only sing their opening song, but regularly reference Millie, Geo or Bot (the characters) in everyday situations.  Ira has told me to stop watching with Hayden.  Hayden is still working on potty training (kind of).  He was more motivated when we were giving him sugary snacks after every successful potty but he was just getting a lot of empty calories not better at going potty.  He loves doing puzzles and still enjoys reading books with "I am a new big brother" and "Beatrix Potter" as some of his favorites.  I started back at work and am slowly getting oriented.  Ira is really busy at his new job so it is great having the boys grandparents as they help so much!

DWM Wk 7

 

 Hayden in his Monsters shirt
 Sleepy baby
 Love how relaxed he looks here
 Froggy outfit
 Big blue eyes
 Playing with the mobile - hip hip hooray
 The swaddle
 Cutie pie
 Daniel is so much more alert now.  We get a lot of smiles and coos.
 Big baby!
 Looking suspicious
 Chubby cheeks
 Our cutie pie
 Love all his cute expressions
 Almost a smile caught on camera
 Long legs
 I think he looks like Hayden in this pic
 A wink and a yawn
 Sweet looks
 Hey
 Fun with the blanket
 Chocolate milk!
 Mommy and Daniel
 Sitting up on the couch
Hayden is loving school and doing great.  He is working on potty training and can count to 20 now.  I think this video of him reading his potty book is hilarious.  He memorized all the words and is so dramatic in his presentation. 
Daniel is also doing well.  Can't believe how much he has grown.  He is cooing and smiling now.  We have been trying a little tummy time since he is so good at holding his head up but he isn't very interested.

DWM wk 6

 Cannot believe how big Daniel is getting!
 Should I cry or not?
 He looks like he has little cub ears in this pic.  Really his hat just fell off
 Daddy and Daniel
 Looking innocent
 Cute boy
 Daniel was able to get outside and enjoy some fresh air while mommy and daddy played tennis
 Love this little toes sticking out
 Sleeping...
 Hayden was invited to a birthday party at the fire station
 Most kids had a problem keeping their hats on
 Come on, mommy!
 Getting into the fire truck.  Love how they had a female fire fighter give the tour.
 Thought this was a cute interaction caught on film
 Don't know why he hated sitting on the back of the truck.  Was the 'photo op' pic that everyone was doing so I gave it a try
 Hats off to the fire station!
 Daniel also enjoyed the fire station with his eyes shut
 Swimming with daddy
 Love these pics
 All work and no play for daddy
 but H loves it!
 Hayden negotiating "just one more time, daddy." 
 Mommy and Daniel watched from the pool chairs
 What a sweet baby
 Don't let this pic fool you.  Daniel is well fed!
 Dukes up
 Daniel has great head control for being so little
 We took H to the Curious George exhibit and the first thing he did was hug George.  So cute!
 Washing the windows
 Daniel enjoyed the exhibit with his eyes closed
 Working construction
 So much fun!
 Playing mini golf with daddy
 Playing with the wind machines
 By the waterfall in the hotel
 I think daddy is worn out!
Go KU!

We had a great week despite mom getting strep throat.  So far no one else sick so hope is stays that way!!!
