One and a Half

It is hard to believe that Hayden is now a full year and a half. She is progressing quickly. After dinner she grabs a broom and "sweeps" the kitchen floor. When it is time for bed we tell her to put her toys away and she does. We will try and remember this time when she is older as we're sure it won't last.

One of her main traits at this point is that she loves being around us. It has good and bad points. It is great when she runs up to us and says, "Dada!" or, "Mama!" and gives us a big hug. She'll sit on our laps and follow us everywhere. It is more difficult when we put her to bed and she cries since she misses us.

We had a couple of birthdays for friends' kids since our last post, and both were a lot of fun. These kids are growing up fast.

Enjoy the photos and the videos.

Halloween 2009

Halloween has come and gone and it was great in the Wolach household. First, the weather here has cooled off and we can now drive with our windows and moonroofs open. Yipee!

For Halloween, Hayden was a Ladybug and was adorable - yes, we are biased. After seeing what all the comotion was about, she picked up the whole trick or treat thing quite well. "You mean I just go up to these people and they give me candy???"

3 yr old friend Alden Coy was a good role model as the 2 went around the neighborhood with the parents. Hayden even decided she liked it so much that she would invite herself into the houses when people opened the door. She would walk right in before we could hold her back. She held up pretty well but got tired at the end. The best part was that she is too young for candy so Mommy and Daddy reaped her treasure.

We have also been going to the park a lot as she has a newfound love for slides. She can go up the stairs and down the slide by herself, though we still make sure we are near her so that we don't have a panic attack.

She is very adventurous as she loves to climb everywhere. The other day we turned our heads for 2 seconds and she was standing on top of the kitchen table. Nice parenting that was.

Anyway, enjoy the photos and the videos. Thanks for the comments.
