Pop's Birthday

We celebrated Pop's birthday and got to visit with Aunt Patsy and Uncle Malcolm too. I think everyone enjoyed our entertainment! I told Pop that we all knew it was his birthday... but he wasn't the star of the show! Pop enjoyed our visit and we all enjoyed our cake!





Hayes isn't too sure about Uncle Malcolm. He's making that old man face!



Mom/BeBe helped Pop blow out his candles!



Hayes is fascinated with the large television on his level at Granny's house. He thinks it is FANTASTIC!

October 2010

Hayes has quite an enjoyable bath experience. He spends time rolling around, playing with his bath toys, and entertaining us all. He's so sweet. His spirit and endless supply of energy keep us all on our toes! I have a feeling I'm going to be chasing him a lot more once he realizes those feet are fo running...

Visit with PJ

Aunt Paige and Uncle Jim came to visit from Arizona! I'm pretty sure Hayes had them mesmerized with that big smile and those blue eyes. He's quite the charmer. He wasn't too sure about Jim and his scruff... but eventually he warmed up to that sweet man. Aunt Paige was the focus of his attention. Hayes has really enjoyed learning how to manipulate his walker and scoot around the house. Thanks BeBe for the PIG shirt! It is one of mom's favorites!

Adventure with the Great Grands

We journeyed to Carrollton to have dinner with Papaw and Grandma! Hayes found that Grandma's catch all ottoman/table in the living room was PERFECT height for him to destroy. He climbed up and around and all over it! He also threw everything off of it and into the floor. After he ate, entertained, and destroyed... he played with Riley the wonder dog! Riley loved chasing his leash in circles and Hayes giggled. Hayes also got stuck in the middle of the Riley circle and he laughed the whole time. I do believe they enjoyed each other.

Let the crawling begin!

Sweet baby Hayes has learned to crawl. He propels himself forward like a little inch worm with feet first then hands. Sometimes he actually uses his knees to go forward... but more often than not... he uses those toes! He chases Lucy around the house, always in pursuit of her tail. He will follow you up and down the hall trying to catch you and climb up your legs. He also likes to play with the air vents and squeals when they start to blow out air. I think his favorite thing to crawl and attack are the DVD cases on the bottom shelf of the armoir in the living room. We will be investing some dollars in the safety gates this weekend! Guess it is time to break out those outlet covers and cabinet locks too?!

Drive in Dinner

Tuesday night dinner with grandma and he gets the royal treatment. Hayes loves his grandma and she loves him!

Sheriff Hayes

Little boy is quite the charmer! He grins at everyone he meets and does not seem to be bothered by strangers. He flirts with anyone who will smile back to him--especially the ladies. He's so sweet. This week he decided to try out the Sheriff hat at Pawpaw and Mawmaw's house. He turned it sideways in his own style and modeled it for the camera!
