"I'm dreaming of a white Christmas!"

Oh what a wonderful couple of weeks it has been spending lots of time with family, celebrating the birth of our Christ Savior and documenting many "firsts" for our little one! We started off last weekend in Garden City having Christmas with Justin's family. Hayden got to see his first deer that uncle Brian shot, spent lots of fun time with Gigi, pa-paw, uncle Brian and Tia Jess and got to open lots of fun toys. He even got his first football! (well I think it was more for daddy)



Next stop, mimi and poppa ted's! This night we got all dressed up to go to the Christmas Eve candlelight service at church, which has been a family tradition ever since I can remember, but ended up staying home and had our own little service with live entertainment at home since the roads were icy.


Christmas morning, we woke up to a white Christmas! It was so beautiful! Then all eyes were on little Hayden! Check out the massive stocking mimi got for Hayden. I told her she is going to have to have one that big for all of the grandkids!
Hayden got really good at pulling off the bows and putting them in his mouth!

Then outside for Hayden to see his first snow! We put a blanket on the ground to take pictures and he sat all by himself for a few seconds just so we could take a few pictures! hehe

Auntie Ali, uncle matt and their great dane, Willie! Such a cute family! Hayden had so much fun with them... even Willie!

We have one more Christmas to go to... great granny and pa-paw Williams! We are so blessed to have such wonderful families to spend this wonderful holiday with!

4 months!

So this past Friday we went for little (i use this word not in the literal sense) Hayden's four month check-up! She said everything is looking great! We do have a little bit of a flat head but I am just hoping with more sitting and being upright it will round out... we shall see.
Mr. Hayden weighted 17.9 lbs, 93% and was 27.5 inches which was off the charts!
We also started some cereal since I got the go ahead from the pediatrician. Not sure why they say starting solid foods doesn't help sleeping, cause he slept 8.5 hours that night, and has been sleeping much longer since then!
He is starting to roll from his stomach to his back, he is trying to move forward when on his belly but instead goes backwards and in circles! I think we are going to have to baby proof the house a little sooner than I expected! He can sit with his hands propped on the ground too!! He is laughing more and more, which just melts my heart! He is just growing and growing so much, we are continued to be blessed daily by all the joy he is giving us!

seldom do i see those feet out of those hands!

not sure what to think about this!

Hayden meets Santa!

My first football game!!

This past weekend after all of the turkey eating and family gatherings, Hayden got to attend his first tailgate and football game! Mommy was a little hesitant on how he would take it all, but he was a champ and really didn't fuss the whole time! We started off by hanging out with my sister and Matt and his family, tailgating a couple of hours before the game. After that it was off to the monstrostity of all stadiums... Cowboys Stadium. Even sitting 21 rows from the field, you still couldn't take your eyes off of that massive jumbo-tron and neither could Hayden!
After a very long day and only one nap
Also, my first Christmas tree! Anything with lights and colors he loves to look at!
Things are great here, we had a wonderful Thanksgiving and got to spend time with both families. We have so much to be thankful for and can't wait to celebrate what we are most thankful for... Christ's birthday!
Hayden continues to grow and blossom, he does something new everyday! We go for his 4 month check-up on friday, update to come soon!
PS Sorry Hayden your first football game wasn't a very good game, someday soon I will take you to a Longhorn game!

Trick or Treat!

Hayden got to spend his first Halloween with the girls. Auntie Ali and mimi came into town for a "girls and Hayden" weekend. It was so much fun! It was so good to see Auntie Ali, she has not seen Hayden since he was just a few weeks old cause she has been so busy working hard in PT school. We miss you already. Here are some picks from it... needless to say he did not last very long in his Frankenstein costume.

pumpkins and laughs

Here are some pictures from when Hayden and I met some friends out at the Flower Mound pumpkin patch today! It was a bit windy but we had fun... well until we got tired and cranky!





This is a friend of mine's nephew, him and Hayden were born an hour a part!

hence the tired and cranky.... as soon as i picked him up he was out and slept the whole way home!

then... tonight after dinner justin was playing with hayden on the floor and hayden was moving 90 mile an hour and making all sorts of noises so i decided to get out the video camera for a while. well, as soon as i turned it on i caught him first laugh on film!! i think we have watched and listened to it a million times!

A Blessed Day!

This past weekend both sets of Hayden's grandparents and his great granny were here to visit. Saturday was filled with playing with Hayden, watching football and eating chili! Perfect chili weather! Sunday all went to church to witness a beautiful thing.... Hayden's baptism. After church we went to our favorite bbq place in Southlake, then came home to watch the cowboys stink it up. Justin and I got to sneak away and go meet the new addition to the Vasel family, Jealynn! She is so beautiful, I can't wait to start watching her! Her and Hayden are going to be such great buds! Monday we were going to try to go to the pumpkin patch or botanical gardens to take some pictures of Hayden but this weather just isn't cooperating , so we had to make a pumpkin patch in our living room! It was such a special weekend to know that so many people are dedicated to help Hayden know and learn how much Jesus loves him! I pray to God everyday that He helps Justin and I raise him in an environment that teaches Hayden to know what God sacrificed for him.
