Two Years

Hayden's Birth Day





One Year Old








Two Years Old








Wow I can hardly believe that Hayden is already two! On one hand it feels like he has been a part of our life much longer than that but yet on the other it feels like we were just bringing him home from the hospital. It has been such a gift to watch him grow so much in the past two years. He went from this tiny little baby that couldn't do anything on his own to this blond haired little toddler who is walking and talking and making us laugh with what he says and does. He is this smart, beautiful, entertaining little boy that can melt your heart when he says "hold you" and calls out for his mommy and daddy. He is sweet and sensitive, loves music and dancing and for the most part wants to please. He likes to be right there helping out and doing what we are doing. Whether this is playing football with his dad or helping his Dede and Grammy cook to helping me unload the dishwasher to eating pretzels with his pee paw to watching choo choo trains with his paw paw. He certainly knows his likes and dislikes and isn't afraid to let everyone know. The last two years have gone by so fast and yet so many memories have been created. I know that Hayden won't remember any of this but these are certainly the years that neither his Dad nor I will forget. I can only look forward to the next two years to see how much more he will change and grow.

Hayden,
Your daddy and I, as well as the rest of your family, love you very much and thank God for bringing you into our lives. Happy second birthday.
Love mom and dad

Happy 2nd birthday Hayden! You had the coolest cake ever!

Dana, Your life sounds so turned upside down, I hope it calms down some soon. Usually it just suddenly does and you don't even realize how easy bedtime became again. Sounds like bedtime is heading in the right direction, you will make it out with your life!
Hope you are getting some rest and the baby is well.
Hayden is super, duper cute!
