So, what is Hayden up to these days?
Our latest excitement is that he is officially sitting up on his own! Last night, he was sitting up about a minute. Today he sat up for over 4 minutes truly on his own with out any guidance, support, toys, etc. YEA HAYDEN!
About a week ago, he started sitting up in his bathtub. He didn't want to lay back anymore. Scary for the Momma and Daddy!
Reaches for everything in close range! (Telephone, cell phone, remote, cup you are drinking out of, whatever might be on the table, etc.)
Very verbal...loves to hear himself talk! Sometimes VERY LOUD!
Reacts to Mommy and Daddy with GREAT EXCITEMENT! (the best feeling!)
Reaches for your face when you are playing with him.
Putting his hands together (somewhat like a clap).
Gives open mouth kisses. Love that!
Loves his K-9 friends.
Starting to reach for you but hasn't mastered this one yet.
Has a new scrunched up nose face that he makes when he wants/doesn't want something.
Getting more hair!
Says "Ma, Ma, Ma, Ma"...what Momma doesn't LOVE that?
Funny one...all boy...He will be nursing and he will lift his leg, grab his foot, and toot! Oh goodness...what we have to look forward to!
Very aware of us eating and drinking. He gets very excited when you are holding him and you get a drink in your hands. For some reason it seems he thinks we are going to give him a drink! We have started experimenting with the sippy cup filled with water.
(I realize this picture is kind of sad. I do help him more that this. I just wanted to snap a picture of him holding it! The cup looks as big as he is. We decided to start with a Nuby soft nipple cup.)
Still eating about every 3 hours day and night. We have introduced oatmeal cereal, carrots (not his favorite), banana, applesauce, and squash. We have not started giving him these things consistently. Just as a "fun food" as our doctor calls them. When we get moved in a couple of weeks, we plan to start these more consistently.
Ooooo...I can't wait to try some more food!
Stats at the doctor today:
Weight-16 lbs, 2 oz (25th percentile)
Height-26 inches (25th percentile)
Head-17 inches (25th percentile)
Our doctor said he was absolutely perfect. We tend to agree! ;-)

That is so good that he is sitting up on his own!! I am wanting Payton to have that down in the next two weeks so we can get some good pictures for Halloween!
He is so cute! I can't believe he is already half way to a year!! Time has flown by!
