Getting His First Tooth

Lately Hayden has been chewing and sucking on anything he can get his chubby little fingers around. So, I knew a tooth was coming...yesterday I found it! One of his front, bottom teeth has cracked the surface of his gums and I can feel the edges of his brand new tooth. I am still struggling to believe that he is old enough to be cutting teeth. He has been very good through out the experience...no fevers, no runny nose, no crying and no fussing at all.

I took Hayden to Redding with me yesterday for our first solo grocery getting experience. Up until yesterday I have always had support (i.e. Shane!) there to help in case Hayden has a melt down or some other catastrophe occurs. All I can say is there are not enough "very's" in the world to describe how very good Hayden was. He slept most of the way there...cooed and giggled around both stores I had to go to (even flirted with whoever made eye contact with him) and then slept on the way home. I was so tickled! It was amazing. I am very, very proud of him.

The rest of the weekend was spent playing in his jumper, playing on the floor (he is 'this close' to being able to roll consistently from back to belly without getting stuck on his arm), talking to both sets of grandparents over Skype and napping.
