Why do we buy toys??

Yes that is a clock in her hands, and that is all I am going to say.....I did take it away!!

One week people!!!

One week from today(9/6) Hayden will turn 1!!!!!

We are not planning anything big this year, while it will be a very special day with our princess, it will be fairly low key. We will have a very special cake, and she is getting some very special gifts(one of which her uncles sent from Bloomingdale's) it will just be our little family. David's birthday is Friday(4th) so it will be a birthday weekend at our house.

I can't believe she is going to be 1!!!!!

Walking, walking, and more walking

Jail Break

Someone and her partner in crime was working hard to figure out how they could get up the stairs today!! As you can see Sophie was working a little harder than Hayden, but that is only because Sophie has experience in this escape route. If the gate is not up Hayden waits til she thinks I am not watching and BOLTS up the stairs as fast as she can giggling the entire way.

The last picture shows what Hayden practices all day and all night....walking. She is walking more than she is crawling on most days, but she still thinks crawling is more efficient. But I would say another week or so and I am guessing crawling will take a back seat in her mode of transportation.

Miss Photogenic!!

Okay the pictures are in and the verdict is.....AMAZING!!! Miss Staci at Fia Bella did a great job, and of course I think Hayden wins for most photogenic. The problem is going to be figuring out what to order!!

Here run over to her blog so you can see a few of her favorites(they happen to be a few of mine too)and come right back and let me know what you think!


If you live in the DFW area I would highly recommend you give her a call pronto and get an appt. scheduled. She is a mom just like us, has two beautiful girls(Sofia is a great photo asst) and has used her talent to start a business. I love to patronize moms like her!! I am so glad Sherry told me about her.

Thanks Staci for working so hard. Hayden made Staci earn her $$ that day:) Hayden never stopped moving!!

Pretty Ballerina

I love this picture!! This exemplifies their relationship!!
Hayden loves her ballerina skirt, and LOVES her daddy.
Not much going on around here. Hayden is getting her picture taken tomorrow, we will see how it goes, we may be taking them again if our model doesn't cooperate. She turns 11 months tomorrow, she is doing a lot of walking, and very little napping, and finally has two teeth:)

Hope your week is going well!!

Music Play to learn class

We went to Hayden's first music play to learn class on Tuesday for a preview. She was a bit timid at first and did relax a little bit after realizing we were not leaving her there. She still has a ways to go, but I think just a few classes and she will be romping and singing just like the rest of the class. She loved when the teacher was singing(she loves music) and clapping, and she really liked the bubbles. We will start going once a week tomorrow. I think this will be especially great for the social aspect. Hayden has never been in a room with so many children the same age.

**Yes I was the oldest(by far) mom there!! I felt very old amongst all of the very young moms.
