Spaghetti, Vaseline, & Big Bird

Hayden sure does LOVE spaghetti. He really loves it when I let him eat it like a big boy. He ate all of it. Well, some did end up in his lap. None landed on the floor. He used to not be much of a spaghetti fan when he was younger. I guess now it's more FUN to eat!

Speed and Hayden checking out BIG BIRD and the rest of the Sesame Street crew at the live show. They had a blast. Hayden stood in his chair or on my legs and danced away. He clapped at the end of each song and dance routine. He loved it. Giggles and more giggles came from this child that night. It was great to bring him. I remember going as a little girl. It was special for me to bring my baby there. Along for the ride were all of his first cousins, Nana, and Tikki.

The pictures you've all been waiting for! The vaseline incident. I was taking a bath not two feet away from this sneaky little one! I was quietly reading as I glanced over to see why he was being so quiet. That's when I called for Brett to bring the camera. He took the vaseline out of the drawer and pasted it all in his hair. This child doesn't put things in his mouth like all other babies. No, he puts it in his hair! (I guess that is better than in his mouth, though.)

We tried everything to get it out: shampoo, corn starch, dawn dish washing soap, baby powder. Everything! It is STILL not out! He is sleeping with baby powder in his hair tonight. Tomorrow morning I am going to try noxema- as per my grandmom's request. We shall see?????

Until next time,

Kim & Hayden

* Special Prayers sent to cousin Brooklyn. She is in the hospital with dehydration. Other tests are also being run. We pray that test results come back great and she is out by tomorrow.

She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy!

On Friday, March 20th we drove over to MiMi's house for her birthday. Hayden got to go for a ride with his Paw Paw Keno while he was there. It was his own little amusement park! He had so much; he didn't want to get off. He loved the riding lawn mower. He went in circles for quite a while. Hayden had a BLAST!!!!

He didn't want to get off! Mi Mi put him on the rocking horse. He wasn't too sure about it! I think he still needs a little more practice before he tries that again.

Hayden was a bit afraid of the dogs when we first arrived at Paw Paw and Mi Mi's house, but he warmed up to them quickly. Before we left, he was giving them kisses.

My cousins from Texas came into visit. It was great seeing them. I'm sure they were ready to go home to a quiet house once they were done visiting with us. LOL!!

Until next time,

Kim & Hayden

Play Time

Hayden has been playing really hard lately. He played in the kitchen with the pots and pans. He played outside under the car port with Tikki. They drew pictures with sidewalk chalk. (that photo isn't working quite right, but I'll post it soon) He even went to the mall and played on the slide. Hayden decided that he wanted to go head first down all the slides (such a little daredevil).

Until next time,
Kim & Hayden

Hospital Visit

Last Tuesday night Hayden was feeling VERY bad. He started vomiting and wouldn't stop. First thing, the next morning I took him to the doctor. He told me to keep him hydrated. All day Hayden slept. Everytime I woke him up to give him pedialyte or food, he tried a little bit and threw it up. He couldn't keep anything down. On Thursday morning, I was either going to take him to the doctor or ER because I knew something was wrong. He wasn't acting like himself. He wouldn't walk, and could barely hold his head up.

My sister convinced me that the ER was the best place to go. We went straight there and he was in fact dehydrated. The nurse started an IV and gave him some meds for his fever. We stayed there all day long. The doctor decided to let us go home when he saw that Hayden was feeling better.

Now- exactly a week later-Hayden is FINALLY back to normal! Thank God.

Until our next adventure,

Kim & Hayden

Dipping & Driving

The other day for lunch Hayden enjoyed some hotdogs and ketsup. He dipped his hotdog in the ketsup and ate it up. It was so cute. He didn't make too much of a mess. He also tried to dip his strawberries, but that didn't taste too good.

Paw Paw Keno and Grandpa Laurie came over to help put up our broken fence. Before they left, Hayden decided to take a little drive with his Daddy. He thought is was so cool to sit in the driver's seat and play with the steering wheel.

The next post will be about Hayden's ER visit. He was hit with the Rotavirus :( he is not fully recovered yet, but will be soon - HOPEFULLY!

Until then,

Kim & Hayden

A Trip to the Park

On Friday, Brett and I took Hayden to the park. He loved going across the wooden bridge. Back and forth, back and forth. Then he wanted to run up and down the small hill (or ditch) that was in the park. Up and down, up and down. Finally I took him over to the swings and slides. He loves going down the slide! He thinks the baby swings are relaxing. He really likes to go on the big kid swings on his tummy. He thinks it's so funny. Once we were finished on the swings and slides, Hayden wanted to play in the sand for a little while. Then he got really thirsty and all he wanted to do was drink my coke! And he drank and drank. All in all, we had a good time at the park!

Until 0ur next adventure,
Kim & Hayden


PS* everyone please lock all your doors tonight and remember to bring all of your valuables inside. On Saturday night our vehicles were broken into and my blackberry, GPS, and $200 was stollen. MAKE SURE YOU LOCK UP!

Mardi Gras Cleaning and Running Away Fast

Clean Up, Clean Up, Everybody Do Your Share!

With the weather getting nicer, it was time to get everything cleaned up outside. Brett mowed the yard and Hayden blew off all the pine needles. They wouldn't all go away, so he had to use the broom, too! Hayden worked so hard. Brett did, too! Gotta love living with some boys.

And a big HELLO to my next boy, Rhett. He is getting so big himself. While I was snapping shots of Hayden, Rhett started posing for the camera. If he wasn't brown, you'd think he was a pig! LOL. Hayden and Rhett get along so well. Well, except for one big thing. Rhett's tail is right at Hayden's head. Yep, that's right! Hayden gets slapped quite often. Poor Baby!

Mardi Gras Mambo! We didn't make it to any parades this year, unfortunately. I guess we will have to make plans for it next year. We celebrated with some big beads and dancing fun! Hayden is so cute when he dances. He spins in circles, shifts from side to side, and bounces. I love watching him dance.

So, I got the bunny ears on. I figured I would start getting the Easter pics a little early. Well...... Hayden wanted nothing to do with it. The ears were a little big and kept falling off and Hayden just wanted to go play with Rhett in the yard. Hayden runs everywhere!!!! He is getting tough to keep up with, especially when I am trying to snap photographs!

We are praying for baby Speed. He is in the hospital once again. This time he had the rotovirus and ?????????? that's right, we don't have a clue. We are hoping to find out soon. Please pray for cousin Speed Jared so that he can come over and play!

Until Next Time.

Kim & Hayden!
