two peas in a pod

As these babies keep growing and growing, it is so much fun to watch them interact more and more. Here are a few pictures that I have taken over the past couple of weeks. Hayden and Jaelynn are so cute together, Jaelynn is getting to where she is pulling and tugging at Hayden just as much as Hayden is her. They are actually starting to play together and before we know it they will be chasing each other around the house!

playing nicely...

then.... hayden is shaking the exersaucer with all of his might!
and jealynn is looking at me saying "get me out of here"


playing nicely....

then...


they absolutely loved riding in the wagon!


emily brought jaelynn over in her tech gear today, so i went against my only tech stuff during a sporting event rule and sacrificed for some cute pictures!

i took this one just for emily

This past weekend, we took a trip out to west texas to visit family and friends. Despite all the rain they have had, we did get one good day to spend some time outside and play.

riding on the tractor with pa-paw...
what else would we be doing??


riding in the wagon with gigi...

he was watching justin chase missy, the weenie dog, around and thought it was just the funniest thing ever!

climbing a tree...

swinging...

checking out uncle steve's cool cars...

it was a great weekend!

Crazy 8

the title of this post says it all! it is definitely crazy around the hillger household, but a good crazy, a really good crazy! here is what little mister is up to at 8 months old....

crawling ALL over the place
chases me around the house everywhere i go
pulls up on everything and cruises everywhere
says dada and babbles other syllables (not sure how to say that speechies)
is eating more and more finger foods
is starting to prefer finger foods or wants to take the spoon from me when i spoon feed him (video to come)
plays with a sippy cup
LOVES swim lessons
will jump, and when i say jump i mean fall, in the water from sitting on the side of the pool (video to come)
loves being outside
new favorite toy is the wagon
is fearless
loves swinging
loves playing, and when i say playing i mean trying to trample over, his girlfriend jealynn
still does not sleep through the night consistently
siezes to amaze mommy and daddy everyday with the new things he does and with the joy he brings

new favorite toys....

balls and the tunnel!










i am finding that alot of pictures these days hayden has on a shirt but no bottoms. this is because after i change his diaper i just give up and let him go without putting them back on!! its like wrestling down a crocodile! but a cute and sweet one! hehe

just for fun!

who me?



the bed is now lowered all the way to the toddler bed setting!



first time swinging! needless to say he loved it!






with the shirt that mommy and daddy brought back for me from vegas... ps it was hard to find a shirt that was his size, anything in 12 month size is a onesie there!


each and everyday just gets better and better even when that doesn't seem possible!

sportin 7 months!

whats up with our adorable little man at 7 months old?? he has had alot of firsts in the past month... he has been sick for the first time with that bronchiolitis stuff that has been going around, but is much better now. he is starting to feed himself some finger foods!! he went to his first concert... reckless kelly one of our favorites! they played a free show in the new west 7th district in fort worth last thursday night, it was outside and early so we thought it was the perfect time to introduce live texas country music!! he even got a picture with the band!
he has started to pull up on things!! he is really enjoying swim lessons and is getting really good at his "3 second swims!!" and he got his first pair of converse!!!
he (umm i mean mommy and daddy) is also getting ready for his first time away from mommy and daddy...... they are going on their first overnight trip since he has been born. he is really excited about getting to spend some time with wonderful grandparents and auntie ali and uncle matt while we are in VEGAS!!! even though we are going to be so busy the whole time on the trip i am sure i will find time to miss!
here are some pics and couple of videos...
