Yes, yes...I know. It has been a long time and so much has happened. Hayden is now walking, unaided. He is pretty stable on his feet most of the time and enjoys being able to bring Shane and I things while on two feet.
He still does not say much more that "What's that?"; but, he has several signs that he uses to let us know what he is thinking about or what he needs. He knows the signs for: eat, drink, light, fan, cat, dog, shoe, sock, daddy (still not doing mummy), bath and ball. He can tell you what a monkey says (oh-oh-oh) and what a cat say (e-ow). He can point to his nose, eyes, ears, teeth, feet and toes. He prefers to eat by himself; although, when preoccupied with a new toy, he will permit being spoon fed. He loves fruit and vegetables. He still has not eaten any form of refined sugar...the sweetest things he knows about are fruit and yogurts. He can eat a whole banana in two minutes flat and is developing a taste for plain water. He continues to sleep like a trooper, averaging about 16 hours a day! - Including 12 hours at night. He is growing up to be social with adults; but, a little bashful around other children...not surprising given that he has come to work with me since he was 2.5 months old and has rarely been around other children. He is learning to brush his teeth (read: suck the tooth paste off a tooth brush) and is good about putting things away and putting rubbish in the trash can. Tomatoes give him horrible diaper rash; yet, he loves to eat them. He still doesn't like toys that make any noise; but, he loves any toy that has wheels and he can push. He tends to get fixated with any new toys and he notices any small change in his surroundings. He had his fifteen month appointment last week...in three months he has grown one inch; but, only put on 7 oz. He eats us out of house and home; but, promptly burns it all off walking around. He is still the most fun anyone can ever enjoy.
The videos were taken today at the park. It was hot today - 100 degrees. Way too hot for September. We were only at the park for about an hour before Hayden's cheeks were too pink to stay any longer. I hope you like the videos. I have some pictures to post too...but those will have to wait until tomorrow.

NEW PICTURES? THAT IS GREAT! What a nice surprise as I looked today. Your doing a great job walking and climbing Hayden.Thank you for all your work keeping up on the blog Marisa. We love it.
As you say Shirley, its great to see him on the blog doing lots of things, I cannot get over how he keeps the sunglasses on, what a cool dude Hayden you are becoming. Can't wait to see Marisa and Hayden in November in Florida shame Shane will not be coming as well, we really need a chef that can use a BBQ!!!!!!!
I cannot believe he is walking! Barely two months ago he could hardly stand by himself. That is ridiculous. He's growing up too fast. Tell him to stop that.
