8 Months Old!

Dear Hayden,

Today you are 8 months old! I cannot believe it! You have 2 teeth, you can stand up as long as there’s a hand to hold, and you are within days of crawling (I think)! You weigh 19 pounds and you are 29.5 inches long. Happy Monthday!

Love you,
Mama

Miss you, Dad!

Miss you, Dad!
Dear Dad,

I miss you very much! Talking to you on speaker phone just isn’t the same as having you here to wrestle with each night after work. Hope you are enjoying your class in Washington, DC, but come home soon! We miss you!!

Love you,
Hayden

First Outdoor Swim!

Dear Hayden,

This afternoon you took your first outdoor swim at Grandma and Grandpa’s house in Tucson. The pool was 92 degrees, and we were in the shade so it was a pretty sweet set of circumstances for your first outdoor swim! In other news, you have discovered that you can roll your tongue over completely, so we happened to catch that in the swim pictures, too!

Love you,
Mama

Tuesday Dinner Bunch!

Dear Hayden,

Many Tuesdays we eat dinner with Kim, Lily, Chet, Elizabeth and Elijah. This works out great because Dad is at MBA class, and Jon and Tony are often working, so it’s a time for Kim, Elizabeth and me to hang out. This means you get to play with the kiddos and you have a great time! We took some pictures of you all together so we could remember this special time!

Love you,
Mama

Photos for Grandpa!

Dear Hayden,

Today I put you in your U of A onesie — and it barely snapped! I knew I had to get some photos for your grandpa (the most loyal U of A fan ever!) because you probably won’t wear this one again!

Love you,
Mama

Tooth!

Dear Hayden,

This morning Dad and I tried to get some pictures of your tooth, because it’s starting to actually show now! Needless to say, we took a bunch of pictures, and there’s only one that shows the tooth, and I had to blow it up to the size of our entire computer monitor to see it! Anyway, I’ve posted the infamous tooth picture below, as well as some others that were cute. You also play a “flying” game with Dad, so I got some pictures of that too! You smile and laugh while Dad holds your “wings” out so you can fly!

Love you,
Mama
