I came home from my run yesterday and Hayden and Thad are watching U2 on "on demand" and Hayden is so into it. His first tv watching, and its of U2, daddy was so proud. He was loving it and dancing!This week we had the pleasure of hosting Brandt and Jill Waggoner, Blake's brother and sister in law. Blake is our roomate who came from TN as well when we moved here. We had a wonderful time with them. I know they were so happy to see Blake and spend some family time together. And they had good weather, i think it only rained one morning. So that was nice for them. Brandt and Jill loved to play with Hayden. Brandt and Blake would be in Blake's room and Hayden would just walk right in, like he was invited or something, and sit on Blake's lap (he does this quite often) or play with Blake's fan, ( one of his favorite toys). He learned to turn on Blakes' fan and when he did, Jill said Hayden put his hand in his hair and let the fan blow his curls! He is quite funny. When i blowdry my hair i often blow it on his for a second and he must have caught on.
Hayden really is learning so much these days. He throws his own diaper away, and i tell him, "Go throw it in the garbage" and he always goes to the one in the kitchen, but today he, without me telling, threw it in the garbage in the bathroom. He has also learned to spin, and whine, still. Everything he wants is a whine/ point. We have got to work on this. Im trying with the please ( sign language) but i think i just need to put my foot down until he does it. Hayden has also helped me make the bed, he just starting giving me the pillows, it was so cute. I dont think anything can melt your heart like your own kids.......really! AND, we have learned to kiss! and we do it often.
Yesterday at this play place hayden started goin gfor another boy with arms open and mouth open, for a big kiss. He didn't get to give him one because the boy ran! and then later he was showing off his tummy ( which i ahve been trying to teach him and of course in public he finally does it) and another boy came up to him and tried to give him a raspberry on his tummy. Hayden fell and so did the boy. It was really funny, i think the boy must have seen me because i had just given hayden one a few minutes earlier.
This is Hayden working on homework with Blake, he is a big help! See the fan in the background
We put Hayden into his cousin's swimsuit for fun one sunday afternoon. He was dancing to the music!
Listening to mommy's ipod, Not really!
One of Hayden's favorite toys, well not really a toy, is our coffee grinder. So here he is grinding up his fridge magnets. If the grinder is going, He HAS to be there to see it!These next ones are in TN. Some are with Stella, the dog, Hayden loves Stella. We think because he can tell her what to do and tell her no. Its hilarious to watch!
Vacumming with Gigi. He also loves teh vacumm
Thad and his mom making Fried Chicken. Thad wanted to learn how so we did it this time when we went home!

awww, i so remember the stages he's going through, i was thrilled when we'd tell tristan to put something in the trash and i knew exactly where it was! we had the same thing with his whining etc. and he never used the please sign, he just used the sign for "more" so we started using that for please instead. yeah, you really have to stick with it, don't give him what he wants unless he says please first. now we never have to tell tristan, he ALWAYS says please and thank you, so its really paid off!
