Fun Times

Hayden has been having soooo much fun lately. He has got such a personality and just cracks us up. He is still cheesin it up for the camera. He is sooooo close to crawling if he can just figure out that his hands can move at the same time as his legs he will be very mobile. He can get to where he wants to go though and most of the time that direction is backwards. He is starting to get the hang of his sippy cup. I have started giving him Gerber Puffs and he is not sure about them all the time but he is starting to get the hang of them. If we go out to eat and try to feed him while we are out, we don't get very far. He is so busy checking out everyone and everything around him he has no interest in eating at that time. Our friends Michael and Shelly gave us a little activity table and Hayden absolutely loves it. I think it is probably one of his most favorite toys. Thanks guys. He loves to watch cartoons and he's favorite right now seems to be Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. If it's on he will watch it, laugh and be content until it goes off.

He thought it was so much fun.

Look mom I'm driving.

Emma and Hayden playing during nursery at church.

I tried to get Emma to look but she wasn't interested in taking pictures but camera hog was.

Aren't they cute together. They are exactly one month apart.

Papa Ray finally got to come home and we hurried over to see him and cheer him up.

Hayden and Knox playing in the nursery.

Mr. Benjie was trying to get them to look at me. Knox thought his daddy was funny and Hayden was trying to figure out what he was doing.

Finally!!!!!! They both looked.

Most Photogenic

Hayden is a very photogenic baby, but I guess he would be seeing how I've had a camera in his face since he was born. But anyways..... just thought you might like to enjoy the most recent pictures.

Hayden came to work w/ me one morning and Uncle Evan stopped by to see us and to entertain Hayden for a little bit. Uncle Evan likes to put his hat on Hayden but this is what usually happens:

The hat is on.....

It's off......

And it's in the mouth.

7 Months Old

Hayden Bruce turned 7 months old Sunday. Man how time flies. He sits up all by himself and does not like to be tilted back at all. He is a big boy and wants to be treated that way. I have had to retire the little swing we have b/c Hayden has learned to sit up in it and I'm terrified he will flip it over. He loves to sit in Carey's recliner and Carey is ready to find him his own. LOL. He is soooo full of energy and is very vocal which I love. He has also been showing his momma's temper which may not be a good thing. We have introduced a sippy cup to him and he hasn't quite got the concept down yet but he knows it makes a lot of noise if you bang it on the table. He has just about grown out of the Bumbo seat. He can push his self over with one foot and he just about falls out, which has just about given me a heart attack. He is so interested in what is going on around him. Carey and I love him dearly and are so blessed to be his parents.

We had a cookout at the Nunley's Saturday night and Hayden got to test drive Alec's little car. He seemed to really like it. I think we might have to get him one.

The Family

Looks like somebody already loves camo.

We had a church picnic Sunday and we decided to let Hayden take a little swing. He really liked it. He tries to swing his self in his Johnny Jump Up at home.

It was sooooo hot Sunday. We were glad to get home to our air conditioner. Notice the red cheeks.

I wanted a quick family photo but we are all red cheeked and sweaty.

After a nap we went to see Granny at Landmark. She loves to play with Hayden's feet.

Monday morning as I was getting ready for work I stopped to check on Hayden to find him sitting straight up in his swing. When I asked him what he was doing this was the sweet look I got. Look at me Momma.

Since we have more hair now it takes a little longer and a little more drying to get Hayden's hair dry and occasionally he looks like this.

Fun, Fun, Fun

Hayden has got such a fun, funny and cute personality. I just love him to pieces. He will be 7 months old Sunday (gosh time as flown by). He is now sitting up by himself with no assistance, although he does take the occasional tumble. He has got a good appetite and will let you know when he is ready to eat. He loves to play and watch t.v. Leslie gave us some toys of the boys and we've not yet played with all of them but so far he loves the ones he has gotten to play with. Holly brought us a Johnny Jump Up, which by the way Hayden loves, thanks Aunt Holly!!! We also got Hayden a little walker. Right now the only direction he can go is backwards but he will soon figure out that he can go forwards as well. Hayden loves to get momma and daddy's cell phones so I bought him a play one at Wal-Mart and it was a great $6 spent. LOL. He loves that cell phone. Well here are some pictures of our little man in action. Enjoy:

Napping at Grandmother's and Papa Ray's with his new little lovey. (It's a dog that sings Rocka Bye Baby)

Up on all fours after a good ole bath.

Wrapped up in a towel sitting up by his self. We're so proud of him.

Being silly w/ Momma.

I'd like to say that he was trying to give me a kiss.

He let me know he was done that night taking pictures.

Being silly @ Gran's and Paw Rick's.

This is my Paw Rick.

Giving his lady's man look. LOL

Oh yeah.... we bought Hayden a little pool and Daddy got the pleasure of blowing it up.

In his new walker holding his new cell phone.

Can you tell he loves the Johnny Jump Up??
