A few words from mommy...

Soooo, Haden was six months old on Friday, June 20th.  Everyone says the time flies by, and they were so right! Haden seems to be right on track with all of his milestones, and he definitely has his own little personality. He is such a happy baby-unless he does not get his meals the second he wants them, and then he turns into such a little demon! He is rolling all over the place to get where he wants- he loves his puzzles and books. He has gotten very "grabby" lately and wants anything that we have, whether it be a cup, cell phone or tv remote. So, we gave him his own to play with! We are working on the sippy cup, and while he gets the concept, he does not seem to realize that he has to tilt the cup back to actually get the water.  He continues to "happy yell"- he is one of the most vocal babies I have ever heard! Yes, he is a big boy, as everyone loves to comment (solicited or not).  Our backs can attest to this fact! He is mostly wearing 12months clothes.  He loves to laugh, pull our hair, touch Daddy's facial hair and be tickled by Daddy. He sleeps through the night and only recently has begun to really fight his sleep. He can sit on his own for short periods.  He can now sit in the high chair at a restauarant like a big boy (yay, no more carrying his car seat in!) and can sit up in the shopping cart. Much to Zoey's dismay, he has discovered her and is absolutely fascinated by her- he can occasionally grab her before she scoots off like a rocket.  Her world is going to be rocked when he starts crawling...

Been a Long Time Since....

Ok... so it's been a while since we've posted on Haden's blog. I don't guess it's really His blog, I guess it's more our blog about Haden. Well anyways... We're back and we have Haden's six month portraits! We are going to put a few up on the blog and all of them on our .Mac account which all you may view and download the pictures! Now... if you choose to order prints we are not responsible for the copyright, lol. wink, wink. Well here ya go!

Haden's Day at the Track... Race Track That is!

Haden had a new experience yesterday... he went to the Atlanta Dragway! Daddy was working on the Safety Safari Crew for the Super Chevy Show on Sunday and Haden asked Mommy to take him to see Daddy!

We thought Haden would cry with the loud cars going by... but nope. Haden just would look up and try to find out where the noise came from. He even got to see one of the two Jet Cars go by! These are funny cars that are not run by regular engines but real jet engines. I'll try and add the video to the blog of the jet cars going by. The in-laws who live about 6 miles from the track as the crow flies said they thought there was a thunderstorm rolling in but it was just the jet cars boostin' the after-burners.

Haden even got to sit in the seat of a Pro-mod dragster as it was coming back to the pits after the final run. (This is one of the perks of Daddy being a crew member, we sit on one of the two access roads with our trucks.) He met Jerry Rhodes one of the Pro-Mod drivers and Jerry wouldn't let us take a picture on just the outside of his car, he asked (well not really asked, he said "Give me that baby!") to hold Haden in the driver's seat and take the pictures! Haden out of practice with Daddy went right for the stearing wheel! Now let me clear this up, I do not... DO NOT ride around town with my son in my lap like Britney Spears... but we do sit behind the wheel and occasionally, as in once ride around the block.

Haden, I think, had a blast at the track. We look forward to his Jr. Dragster career starting up in a few years. lol.
