We have had a very busy past couple of weeks. I am still waiting for pictures from family members, so when I get those I will post about our trip to Utah Valley, Blanding and the Fourth of July. In the mean time enjoy our recent fun with Hayden (aka 'Orange Slyce').
She was starting to feel a little threatened here in Phoenix, so she decided it was time to show her fellow Phoenician thugs what she's made of.
So we all know
Since Hayden was about three months old whenever strangers would look at her and talk to her she would burst into tears. Well over the past couple of months she has been doing much better except when we go to Costco. When ever we get a sample and the ladies talk to her she starts to cry and not just a little cry she acts like she has just seen a ghost!! I couldn't figure it out and thought maybe she was just scared of old ladies.
Well, yesterday we made our weekly trip to Costco and as were walking down an isle with Hayden sitting in the cart she turns around and spots the sample girl (not an old lady this time) half way down the isle. She starts shaking, tries to hold back the tears and then finally breaks down into uncontrollable sobs before we even got close her. I went and got my sample and the girl felt so bad; I told her I didn't think it was her I thought it was the hair nets they wear...I hope that made her feel better. So I'm pretty sure thats what it is, my child has a fear of hair nets!! I want to test it at home by coming out of the bathroom wearing a shower cap, but I think that would probably traumatize her for life.
Hayden's hair is finally long enough to be tamed. I can put cute little tiny barrettes in the front, but the back still sticks straight up. Hopefully it will start growing soon, it is pretty crazy! Also if you haven't noticed in some of the other pictures she has quite a few teeth, seven to be exact. They are so cute and tiny, I love them!!
Her favorite past time is playing with the door stops. I looked over today and she had pulled that white thing off the end and was just about to pop it into her mouth. Luckily I stopped her before she succeeded.
Colin and I really like traveling and since we can't afford a big trip every weekend, we try to take little trips every now and then. Today we went North to Prescott (pronounced Prescett). It is a really cute little town. They had a farmers market and a car show going on so we walked around there for a bit trying to find something for breakfast. All they had was salsa and funnel cakes so we opted for 'Gramma's bakery' down the street. We got there and she had chocolate, lemon, raspberry and custard "Napoleons." Maybe all of you know what a Napoleon is, but Colin and I didn't so I asked the "nice old lady" what they were and she acted as if I was the dumbest person she had ever met. She was like "are you kidding me, it says on the sign. Where are you from that you have never heard of a Napoleon pastry?"
Ahhhhh, sorry for asking!!!!
Needless to say we were too scared to leave so we each got one and our total came out to $9.85!! We could have got a whole meal at Denny's for that price. Anyway after that we went to a grocery store and got some Doritos because the Napoleons did not fill us up.
Prescott has a really pretty lake surrounded by pine trees, so we walked around there for awhile and ran into quite a few people fishing (aka drinking). On our way home we made a stop at the outlets to continue my search for the perfect 4th of July outfit for Hayden. I have been on a hunt for about a month now and can't seem to find a cute outfit that is conducive to a crawling baby. The other night I had a nightmare that I ended up having to go to Alco in Blanding the day before the 4th to get an outfit! Hopefully it won't come down to that!!
We had a great day in Prescott and have crossed off one more thing on our list to do in Phoenix before we move back to Utah!!
Don't you love our photography skills....and my hair!!
As of yesterday Hayden has officially started crawling. It is not the most perfect technique, but she can defiantly get where she wants to go.
