Firsts

Hayden has been doing so many things. He has a couple of first that happened yesterday. Hayden never lets me cut his nails while he is awake. He ususally tries to grab the clipper when I cut his nails. I was able to cut both hands in one sitting. Hayden is always eager to eat or drink what ever we eat. I was eating a peach and Hayden was screaming. So I figured he wanted a bite. He did,

He loved it! The juice was running all down his shirt, he loved turning the peach and finding new places to chew.
Today Hayden crawled to follow David into the bathroom and stood up at the door and took about 6 wobbly steps to get to me. He is also always saying bye. I am sure he doesn't know what it means but he is trying. It is funny because any time I say something he echos me with the same expression. He tries so hard to repeat things.

Look at Me

We have been having a lot of fun! Hayden is so busy and always on the go. He loves to be chased, he tries to run and hide from us in his room. Today I actually taped him playing with his truck and talking. It turned out really cute. David has enjoyed us being home. I think he loves the fact that lunch and dinner are ready. Heather came over today so I could go get some paperwork done. Hayden really missed me. As soon as I left he was looking for me and saying ma ma. When he woke up from his nap he was shocked Heather was there instead of me. Next week it is back to work. I think he is going to have a difficult time at daycare. I guess we will wait and see. On Saturday, David and I are going to go set up my classroom. I can't wait. I took Hayden there yesterday and he had so much fun. He was pulling stuff off from shelves and playing with all of the toys.

Walking

While we were in Houston Hayden took his first steps. We were at Joe and Karen's and he was standing up then took a couple of steps then started to crawl. We were all so excited. Since we have gotten back he will walk from the couch to the coffee table. It is only a couple of inches away when he stretches his hands out. We have been making him walk from us. He usually will walk a few steps and then give up and crawl. Since I am off we might try go to the Children Museum. They have a great room for toddlers. There is so much from him to crawl through and from. They have a lot of things for him to try to walk. Today when we were cleaning Hayden took his dump truck and pushed it back and forth in the living room. He hasn't figured out how to steer yet.

Home again

We made it home late last night. Hayden and I didn't land until 11:15. We were all so tired. Hayden slept really well last night. The night before he was up all night. My mom and I ended up taking him to the doctor. He had fluid in his left ear. The doctor drained the fluid, he was so much calmer after that. It really helped. David really missed us. When we got off the plane Hayden was awake and had the biggest smile when he saw David. He really missed him. On the way home from the airport Hayden stared at David the whole time. We are all doing really good. We are so tired. I am going to try to put up the pictures from our trip on here, either tonight or tomorrow. I need to do some updating. We had a blast visiting family it was so good to be home. Also since we don't visit Houston that much I am going to make a matching game for Hayden. I am going to get pictures of everyone so that we can work on recognizing our family.

Shopping

We came into town on Friday. We are having so much fun! Aunt Ann and Amy love spending time with Hayden. They all think he is a good baby. They are finding out that he loves to eat and makes a big mess when he does. It is so nice to be home, although I wish David were here with us. We are enjoying all of the shopping here. Yesterday, we went to a jewelry store. I bought a lot of stuff. The store was huge; we ended up spending 3 hours just looking at jewelry. Tomorrow we are going to go to the Galleria. I am so excited about that. We don't have many stores to choose from in Midland so I like to go shopping here. I am really excited about shopping at Forever 21; they always have great deals on clothes and stuff I like. For Hayden I love The Children's Place. We are thinking about going to a small water park. I think Hayden will love it. He loves to take baths and play in the water. We will have to wait and see.

I Can Walk

Yesterday we went to Toysrus. We always go about once a month. Now that Hayden is mobile our choice of toys are very different. It is actually getting exciting browsing the toy aisle and getting to chose. I think I was more excited then Hayden was. He finally decided on a dump that he can push around. He loves it. He has been pushing it into everything. It has Lego's and I stack them up and he knocks them down. He has been standing and walking while pushing everything. He loves to push the laundry basket. If I would let him he would push the vacuum cleaner. Today when I dropped him off at daycare he was holding my hand and just walking to get to the table to eat breakfast. I have been on the search for wide width shoes. I haven't had any luck. If anyone knows where I can find some shoes for him let me know. He has really wide feet. Right now he is wearing a 4. We will be leaving Friday to go to Houston. I will be spending Friday there and stay there until Thursday morning. We are going to stay with my aunt and sister. Grandma Husenica is moving back to St. Louis in August. We aren't sure when we will see here again. Then on Thursday we will be going to Friendswood to visit grandparents there. We will fly out Friday evening. It will be fun. I am excited!

ER Visit

We spent last night in the ER. Hayden was running a fever on Friday when we picked him up from daycare. We thought maybe he is getting teeth or just got a little bug. He slept 3 hours at daycare and came home and slept 2 more. We knew something wasn't right. We finally ruled out teething because Hayden hasn't ran fever when he was teething. The only time he has had a fever is when he had an ear infection. We figured we should take him in so he could get on antibiotics and get to feeling better. We didn't want to have to wait till Monday. His doctor office is open on the weekends but his pediatrician wasn't there so our only choice was the ER. The ER doctor said his left ear was red and he has a sore throat. He though it might be strep but the test came back negative. He seems to be feeling a little better today. For some reason he doesn't want to go to sleep and has been fighting it. David and I haven't had any decent sleep for the past two nights. I am praying that tonight he will sleep. I am thinking that it hurts his ear. When he hold him up or rock him he has no problem, it is just when he lay him down. One good thing health wise is that we haven't given Hayden a breathing treatment in two months. We are slowly going to stop his Singular.
