Remember when

This picture turned out so cute. It reminds me of myself.


As many of yall know I still sleep with a blanket. When Hayden gets tired he will pick up his blanket and suck his thumb. He will usually find a pillow to lay down on. Lately he has been picking up anything for a blanket. He got a wet towel out of the dryer and walked around the house with it. I am hoping Hayden doesn't keep a blanket for a long time. He has also starting to picking up his stuffed animals. He loves to carry two of anything around the house. We also went back to the ENT for the final check up. Hayden's ears look great. We also took the tape off of his skin tags. His skin tags are gone, the skin is so smooth. They are a little pink from the stitches but in a few months the skin will be white. He will have a small scar that you can barely see.

A day with Daddy

Hayden and David spent the day together. David took Hayden to the doctor to make sure he didn't have something serious. He was fine. I guess he just caught a bug. The doctor was so surprised that a dad was bringing their kid in. She told David "Men never bring there kids in by themselves". Hayden is feeling a lot better. Today Hayden climbed on the coffee table so much that David had to take the table out. Hayden even climbed on top of the toilet seat. He almost had done it yesterday with me. We bought Hayden his little climbing thing and slide this weekend. We were going to wait till his birthday to give it to him, but he couldn't wait. He loves it. He climbed up the slide several times tonight and the played in it. He hasn't figured out how to go down the slide by himself though. I am sure he will be a pro at sliding in no time. He wore himself out. He ended up going to bed at 6:45 without a bottle or a bath. He was so sweaty after playing his head was soaked. David reloaded my computer because I got a virus on it. We are looking for the cd for the printer. When we find it I will be able to put pictures of him playing with his birthday present. Hayden said dad for the first time today. He usually calls David dada. I am not sure if he knows what dad is or even if it means David. He says a lot of the same sounds for a lot of things. He loves to call for me in the middle of the night and for David in the morning when wakes up.

Climbing

I thought yall might enjoy this one!



Even though he is sick he has been so active. Yesterday, he climbed on top of the table again but climbed at the other end. He usually steps onto the bottom and uses that to climb up. This time he didn't. He held on to the edge and pulled himself up. He is so strong. It was so funny because the whole time he was grunting. It amazes me how smart he is. I show him how to do something once and he has got it figured out. I was cleaning the bathroom and he watched me flushed the toilet. When I put the lid down and locked it, he went over to flush it. He has gotten to big for his changing table so we have been changing him on the floor. I left a dirty diaper out and he picked it up and took it to the diaper genie. Lately he has been into anything he can take apart. He has Mega Blocks, which are like legos but smaller. He loves to stack a few then take them apart. His dump truck has places to stack the legos and he takes them out of the truck and builds there. He is always figuring things out and never forgets.

Eye Doctor

Today we all went to get our eyes check. Hayden sat really still and let the doctor look at him. He had good vision, he couldn't tell if it was 20/20 but at least we know he doesn't need eye glasses. I need new glasses which I am not surprised. My vision is horrible. David was referred to an allergist. He is having problems with his eyes because of his allergies. Hayden has been running a fever since yesterday afternoon. We aren't sure why. We thought it was due to his tubes but we went to the ENT and he said that his ears looked fine. If his fever does doesn't break by tomorrow we will go to the pediatrician. The highest it has been was 103.7. We have been switching between Tylenol and Motrin. The medicine has been working be we haven't gotten a normal temp, yet. I am not sure if he caught a virus when he went into the hospital for surgery. He played all day and didn't act like he was sick. He was talking and jumping. His fever could be from his teeth because he is getting one in. He has never ran fever with his teeth so who knows.

A Success

His surgery was a success. Dr. Barry said that his right ear had a scab where the pus ruptured. He had to vacuum the fluid and the pus inside his ears. He couldn't see anything pass the ear drum until he got into surgery. The anesthesiologist gave him some medicine to put him asleep but it never made him sleepy. It was supposed to make him drowsy and or kind of tipsy. I am not sure why but he was jumping and talking the whole time. They ended up putting an iv instead of just the mask. They also removed his skin tags by his ear. The ended up putting stitches and glue there. There was a piece of cartilage that had to be removed, so he shaved it off. An hour after recovery time he was walking around. He is doing really well. We are doing ear drops to fight the ear infection. I am hoping the drops will work. He is such a trooper. The only thing he cried about was the iv in his hand. I added more pictures. My goal this weekend is to upload a few videos. We are all doing well. We can't wait until we go home for his birthday.

Wow

A lot of things have happened in a few days. Hayden now knows how to climb up on the coffee table. He climbs up on the table and then walks across it. He also heard one of his toys say bye bye and he said bye and waved his hand. He is so smart. I am always wondering whats next. He is getting two teeth in. The ones next to his top teeth. Tomorrow is the big surgery day. I am nervous for him. I know everything will be okay. David is not able to be home all day so I hope Hayden won't be to bad. David and I have been trying to watch what we eat. I have been counting calories and measure a lot of the food we eat. It has helped in 2 weeks I have lost 4 pounds. We also got a Wi Fit and have been doing that at night. It is a lot of fun, the exercises are so neat. I love the fact that it weighs you so you can get an accurate weight. We have been planning Hayden's party. It is going to be at Mimi and Pop's house (David's grandparents). We are going to get Hayden a climbing playhouse that has a slide. I hope that he will climb there instead of the furniture. We are going to put it in his room. I have a feeling that he will spend a lot of time there. I am going to try to put pictures up tomorrow. I have some videos that I need to load.

Tubes and the Dentist

We have been so busy with all the appointments. Yesterday I took Hayden to the dentist. He got his teeth looked at. He did really well. He let the dentist look inside and sat still. We are going back in 6 months.He might get his teeth cleaned them. It really depends on if he is going to cooperate. The doctor also showed me that another tooth was coming in. One right next to his top right tooth. It seems that he is getting them in all at once. We are having his tubes surgery on Tuesday. We were going to have them put in on Friday, but got it moved up. I am hoping that this will stop all of the ear infections. Hayden has been on the go. He is now reaching and pulling things of the table and counter. He even can reach the door handles and plays with them. I can't believe how tall he is. He is a growing boy.
