November

Audrey has been growing like a weed. Many days I ponder where my little newborn baby went? I have made a promise to myself for the 2nd time around to enjoy getting up at every three hours in the night.  Audrey is loving her oatmeal!

Audrey really enjoys going to volleyball games, see the picture below, she has started practicing at home.

Both Becca and Ruth's team made it to State. This will be the 2nd time they are both at state with their teams, at the same time! Congrats to both of them!

Things Audi enjoys at 4 1/2 months...
- Playing with toys on her belly.
- Her Jumperroo
- Swinging in her swing...even though it goes slower now due to her weight!
- Being outside
- Watching other kids play

:)

Update

Audrey's 4 month check up--

Weight- 16.11 pounds--96.4%
Length- 27 inches long--99.6%
Head- 93%, was at 36% at 2 months

She took her shots like a champ, cried a little while. She thought her dad gave her the shots as she would not look at him for at least 3 minutes.

Audrey also started eating cereal at 4 months. Her pediatrician recommends to start introducing solids between the 5th/6th month, but with Audi's early development and sleeping going backwards (she get's up between 1-3 times a nigh, used to sleep 9 hours straight) she gave us the go-ahead if we wished to start cereal.

Life is good here in Delano.

Rolling Over!!

Audi is a rolling machine! [wpvideo o3SXFC2r]

Congratulations Matthew and Chantel

Congratulations to Matthew and Chantel Vatnsdal this weekend as they start their new life together!  We enjoyed visiting Marshall and celebrating the marriage. In addition to being a part of your wedding, we also enjoyed spending the weekend with the family that was able to attend.

Big week! Then backwards we go!

It's been a big week at the Hayden household. On Sunday September 26th, 2010 Audrey rolled over for the first time, belly to back. I believe it was completely on accident, but she did it! Today, September 29th, 2010, was also the first time Audrey had any interest in playing with the toys hanging from her activity mat.

Now for the backwards part....little Miss. Audrey is doing great at child care with taking naps. At home she has changed. Lately her thing is to wake up during the night once (she had been sleeping through the night for a while now) and then she doesn't want to take a nap in the evenings anymore. :) But life is still good!

I've been on an apple kick lately!  This week I've made apple crisp and now tonight I'm trying a new apple cake with warm butter sauce!

Here are some videos of Audrey at 3 months old.

Fall=School=Busy

Welcome back to fall! Our little family has been busy adjusting back into the groove of school. Audrey has been adjusting to child care at Wendy's great! I wake her up each morning at 6 oclock to eat and get dressed, she decides to stay awake and play with me until it's time to leave. Once we are on our way to Wendy's she falls back asleep for another hour or two. This week is the first week Audrey has been taking naps on her own during the day (putting herself to sleep if we lay her in the crib). Audrey has been a rockstar sleeper at night, she typically sleeps from 8:30/9:30pm- until I wake her up at 6.

Audrey has been to 15+ volleyball games between Delano/Ada/Thief River Falls games. A lady at the game last night commented on how well she was doing at the game. I replied, "she has no choice to like this sport or not."

School has been going excellent for both Kenneth and I. We both are commuting about 25 minutes to work. I'm at Waconia this fall, doing some student teaching. I decided while I have the time and energy now to add my Elementary license as well, so I needed to do some more student teaching in 3rd grade. Come May time, I will have three different licensures. Wow. I don't think I ever thought in my wildest dreams, one day I'd have three college degrees! What will I go to school for next :) (I already know :) ). HA!

Kenneth is enjoying STMA! He has also taken on the role of announcer and score keeper at the Delano Volleyball games! He is taking after his father!!!

Hope all is well~

Labor Day Weekend

We have enjoyed our weekend with post sets of parents down in Delano. We of course had to have a tournament of bean bag toss, Kenneth & I won! I will admit I was on fire like never before! Here are some pictures from the weekend. We took Sam to the Minnesota Twins game on Sunday for his birthday. We even got to watch an old timer game, which included some of the greatest twins players!  We even got some cool hats, check them out :)
