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%)

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. 

Our Little Guy

Jumperoo

Hayden loves his jumperoo! 

He needed a little boost.

Peas...No Thank You!

Below are some pics of Hayden trying peas for the first time.  Obviously, they were not his favorite.  Adam & I did get some entertainment out of watching him though.  He did get over his initial aversion to them pretty quickly & now eats them without all the faces.  Hayden is still a good little eater and enjoys almost everything except green beans.  I think I might have to try mixing them with something to get him to eat them.  Oh well, I guess he can't like everything.

Halloween

Hayden was a monkey this year for Halloween.  He was quite the trooper while Mommy & Daddy drug him around town getting in & out of the car.  Luckily this costume had one long velcro strip so it was easy to slip on & off.  Not sure Hayden saw the appeal of Halloween this year.  Maybe next year when he will get to sample the candy?

We stopped at Grandma Suzie & Grandpa Jesse's house.

Posin' with his pumpkins.

Whew, trick or treating is hard work.

My Little Pumpkin

Pumpkin Patch

In October we took Hayden to the pumpkin patch down the street from our house.  He wasn't quite sure what to think of the pumpkins.  Maybe that's because I just plopped him down right in the middle of them?

They had a cute area set up for pictures, Hayden just forgot to smile for this one.

That's more like it!
