Fall is Here

Still NO TEETH. But yet she eats like a trooper. Mostly carbs still.

Probably wouldn't hurt to keep more fruit & vegies in the house.
Tongue side to side

Being a Good Daddy AND watching the Notre Dame game

This Beautiful Moment only lasted a few minutes

Hayden's new thing....crawing in & around her exersaucer


Getting ready for bath time
You can never have enough bath toys
She is her Mama's Girl...Loves Ice Cream



Hayden had her 9 month wellness check up Sept. 8th and weighed in at a whopping 20 lbs. 1 oz.

She measured 28 inches long. Dr. Sara says she's a little baby in a big baby's body.

Hayden started crawling around 9 months. We now have toys everywhere to distract her from the things we don't want her to get into. We were certain she'd learn to walk and skip crawling all together. No....we were wrong. She still walks with assistance but is getting braver and sometimes only grabs one hand for help.

We have now given up entirely on jarred baby food. She absolutely refuses to eat off utensils. She mostly eats carbs.....yes, her Mama's baby. She loves loves loves pancakes, grilled cheese sandwichs, peas, carrots, cheese, rice, pizza crust and cherrios.

She still has no teeth yet so meat proteins are hard for her to eat.

She's coming up on 8 weeks with her DOC Band and we've seen postive results. We have our next appointment on the 25th and I'm gonna ask how much longer they think Hayden will have to wear her band. I'll keep you posted.

Ken & I want to thank everyone who came to celebrate his Birthday with us! The party was great fun and Ken was completely surprised.

I want to personally thank..... Terry who helped tremendously with the party, storing everything and making the tortelinis and bruschetta. Mike Wise who planned the day to keep Ken away from home. My Father, Steve, & Javier who busted their butts Saturday cleaning up the backyard and setting up tables & chairs for me. Melissa for making the worlds yummiest cupcakes. My mother, Kathy, for helping me clean cook and entertain Hayden when I was too busy to be Mommy. And lastly Ross, who without hesitation, kept Tucker safe in his backyard during the party. AND for taking all these wonderful pictures.

We sincerely appreciate all our friends and family near and far.
