Summertime fun


 Enjoying books with daddy...or magazines
 Magical Mystery Train
 Still playing with motor vehicles - don't let the school bus front fool you - it goes fast!
 Daniel is able to stand on his own a few seconds at a time now
 Grilling!
 D is up for some chicken!
 Brothers
 D's future is so bright...
 The pains of learning how to crawl
 Pensive moment
 Pouty face
 Daniel is full of life and has the BIGGEST smile
 and loves to babble
 D finally learned to crawl at 11 mos.  He is quite mobile now!
 Big blue eyes
 Who knew the ottoman would be their favorite new toy
 We went boating in Arkansas and had so much fun
 Cptn Hayden
 The crawling days
 Tentative trike riding
 Despite the frigid temperature, D loves the pool
 Loungin
 Guarding the cooler
 And you!
 Family fun
 Often times you can see D's smile behind his passy
 Trying on a new hat
 Mom and D
 Risky business?
 A new fashion trend
 Can you fit?
My big boy!

9 mos and counting!

 Beautiful sleeping baby
 Playing at the park
 Love the action shots
 H loves to run.  At the gym, he likes to run around the oval (the track).
 I think this is the last time D can wear this outfit - getting too long!
 Mommy and Hayden
 Gangsta H
 Suburban H
 Happy Daniel
 D likes everything of H's - including his hats
 Grabbing the camera
 I think Daniel's eye color is the same as Hayden's at this age
 Sometimes this tuft of hair makes a curl - so cute
 Generally, Daniel is a very happy baby (except when he is not:))
 This was Daniel and Hayden's first bath together.  They both had so much fun.  Daniel splashed way more than Hayden ever did but H thought it was fun.  Needless to say, I got really wet.
 Matchbox cars for Easter!
 Family pics
 Love H's pose
 Our littlest cutie
 Aunt Lauren!
 H loved finding (and hiding) Easter eggs.  Two hard boiled eggs went missing so we may start to smell them in a few weeks!
 H used his 'goggles' to find the eggs
 He also was willing to look high and low to find them
 Mango anyone?
 Mango fu man chu
 Easter portrait - love H's expression
 Playing with brother's toys is the best
 The best way to play with trains
Our attempts to help Daniel learn how to crawl generally result in this...

The boys are doing great!  It is so fun to see them start to play together and enjoy each others company.  H definitely has the role of big brother down ("NO Daniel!" is a frequent expression) but he is also very generous and loving towards Daniel.  Daniel loves everything about Hayden and already wants to be just like him.  Love our family!  So many blessings to be thankful for this Easter!!!
