8 Months Old!

Ahhh! I have an eight month old. Crazy!! This has gone by way too fast.

I love being a momma; even despite the rough nights and the demands that come with a little one. Here is a little about our little man and what he is into these days:



Hayden is a super active little guy, who is very happy and content 99% of the time. The remaining one percent  of time is due to the fact that he still isn't sleeping through the night.

Hayden currently has six teeth (four on the top, two on  the bottom), but he is working on two more on the bottom jaw. He loves to chomp, chomp, chomp on everything and anything he can get his hands on! He is a very curious little fellow; who constantly scans rooms multiple times, studying all things thoroughly before proceeding to play or eat. He notices little details now like electric outlets and hair pins on the floor.

He loves to paint with his food (as can be seen above), and is currently in a phase of wanting to eat only what Mom and Dad are eating. It's becoming a struggle to get him to eat baby food. He likes watermelon, baby cheetos (Ala gerber graduates), apples, breads, corn, squash, and arrowroot cookies.

Hayden does not crawl yet, but sits up completely on his own these days. He is walking like a champ when we hold his hands, and he is pulling himself up on things now. I'm starting to think he will skip the crawling stage. Some of Hayden's favorite things to do are: to go on a jog with his momma, to read books, to sit in the grass under trees or touch flowers, to jump in his jumper, and to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

Hayden seems to think his mom and dad are the funniest people in the world right now. I really loving being able to get those belly giggles out of our little guy.



I can't say enough this little boy. He brings joy to my day and more meaning to my life. 8 months already. Wow, that is blowing my mind. My little baby is growing up!

I am so lucky to have both of these wonderful boys to protect and love me!
