Newest Milestone

Today Hayden sat up on her own for the first time.

Solids and Shots

So Hayden had her four month well baby doctor visit today. We found out she is a rather large girl with a fairly small head. She is in the 95th percentile for height, 90th for weight and 45th for head size :) We were also given the ok to start her on solids, so the first thing we did when Colin got home from work was buy some rice cereal and try it out. I have to admit is wasn't quite as exciting as I thought it was going to be. She really didn't like the whole process . We would put it in her mouth, she would move it around for a minute and then spit it out. By the end there was rice cereal on her, me, Colin and the floor; we are fine with just giving her formula for a while longer!! She got her shots today as well. Luckily I have the best husband ever, he took work off to come and be with her while she got them. Last time it was way to traumatic for me, so we decided that will be Colin's job from now on. I am so happy to have another set of shots out of the way and am so relieved that she is growing and developing the way she is supposed to be. It is such a blessing to have a healthy child!!

Poor little chubby legs!!

Yummy!!

Poll

Colin and I have a bet going on to see which song more people know. Take our poll so I can prove to Colin that I am right!!

Yeah, Another One!!

Ok...so I found another one of things and once again I didn't get tagged, but I like doing them! Plus someday I hope to print this blog off, so I guess this is more for myself than for anyone else. I will change it a little though, this time I am not going to do it about myself, it will be about Colin, there is no way he would ever take the time to fill this out. We'll see how much I know about him.

Presidents Day at the Zoo

We have been wanting to go to the zoo since we moved here. It is only a couple of miles from where we live, so we had no excuse not to go. We really didn't really know what to expect after our Zoolights experience, but it turned out to be a lot of fun. We were able to see a lot of animals and probably even more LDS people...they were everywhere!! We always try to spot Mormons or people from Utah, it's not too hard down here. Anyways, it turned out to be great day and we have had a change of heart about the Phoenix Zoo!

On our way...she was thrilled!
Aren't Giraffes amazing animals, they seem so prehistoric to me.
Us and a baboon.
After an hour and a half she was exausted.
These turtle were so huge!! We actually saw them moving around, which I think is pretty rare.

The sweetest little baby Orangutan . After I took this picture it climbed up and got its little blankie and started playing, the mom just watched every move it made. It was so cute!!

The Girl With Many Talents

When we are bored we think it fun to dress Hayden up and take pictures of her. I don't know how fun she thinks it is though!

Fun Weekend

My friend Janice and her boyfriend Jake came down to visit us this weekend.We had a great time with them . The weather was great so we were able to do a lot of fun things. Friday we went swimming and played miniature golf. Saturday we went to a place called Rawhide. It is a little western town with cute little shops and restaurants. It was really fun. Janice and I rode a camel, it cost $5 for about a minute and a half ride, but I guess it was worth it to be able to say I have ridden a camel! :) We talked to the guy who owned the camel and asked him where he got him. He said he goes to Australia every year and gets about 60 camels and ships them back to the U.S. by boat. After that I don't know what he does with them, but he said down there you if you can catch them you can have them for free. I thought that was kind of interesting. Also Saturday night Hayden was being a little fussy. Normally she is so happy so I thought I would check to see if she was getting teeth and sure enough she has two little teeth coming in on the bottom. Colin and I were so excited! I think Janice and Jake thought we were a little ridiculous. :)

Hayden's New Trick!

Super Bowl and Snow

Last week I was able to go to Blanding and spend some time with my parents, Denim, Sandi and their girls. It was so nice to have people to hang out with during the day. Colin was able to come up on Friday after work and stay for a few days. Saturday it snowed quite a bit so we got out the four wheelers and went sledding. Colin was very happy because he got to snowboard behind the four wheeler...thats the closest he is going to get to snowboarding this year! Sunday we had a Super Bowl party with lots of good food and good entertainment! The game turned out to be really exciting with the Giants coming out with the win. Sandi & I were the only true Giants fans and the only ones who believed in them from the beginning. It snowed all day Sunday so we were a little scared we wouldn't be able to leave the next day, but sadly enough we woke up to blue skys Monday morning! :( We had a great drive back to Phoenix and are happy to be back to 60 degree weather.
