Look out Las Vegas, Here We Come...

Hayden & I headed down to Las Vegas to spend the week of Thanksgiving with Grammie & Grumpy.  I admit it, I was a little nervous flying by myself with Hayden for the first time.  We lucked out & were seated next to a really nice guy who was going down to LV to propose to his girlfriend so he was in a great mood.   A fussy baby was not going to bother him.  What was I worried about?  Little Mister was an angel the entire flight (he slept 90% of it).  Below is the best picture I could get of him on the plane.  Those seats get a lot smaller the older I get.

One morning Hayden was awake really early so "we" went to see if Grammie & Grumpy wanted to get up & play.  Luckily for Momma they did.  I got to go back to bed for another hour or so & when I got up they were all laying on the floor watching cartoons & eating bananas.  I think this kid could talk them into anything!

Uh oh, baby down!



 Adam joined us Wednesday night before Thanksgiving.  Just in time for turkey & Bass Pro Shops.

Hayden & Daddy checking out the trout.

Hayden & Grammie enjoying the sunshine.  We lucked out, the weather was absolutely beautiful the entire week.

 Apparently I was wrong, Hayden can't talk Grammie & Grumpy into everything.  We didn't come home with this ATV.  (Poor Daddy!)



After 10 years of living in Las Vegas I finally was able to convince Dad to stop at the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign for some pictures.  I must be wearing him down, it took me 16 years to get Christmas lights put up.  Or maybe it's his darling grandson?

6 Months

Hayden turned 6 months old back in November & other than his shots, he had a great time at his doctors appointment.  They have really fun tissue paper on the tables & when you are waiting for the doctor for 20 minutes it apparently turns to shreds with a 6 month old.  Kept him happy and entertained though.

His stats:

Weight  16 lbs 14.8 oz  (36%)

Length  26 inches (31%)

Head circumference  44.5 cm (69%)

Gettin hungry



Oh, Hi Mom!

Still waitin

On Hayden's projected due date of May 20, 2011, Auntie Terry & U. Joe happened to be in town  for a bike ride.  U. Joe participates in these crazy long bike rides each year.  The one they were in town for starts out in Potomac goes all the way up through the Seeley-Swan Valley to Bigfork.  They spend the night in Bigfork & then turn around and ride back to Potomac the next day.  That's over 100 miles of riding each day!  (Pedal bike not motor bike)  They were hoping to meet their new great nephew while they were here but he was stubborn & didn't want to make an appearace yet.  So they had to settle for dinner with Adam & I at the Mustard Seed.  After dinner they said they had a little something for us/Hayden in the car.  It turned out they had a giant stuffed teddy bear.  It is over 4 1/2 feet tall!  Each month I try and remember to take a couple photos of Hayden next to this bear to see how he has changed size wise.  I have missed a couple months but remembered for 6.
