3 Months!

Today is a special day! Jeff and I both celebrate a birthday today and our precious baby boy is 3 months old! My Oh My...where does time go? He is growing and changing so much each day! Hayden, we love you more than words can describe!

What is Hayden up to these days?

*Talking, cooing, smiling, and even laughing!

*Found his hands! He loves sucking on his hands and fingers.

*Has discovered his tongue! He is like a lizard sticking it out all the time now!

*Starting to grab on to things more. (Has a little silky that he has learned to grab on to when he is in his car seat and put into his mouth.)
*Drooling a lot more! Blowing bubbles too!
*Sleeping full time on his tummy and doing great with it!
*Can turn on his side from his tummy when he is in his bed.
*Rubs his eyes when he is tired.
*Not a big fan of naps. We might get 45 minutes-1 hour one or two times a day.
*Mommy still rocks me to sleep for naps and nighttime. I know, I know...
*Usually goes to sleep around 9 or 10 PM and gets up for the day around 9, 10, or 11 AM. (Maybe that is why he doesn't take too many naps!)
*Usually goes about 5-6 hours after his last feeding at night, then wakes up every 3-4 1/2 hours thereafter. Does great going back to sleep after feedings in the night. I am just working on balancing whether to stay up and pump after that last feeding or just let it be! I am always worried if I do pump he will wake up soon and I won’t have any milk!
*We can now tell the difference between the pitiful "I'm Tired" cry and the mad "I'm Hungry" cry. He now sometimes will have this horrible scream/cry if he thinks you left him all alone or even if Mommy or Daddy walk out of the room and someone else is holding him. He might be a little spoiled! Is that possible?
*Will follow you with his eyes/head as you walk around the room.
*Can sit up for a considerable amount of time while you are holding him.
*Spends time looking around the room while sitting up checking things out.
*Will try to use his hands/upper body to sit up when he is laying down on the changing table or laying back in your arms.

*Loves bath time! Just sits back and enjoys the pampering!

Wearing 0-3 months clothes. Won't be for long though!
Wearing size 1-2 diapers we get at Sams. Size 2 is just around the corner. Already???

Hayden brings us so much joy each day! We are so blessed to have such a precious healthy baby boy!

House Update

Here are a few pictures of our house. We kind of thought the building itself would have been done by this weekend. But, it wasn't. Hopefully by next weekend so we can start framing up the inside walls!

Smiling boy!

Our baby doll is smiling all the time now and even laughing out loud some. It is precious! But, when I get out the camera, he gets a little stubborn like his daddy! Ha! He just stares at the camera and won't look at me any more when I am trying to get him to smile.

He is smiling at his daddy in this picture...

Happy Early Birthday to Me!

DSC_0628

Jeff and I share the same birthday...July 15th. Jeff got his birthday present on Father's day. But, this is what Jeff suprised me with yesterday as my birthday present! Jeff was worried about what I would say, if I would be upset about him spending the money, etc. But, I am really excited. No, it isn't brand new, nor looks perfect, but it serves our purpose! We are so excited to have a golf cart for Hayden and I to ride around on, go to Mom and Dads, or for us all to go to the ponds to fish on or whatever! It even has a "lift kit" which Jeff is so excited about!

Steel Is In The Air!

We have steel in the air! We hope to have a completed steel building this week!
