I rolled over!

Well, I've been a busy boy since we last talked. On the 19th I went for my 4 month check-up and found out I'm 18 lb. 1 oz. and am 27 inches long. Apparently I'm in the 97 percentile but I don't feel too big. Do you ever wonder who's in the other 3%? Anyway, the afternoon I met my friend Katelyn in Mankato and we had our pictures taken with a real, live Easter bunny! He was brown, soft and sat on my lap. Mom wouldn't let me take him home though.

Then this past week my Mom & Dad went to the Black Eye Peas concert, they said it was amazing, and I had my first slumber party with Grandma Judy & Grandpa Allen. We played, cuddled and had lots of fun. Mom & Dad said they missed me lots but I didn't think it was such a big deal. I mean really, it was only one night! But I guess I missed them too.

On Friday, March 26 I rolled over for the first time. I went from my tummy to my back on my right side. Mom & Dad seemed really excited and they even applauded. I did it about 4 times for them and they tried to get me to do it more but I got kind of tired. Here's my before & after...Mom wasn't quick enough with the video camera so the regular camera pictures will have to do.

This past weekend I also went to Great Grandma and Grandpa Prestegard's. We even took a 4 generations picture with all the Prestegard men! Here we all are:

On Saturday I went to my friend Ava's house and hung out. On Sunday Mom said now that I can hold my head up real good I can play in my activity center. It is really neat. It has all this cool stuff to look at I never know where to begin. My favorite part is this ape that sings to me. I wish I could play it for you. Here's me playing.

I hope you have a happy Easter week and a very happy Easter weekend! Love, Hayden

Beware of the Home Depot!

I am all shopped out. This weekend I went with Mom and we met the Grunden's, Mike, Stacy & my girl, Katelyn, at Medford Outlet. Here’s Katelyn hitting on me…again. What can I say when you got it you got it!

I got some clothes which are ok but I got to pick out my first tool set! It is so cool and the drill even vibrates! I have a screwdriver, a saw and even a hammer. Dad seems to be just as excited as me. Here I am testing it out.

Dad, Mom and I went to the Home Depot for like 3 or what felt like 15 hours. I know my parents like that store and all but seriously they need to go to an addicts group or something. They told me it is for good cause since we’re re-doing our bathroom but it all looks the same after awhile. Too bad they didn’t bring my tool set I could have at least done something productive while I was there. I was dressed in my overalls though so at least I had that going for me! They did make it up to me when we got home because we played, read lots of books and I got a really good nap. Here’s me and Dad making faces.

I turned 4 months on Saturday. Mom says she can’t believe how quickly time has gone and how big I’ve grown. I guess I can do more things now like sit up while assisted, recognize voices and turn to look for who they belong to, put lots of stuff in my mouth, I love to stand with help, squeal with delight, and I even help turn the pages while we’re reading. Mom and Dad say they’re proud of me. I guess I go to the doctor next week so we’ll see how much I’ve grown then. Here's me at 4 months! Oh & my shirt says "No girls allowed except mom"...I don't think the ladies are listening. :)

Girl Problems!

So I was at daycare yesterday and this 6 month old girl kept rolling into me. I gave her a look to let her know I was there and since I can't roll over yet obviously I'm not going anywhere. She started to talk to me and then tried to hold my hand. Not once but multiple times! I tried to explain that I was already taken and my girlfriend would be starting daycare on Monday but she wouldn't listen. I told Dad about her and he explained that an older woman who hits on me is called a cougar and I should take it as a compliment. I'll be keeping my eye on her though to be safe.

This past weekend I got to hang out at home with Kato, Mom & Dad all weekend. It was great and very relaxing. Grandma Anne even came to visit me on Sunday and here's a picture of us playing together. I had a lot of fun and she gave me lots of hugs & kisses. I miss her already. We wish Grandpa Scott could have come but hopefully will see him soon!

Not much else is new. I've had a little bit of a cold but I am feeling better. I can't wait for the weekend to start and have more family time. I'm also excited about the warm weather. I can't wait to see my first spring. Have a fun weekend! Love, Hayden :)

Boys Night!

This past week Mom took her first overnight trip for work so Dad, Kato & I had a boys night! We read books, had bath time and got wild. Here is Kato and I playing. I must say he likes to lay around a lot. I was really worn out by the time Mom got home all I could do was sleep...
On Friday I had a play date with my girlfriend Ava (Mom & Ava's Mom Anna came too). We went out for lunch and even took our Cadillacs (strollers) out for a spin! Here's me and Ava cruising:

On my way home I stopped to check on things at our shop and hang out with Grandpa Allen, Dad & Uncle Butch.

On Saturday cousins Angie & Mark hosted a special coffee & cake for me and we even celebrated Grandma Judy's birthday! It was extra special because my cousin Hannah came home to play with me. I got to see Grandma Betty, Aunt Patty, Aunt Jenni & Uncle Kyle and cousins Phoebe & Max. Here I am with cousin Angie.

Sunday we went to church and then played at home. Mom helped me to practice riding my rocking horse from Grandpa Mark & Grandma Dawn. I'm getting better and didn't even hit my head this time! Giddy-up!
Sunday night we made monster cookies to send to Uncle Bret and I even took some to my daycare ladies. Dad said I should stay on their good side and chocolate with the ladies always helps. He always has good advice. Time for bed but hope you have a good week! XOXO Hayden
