Dear Hayden,

You are 5 months old today! You are 27 inches long and you weigh 17 pounds! You are oh-so-close to rolling over, you laugh all the time and you smile so much! It’s hard to believe that you’ve been with us 5 months — the time has passed so quickly!

Love you,
Mama

Dear Hayden,

Today is your first Valentine’s Day! We are having a great day! We went and ate lunch with Dad because he has class tonight so we won’t get to celebrate tonight. We are going out to dinner with Kelly because Bobby is in class with Dad (hopefully they will get out early and be able to join us). It’s a great opportunity for a ladies night… and what a sweet little lady you are!

Love you,
Mama

First Valentine’s Day!

Little Sweetheart!

Dear Hayden,

I came home to this the other day and had to steal a picture:

Mama

Dear Hayden,

Dad and I bought a new house that we’ll be moving to in October. We love it because it is a great size for you and your siblings to grow up and graduate from high school in. There are great schools right next to it, and it’s only 1 mile northwest of where we live now. Today we went out and walked the lot where it will be built. We can’t wait to watch you grow up there!

Love you,
Mama

The New Lot

Dear Hayden,

You love your Bumbo seat. Today, I got a cute picture of you in it! Enjoy!

Love,
Mama

Dear Hayden,

Today you are 4 months old! We went to the doctor and she said you are doing great! You are 25 inches long and you weigh 14 pounds! While we were there, I saw another mama with her 2 week old baby. The baby looked very tiny to me so I asked the mama how much the baby weighed. Do you know what she told me? She said, “Seven pounds even.” I was shocked because I realized how much you have grown! You are quite a lady! You are grabbing things, cooing, smiling A TON, and laughing so sweetly! I could cancel my cable because you are very entertaining… but I won’t because you go to bed at 8!

Love you,
Mama

4 Months Old!

Dear Hayden,

This weekend we traveled to Eagle Rock, California so you could meet your great great grandparents! Your Great Grandpa Rog came from Santa Maria, too, so that we could take a 5 generation picture! This was such a special and rare opportunity that very few people ever get! Your Great Aunt Kim and Uncle Jon came with your second cousins Ben and Madison, and your Great Great Auntie Jill was around for most of the weekend too! You were definitely the apple of everyone’s eye! They couldn’t get enough of you! There are over 200 pictures from this weekend, so you will find quite a few below!

Love you,
Mama

Dear Hayden,

Today your cousins, Charlie and Alex, got a brand new baby brother, Oliver. He was born at 9:15 this morning to your Aunt Lisa and Uncle Ramsey! He weighs 9 lbs. 2 oz. and he is 20 inches long. It’s really exciting because the two of you are only 4 months apart in age, so you will have a special friend each time we visit… I can’t wait to get the 2 of you together! Here are a couple of pictures of him.

Love you,
Mama

Dear Hayden,

You love bath time! Today I decided to take some pictures of you in your bunny towel because you are always in such a great mood after your bath. Here are a couple of them:

Love you,
