Hayden's Birthday Party

On Saturday we had a small birthday party with friends and family. Hayden did really well. He was not on his normal schedule and I was so afraid he was going to have a melt down in the middle of the party since he hardly slept, but he was happy and playful the whole time.

It start out so innocently...........

Next thing we know he is covered and enjoying every bite!

This shot is for Great Uncle Jerry. You knew I had to!

Here we are blowing out the candles.

Hayden's Birthday!!!

It's hard to believe, but our little man is 1 year old. Time has flown by so fast and he has grown so much. It's seems like just yesterday we were in the hospital preparing to bring him home. What a joy he is. We are so blessed to have him with us, healthy and happy!

Here we are at Cheesecake Factory enjoying his birthday. Sorry- Hayden wouldn't turn around for the picture.

"Swim" Lessons

Hayden started swim lessons after we returned from vacation. I will have to use the word "swim" loosely. It's more of an introduction to the pool, some safety lessons and singing.

This pretty much sums up the 1st lesson. He didn't move far from my leg. Oh well, we have high hopes for future lessons.

Trip to San Fran

In the end of March we went to the Bay Area to visit family and get a change of scenery. Hayden took his first airplane ride and did really well on both legs of the journey. It was really great to see everyone and to have everyone finally meet Hayden.

Hayden getting ready for takeoff on our way to the Bay. He is probably thinking- "Mom, why did you get me up so early for this!"

One of Hayden's favorite parts of the trip- watching the trains at the station below our hotel come and go. Hayden and Grandpa did a lot of bonding over the trains all week.

Dinner out with the family.
