Last weekend we went to Sea World. Hayden absolutely loved the manatee exhibit. The viewing area was under the water where we could see the manatees and other fish. She just laughed and laughed. Hayden had a great time at Sea World and was sooo good!
We forgot to mention in the last post that she has been waving to people. Its so cute, we will pass a mirror and she will wave to herself. Her second tooth is breaking now on the bottom. We can't tell if there are any more because she does not want us checking.
She is also just so mobile, its great. The second one of us leave the room, there's Hayden coming along! Now she's able to go after Jordyn when she has something Hayden wants :) This weekend she was doing a bunny hop. She'd get up on all fours, then hop forward with her knees/legs and then move forward with her arms. It was so cute!

8 months old!

Hayden is 8 months old! One bottom tooth poked out about two weeks ago and we were hoping to be able to post that she had a tooth but she is a slow teether and it is still about halfway out. She was pretty uncomfortable this past weekend and it looks like a few more are moving to the surface so we might just get a bunch at once. The one next to it is ready to break Here's a photo.
Hayden is getting around still by rolling and army crawling backwards, and she can scoot forward a bit. She will get up on all fours and sort of rock but then fall but she is building up her strength. She also really wants to pull herself up. She enjoys holding our hands and pulling herself into a standing position and just hanging out.
She is absolutely dazzled by Jordyn, she cannot keep her eyes and head from following her big sister, and smiles and laughs whenever Jordyn talks to her.
Hayden started meats last month and really took to beef and turkey. Over Christmas her appetite was huge, we thought she put on 2 pounds between Christmas Eve and New Years, even our daycare provider noticed. She's getting ready to grow and move, and needed the energy! She has now moved to one 2 hour nap during the day but still sometimes wakes up at night.
Hayden just loves to smile. She is such an easy-going kid. Her hair is getting longer, it now gets sort of stuck on her ear so we have to push it behind her ear, and it is still a lovely red. Her favorite toys are baby dolls. She tries to take Jordyn's Barney when she can and she has sort of taken one of Jordyn's babies, but since Jordyn has so many she doesn't notice. It almost seems like Hayden is talking to her baby, she coos and makes noises and smiles and laughs while holding baby and chewing on whatever part she can.
