My little man



Hayden is definitely a handful. Albeit a fun handful.
Here are some reasons...


Things Hayden has done to torture other kids:

Stick his arm down the arm of their shirt.

Stick his bare Butt in their face and wiggle it.

Tell them No over and over again.

Straddle them when they are using the ipad.

Bear hug them from behind.

Point his finger at them.

Dumped a whole bucket of sand on his cousin

Beats up their imaginary friend.

peed on someone


Some misc Hayden funnies:

is constantly naked

Hates socks and shoes

when he poops in the toilet he calls his poop alligators (not sure why)

Hates if you call him a bad boy. He goes nuts

rubbed his peep on his dad and said "daddy my cock and balls are on you!"

can't say cement mixer. Says Mexico.

Calls pierogis (which he can eat like 10 of) Hoagies

Calls Amelia "Amia"

got mad at me and ran and locked himself in amelia's room while she was napping and got in her crib.

Has been caught peeing outside.

likes to shake his butt and say shake your booty


Besides his craziness he really is a sweetie. He tells me all the time when I have been gone for work or soccer that he misses me. He will tell Mike this also. He is good with the I love you's also. He likes to cuddle with us or sit on my lap. And he loves for us to tell him stories. He loves to help with whatever we are doing... cooking, dishes, cutting grass, tending the garden, etc. We have been having a lot of fun with him lately. I can't believe he is almost 3.

Amelia at 6 months:

can sit up on her own but will topple over if you aren't watching

enjoys her bath if it is full of bubbles

9 month clothing seems to fit best. somme 6-9 but most are small

is huge. long and solid! such squishy thighs

everyone loves her 2 dimples. She shows them often since she smiles a lot

only wants solid foods. i have to force a bottle lately. she really wants what we are eating.

her night time sleep always varies. no consistency. but she goes back to sleep quick if she wakes up

Steeler Sunday



Every year since Hayden was born we take a family Steeler picture on the couch. Not sure how or why it started but it's a new tradition. Hopefully the Steelers play better this week.

Soccer



Soccer season is in full swing. Last week the team had 3 articles. We also had our 5v5 tournament where the girls make their uniforms.

Missing Summer



It was just in the high 90's here on Saturday and we went to the wave pool one last time. It has been chilly and rainy since. Boo. We miss summer already.

Oops!



Hayden went to practice with me last week I lock the gate and he is free to roam around the field. This time he liked looking at the football equipment. I lost track of him while doing a drill with the girls. Then I couldn't find him. It turns out he had locked himself in the football shed and was in there crying for at least 10 minutes. I felt so bad for him. It was so hot there. He was definitely traumatized and I had to hold him most of the practice. Sorry buddy! I felt like Mom of the Year :(
