She's Walking!

This past week Hayden officially started walking (as in taking more than 3 steps to daddy or mommy). She is doing great! She can walk down the hall or through the kitchen, but the funniest part is when she just stands and "dances" which basically consists of her hulaing her hips. Here's a clip of her singing and "dancing", and walking a little. More to come next week but we had to share - its very exciting but also a little sad that our baby is growing up so fast!

First Easter!



Hayden celebrated her first Easter this past weekend. She had a great time. She really enjoyed shaking her eggs. She's been getting more brave with standing and taking steps but still likes to hold on. She has been very fussy the past few nights but we are not sure if she will finally get more teeth, or if she is just mad that we are settling down rather than playing.

11 Months

Okay, we feel like we just posted and here it is a month later and time for a new post! Hayden has been doing well standing on her own. She balances really well. And she will stand up by herself with no assistance sometimes. She has taken a few steps but overall she doesn't seem real interested in trying. She will pull herself up on things, and cruise, but seems happy just crawling around. This weekend she started to bear crawl a little.
She still only has her two bottom teeth. We can see ridges all along her bottom gums but none have broken through. She seems to have been growing them since January, and hopefully they will just all break through at once.
Hayden is eating more "people food" these days and of course loves grapes. She's been doing well with most of the foods we give her. We saw the Easter Bunny this weekend and Hayden did not enjoy sitting without Mommy (or Daddy). We did get a decent one of the girls on the Bunny's lap, though.
Hayden's hair is getting longer, and is still red. It is a really pretty shade, especially against her blue eyes.

Forgot to mention: Hayden also gives great kisses. We will ask for a kiss and she will come in for a kiss, all puckered up, and then give multiple kisses! Very sweet.
