First Haircut

When I took Hayden in for his first haircut, I wasn't sure how it was going to go.  The stylist said we would start with his bangs and then if he hadn't gone into a full meltdown, we would do the back and the sides.  Hayden didn't make a sound.  He just sat quietly, looking around and imitating the animal sounds that matched the pictures on his smock.  I couldn't believe it, she had time to go back even unruly hairs out, texture his cut and do the top.  She even blow dried his hair.  Now, I cannot believe how grown up Hayden is, coming up on 18 months old now.  Time flies...

first of many beach days in 2009

So excited we finally made it to the beach.  No frills beach day, just us and the sand.  Hayden loves it down there, how can you beat chasing birds and trowing sand on yourself?  He also loved watching Jeff surf (pointing to Daddy in one pic).  Enjoy!

Legoland

Every Thursday Legoland offers a special pass to moms, "the Model Mom Club."  When you buy the pass (the cost of 1 days admission) you get in on Thursdays for a year.  We just joined a few months ago and it is such a blast!  Hayden loves the "tot lot," a little play village.  He can only go on a few of the rides but for now, I think he can take it or leave it.  He is hilarious in the aquarium.  Hayden runs from tank to tank pointing at the fish, eyes as big as they can get.  He loves the tide pools where he gets to touch the starfish.  He has so much fun there and I love the 2 1/2 hour nap that follows.
