4th of July Weekend

We had an awesome 4th weekend. We took Hayden swimming for the very first time Friday afternoon with Kayla and Corey over at Mr. Paul and Mrs. Dennie Goldman's. Thanks soooo much Goldman's we had a blast. Hayden is a little water bug. He has always loved bath time so I thought he would really like swimming. Well momma was right, he absolutely loved it. Daddy and I pushed him around the pool in his little float and every once in a while he would make his motor sounds which was hilarious. Saturday morning we got up and got all ready to go to the 4th of July parade. Hayden liked it for the most part. He really got excited when he saw the horses. He really seems to like animals. After the parade we headed down to Grandmother and Papa Ray's to get cooled off and visit awhile. We got to spend time with Granny at Nanny and Papa's and she and Hayden had a ball. The rest of our weekend was pretty laid back. Which was great and much needed.
This is his 1st picture in the water!!!

Hayden will put anything in his mouth right now especially when his gums hurt and blankets are his favorite.


Destiny, Hayden and Kayla after the parade.


Destiny giving Hayden his bottle. She is such a good helper.


Sittin on the watermelon.


Hayden is trying his absolute best to crawl. He can get up on all fours and rock back and forth which is the cutest thing. He just hasn't quite got the whole hand/leg coordination down but it's only a matter of time before he does.


But he can do the inch worm crawl. LOL.


Taking a break with Paw Rick.


Hayden loves to spend time with his Paw Rick.

Yesterday Hayden took his very 1st step (with assistance). He has been standing up for a while now. We only have to help balance him. He thinks he is a cool cat now that he has taken some steps. I took him by to see Papa Ray and we showed him Hayden's new ability and Papa Ray was very proud of him as well as momma and daddy. He will be 6 months this Thursday and I just can't believe it. Time is flying by.

Hayden is PRECIOUS!!! I'm so glad he enjoyed swimming, but I cannot believe he's already getting up on all fours. That almost breaks my heart!
Loved the post!
