We have loved the nice fall weather that we were able to have that it's kept us out and about. Now with all the snow and time change it seems like we're in bed and tired at 5:00. When in summer that's when we'd just get started. Limited light does that to ya I think, but we were so grateful for the great weather!

Hayden is getting so big right before our eyes! He's rolling all over now, but he's pretty good to just stay and play on the floor. If he gets mad or bored that's when the rolling begins.
 |
| Then he started movin in the crib. How the heck did he get that way? It was funny when we went in there though he thought it was too. |
* He is SO happy when he wakes up. He goes to bed between 6:30 and 7:00 and sleeps till 7:00 the next morning. I swear he has an internal clock because he wakes up within minutes of 7. It's amazing! We've been told that most babies don't sleep that well so we'll take it and consider ourselves spoiled :)
*He loves food! Thank heavens he got his mom's appetite. We get along well in that category. We started feeding him solids at 4 months and he wasn't crazy about it but at 4 1/2 months he got the hang of it and went wild. Basically anything we put in his mouth he'll eat. We've created a monster in the fact that when we are eating he follows every one of our bites to our mouth with his mouth wide open. We just have to be careful because when we feed the little bird too much he'll ralph it up. He's a binge eater :)

The tub is another highlight of his day. Sometimes when he's in there it looks like he's doing some kind of water river dance. It's hilarious! We've noticed too that when he stops kicking and realizes that his ears are under water he holds his breath and then gasps after a few seconds and moves to come up for air??? What a silly kid.
Halloween was so much fun this year! It was fun dressing up and getting in the "spirit" of it. I found these scrubs online and thought it was perfect. Andrew's in nursing school so we thought it was appropriate that Hayden be like dad and be a nurse in training. I about died when I put them on him. It was pretty cute.
 |
| I brought Hayden to Andrew's work. They loved him! |
 |
| We even got a mini stethoscope. It was awesome. The scrubs say "I'm New Here." |
 |
| I was the patient and in good hands :) |
 |
| Bry, Tiff, and Cade were hunters. . . if you couldn't tell |
 |
| Hayden and Cade are 9 months to the day apart and bound to be best buddies |
 |
| I had to add this one. This picture explains itself :) I love it! |
Since Hayden was born Andrew and I, but especially Hayden, have been able to get really close with Andrew's Grandma and Grandpa Johnson. They have been able to watch Hayden at least once a week while I work. It's SO convenient and such a help to us. But it has also been such a great thing to be able to spend time at their house as well.
A week ago Grandpa Johnson had a major heart procedure that was very successful but has kept him in the hospital this last week. He has been leaps and bounds ahead of what they expected. Everyone is thankful for that. We were able to go see him a couple times and one of the times we made the trip with Hayden sporting this.

With Grandma at the hospital taking care of Grandpa it's put her out of babysitting commission so we are so appreciative of our other family (Jamie and Avery :), Mom, Dad, Kinz and Loretta for letting us have our weekend get away ) that have been so nice to help us out and watch Hayden. I love the fact that I can work and get away for a little bit and Hayden can spend time with his family. It's a win win for us. So thanks SO much! And always thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Great for being our go-to.
