This poor blog has been severely neglected over the past few months. Hopefully I can get all caught up over the next few days/weeks, but I'll be posting retroactively so they'll all appear below this one in chronological order...

Here's a photo to tide you over...

He loves his baths, and Mr. Rubber Ducky

4 Months!

Hayden is 4 months old! Time just keeps flying by. At his doctor's appointment he weighed in at 14lb, 8 oz and was 23 3/4" long. He just keeps growing!

He sleeps through the night! When he wants to. He did it for about 10 consecutive days leading up to his doctor's appointment, and hasn't done it since. The shots, or his reflux acting up, have killed it. Needless to say, Darren and I are bummed.

He has perfected blowing bubbles and spitting with his tongue. Anyone holding him better watch out, because they'll end up with a face full if they're not careful. He also laughs now! Of course, he laughed at my mother first. All she did was bounce a water bottle across the table and he lost it. The next day he laughed at one of my parents' dogs barking. Silly boy!

He is still in a few 0-3 month outfits, but we're phasing him out of those so he can wear his cute 3-6 month ones! He will also be out of size 1 diapers in the next week or two. They look like they're just squeezing his middle a little too tight.

At four months Hayden likes to: smile, laugh, stand in someone's lap, be a naked boy, nap in his swing (we're still working on this...), play with his pacifier.

He does not like: being on his tummy, church, car rides longer than 15 minutes.

Can't wait to see what will change over the next few weeks...

January

January was full of rolling over and lots of smiles from our "Little Man"...

Showin' off for the camera

About to roll over...

All bundled up for a walk to the grocery store

He literally stayed like this for 5 minutes. Fully awake.

Tryin' out the Bumbo!

Hayden at Three Months!

It's hard to believe another month has come and gone. We don't have a doctor's appointment this month, so I have no clue how much weight our little guy has put on, I just know he's getting quite hefty. Not much more hair has come in, so he still looks pretty bald. He smiles a TON now. I love going to get him in the morning and seeing his huge toothless grin when he sees me.

He still wakes up once every night, usually between 3 and 5. He teased us for a couple days right after Christmas and slept 9pm-6:30am, and he did it again the other night, but it's definitely not the norm yet. Darren and I have taken to alternating nights so that we each get full nights of sleep during the week, just not on the same night. He loves his bath time as well. Darren and I need to invest in some rain coats or ponchos to wear each night, since we usually end up drenched from his exhuberant splashing.

New things this month: He can roll over from his front to back now! He has been pretty close the last couple weeks, but just couldn't get there. Monday morning, the 14th, I put him on the floor and thought, "The one time I don't have my camera out is the time he'll finally roll over." And it happened just that way. I was so bummed I didn't get it on film for Darren, but he did it a couple more times that day, so I was able to get one eventually. He also found his hands, and has gotten pretty good at getting them into his mouth when he sees them. The first few tries were pretty hilarious, as his fist would end up either in his eye or on his chin. Practice made perfect though. He will grab everything now. Hair, necklaces, shirt collars, etc. Anything in reach, it gets into his death grip. He is almost always holding something, usually his bib or burp rag, while he eats. He has also discovered he can make bubbles and fun noises with his tongue! He does this constantly now, and we have to be careful to not be too close when he does...

Hayden now exclusively wears 0-3 month size clothes, and is in size 1 diapers.

At three months Hayden likes to: smile, babble and coo, play with anyone who will play with him, be in just his diaper, be in the bath tub, take naps in his swing, and have his binkie nearby...not much has changed in the last month!

He does not like: tummy time, being over-tired, sleeping during church...

It's hard to believe that it's almost been a year since we found out he was coming. Quite funny how quickly things have changed around here...
