this is from sunday when the cowboys stunk it up, i seriously think hayden could have done better than some of those players!

This is what I think about 5 months.....

Wow! oh how time flys! Can't believe it has been 5 months since we welcomed this little person in our lives, and oh how we thought we knew what we were getting ourselves into. We had no idea! This journey thus far has been far better than I could have ever dreamed of... far more rewarding, challenging, miraculous, and wonderful than I could have ever imagined and it just keeps getting better and better everyday!
What our little man has been up to this month....

"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!
