Hayden's 1 month update

Well - I guess I've been busy. I know I hadn't updated, but man it's been a while...

So right after I posted the last blog, Chris's parents came out to visit and the photographer must have been super busy since I seemed to have forgotten to take photos. Chris and Rusty went to several Spring Training games and a Coyotes hockey game. They had great seats to the hockey game! Linda enjoyed playing with Ryleigh and cuddling with Hayden. We all took a hike up Thunderbird park. Linda, Ryleigh, Hayden and I went to a musical at the high school my mom works at "Seussical the Musical." It was really good. Ryleigh enjoyed it and Hayden slept through the whole thing.

Hayden had his first real bath. He enjoys the bath for the most part. Nowadays he's able to take a bath with Ryleigh, which she gets a kick out of.

Before we knew it, Hayden was ONE month old!! When you watch a newborn grow, it's amazing how quickly time flies.

He's started to smirk/smile around 4-5 weeks old. And not just in his sleep.

Ryleigh loves to hold him using her old boppy.

Here's Hayden's 1 month update: 

He was 9 pounds, 3.5 ounces (up almost 2 pounds since birth) - 25.88%
He was 22 inches long (grew 1/2") - 81.12%
Head Circumference was 14.5 (grew 1/2") - 51.13%

He's doing well developmentally. Tracking objects. Lifting his head great. He pretty much holds his head up on his own about 80% of the time. He knows my voice and his tone of crying changes when I'm nearby. He is still super easy going.

In the past month he has:
Grown from newborn to size 1 diapers.
Is outgrowing his newborn clothing. Still fits in some Newborn sleepers and pants, but quickly moving up into the 3 months.
Went to his first race to cheer on his daddy. 
Has visited Mommy's work.
Has visited Daddy's work, and got held by EVERYONE. 
Watched his sister dance - several times. 
Visited Mommy's work - again to see Mommy's students. 
Had his first bath - didn't cry at all! I'd almost say he liked it! 
He's been to the mall, followed by dinner out at Applebees.
He hiked Thunderbird mountain in the BOB 
He visited his grandma's work. 
He's been to a musical at my mom's high school.
I'd say this kid gets around!
