An Afternoon At The Park

After going to Redding yesterday for our 20 week ultra-sound, I came home and had just enough time to take Hayden to the park for a little while. It was so warm that Hayden and I got to go in our t-shirts...who can believe it is November?!

So, Hayden has learned a new party trick...he has figured out that Boone can eat off a fork too. All he has to do is wave the food in front of Boone, and Boone gratefully accepts whatever is on the fork; grapes, avocado, bananas...anything. Boone is not picky. Shane and I are unsure who we should be telling off - Hayden for offering or Boone for accepting!..So, we just sit and giggle.

Hayden is also getting the hang of two new signs: help and all done. He can now ask for help and tell us when he is all done with his food (rather than throwing it on the floor or giving it to Boone). He is practising these new signs as well as please and thank you which he also recently mastered.

He has two favourite books: Brown Bear, Brown Bear and Go Dogs Go! He can sound out the words in the titles so that they are very nearly recognizable...he is starting to talk! He walks around with his pretend cell phone and talks into it non-stop. He has his own language and is really quite articulate!

Hayden started the week off not feeling well. At first, Shane and I thought he was going down with a cold or he was having a reaction to his flu shots he got on Friday; however, now that the drool has started, we realize that he is probably teething. He is feeling much better now...and the drool level has us wondering if Hayden is getting dehydrated!

On another note, Hayden and I are heading to Florida on Friday. I am uncertain if I will have access to a computer...so I am unsure if I will be able to update the blog. Keep checking and I will post as soon as I can!!
