Long Time No Blog

Sorry it's been a while. We've been really busy. Anyway, here's the latest...Hayden is 6 months now. She's doing all sorts of things. She's making cute little noises, eating food (she loves the sweet potatos if you haven't noticed). She's almost to the point of rolling over and crawling. Since the last post, she's met all of her cousins on Steph's side of the family. This picture is with her cousin from Washington, Reid and her Aunt Bonnie, Reid's mom. She also met Steph's Aunt Sue and cousin Alli. Here are some pics with all of them. Hopefully, it won't be so long between posts.

What a Party Animal...

Today Hayden went to her first Christmas Party. Kathy, our daycare provider, had the parents of the kids she watches over for dinner. Santa made a surprise visit with gifts for all the kids and the families. Hayden had a ball. Check out her picture with Santa. P.S. Merry Christmas from Hayden

Thanksgiving

This was Hayden's first Thanksgiving. Grandma Breecher bought her a cutie onesie. After traveling to Sandwich to see Rich's family, we drove to Barrington to spend the next couple of days with my family. My sister Sara and her family were in town from Ohio and met Hayden for the first time. Travis, Justin, and Kaylee just loved Baby Hayden. They couldn't get enough of her. Saturday was my birthday and Hayden bought me a tickle me Elmo. I think she really bought it for herself!! Enjoy the pictures!

Trick or Treat...

Hayden celebrated her first Halloween. We didn't get her a costume, instead we bought this outfit she is wearing. Stephanie and I dressed up however....as sleepy parents (HA!). I've included some pics of Halloween and other activities. The winter hat Hayden is wearing was made by her Aunt Bonnie. It will definitely keep her warm. It has earflaps!! Hayden loves trying to chew on them. All is well. We'll write again at a later date

Back to Work

Yesterday was Steph's first day back to work. She was a little upset about that so Hayden and I wanted to make her first day back special. The pic was Hayden's idea (yes, I understand baby jibberish. Sometimes I speak it!)

And Still More Pics

The Many Faces of Hayden

Hello all!

This is the last week Stephanie gets to stay home with the baby. She goes back to work Friday. She's a little anxious obviously, but I think things will be ok. While on maternity leave, she took some really neat pics of Hayden. Here are a few.
