Four on the Floor

Hayden is now over 4 months old and she is developing rapidly. She now can get up on all fours and though she can't quite crawl yet, she moves around with slides, rolls, and shimmies.

She is also smiling regularly, especially when she wakes up in the morning. It seems she is a morning person.

Speaking of sleep, we are no longer putting her in the swaddle or even the sleep sack. She is now sleeping in her pajamas. It was a minor adjustment period but she loves the freedom now and more often than not, she will roll over and sleep on her stomach. The doctor (and several books and websites) says its ok for her to sleep on her stomach now that she can roll over from front to back and from back to front.

We borrowed some toys from friends so now Hayden has a jumper, a bumpo seat, and an exer-saucer to keep her entertained and she loves them so far. Mommy and Daddy also like having her keep herself occupied.

See the videos below, in one she plays with Mommy and almost laughs for the first time. In another she is playing in her bouncer and goes crazy.

Lovely Baby

Grandma Sarah took this picture a few weeks ago when she was here visiting.

This is my favorite picture of Hayden. We put it in the last slideshow but I had to post it all by itself because it's such a great shot.

How can you not love that little face?!

Football Season is Here!

So apparently we are not allowed to make the switch from weeks to months on our postings as people keep telling us we need to post more. Which makes it harder to find titles for our posts. So here we go.

It's football season.

Some people out there find little teeny clothes of a particular team, throw them on their kid, and refer to them as a "die hard fan."

We are those people.

She looks very cute in sports clothing and since it's football season, she wore her Broncos jersey and her CU Buffs shirt. What do you know, both teams won! She must be good luck. Hayden will also tend to look at the TV which has many shapes and colors moving around while making sounds (great things for babies) but since it's football that is on, her Daddy tells everyone that she "loves football."

Other notable events since the last post, she can roll over from front to back, she reaches out and grabs things with her hands, and she grabs her toes. Nice, but not as cool as her love of football, obviously.
