10 Month Walk-About

Well, its official - we have our first solo steps! Hayden decided to try his hand at bi-pedal locomotion and has gone from one tentative step to around five over the course of the weekend. Unfortunately we couldn't get any video of him walking because the camera is WAY too exciting, so he has to get down on all fours to get to it faster. While I'm excited about the prospect of him walking, I'm also terrified at the prospect of him walking... For example, he wasn't paying attention and fell and hit his chin on the coffee table, biting his tongue, we had blood and everything... After Ray calmed both Hayden and me down, we lamented about this being the first of many to come!

Since I don't have any pictures of him walking I thought I would add a random cute picture. This is the way Hayden plays with his Bumbo seat, he picks it up and flings it around. Silly boy!

Hayden's First V-Day

OK, I'm a little delinquent on getting our blog updated this week, but as they say, all good things are worth waiting for!!

Last weekend was of course Hayden's first Valentine's day. Grandma Karen sent Hayden a cute card and $5 for his piggy bank, as you can see he was enjoying both the card and the money!

Hayden also "made" his first card (OK, I'm no expert, but I think his daycare teachers may have helped a little, but its the thought that counts!)

And my darling Husband had a special surprise for me, he had Hayden's teachers help him 'sign' his first card to Mommy! How cool is that???

Here are some random pictures of Hayden feeding himself this week, he's getting to the point where he wants to do it by himself - every night we need to hose him off... Thank goodness for the dogs who clean up the floor!
