Haiden
Haiden and I went to the Mommy and Me class Wednesday! I always have a blast, watching Haiden watch all the little kids run around and play. He is still too small to play the games and sing the songs, but I help him out and he giggles and giggles! It's so sweet. Plus I think Haiden is a big hit with the instructors lol, they are always amazed at how big he is and how alert he is.
We did a craft, like always. We used markers to color this star, which I think is a little like coffee filter material, and then we sprinkled water on it to make the colors bleed. Haiden actually held the markers and made all the coloring himself, I just made sure...as much as I could with his spazing hands...to keep the markers on the paper and not the table, and try to keep his other hand from grabbing the star to crinkle it. He used both hands, since we aren't wanting to force either on him, we try to alternate as much as possible. If you look at the star, you can see the circles from where he would slam down the marker out of pure excitement! However, when it came to sprinkling the star with water, Haiden wanted nothing to do with that, so I ended up doing most of that part. Even though Haiden is super young to do most of the activities, I think it's important to socialize him and get him used to figuring out things for himself, with a little help from mommy :D.
As far as the eating solids goes, Haiden is doing amazing! The first try was decent, the second try (I just used rice cereal without formula) was an epic fail, eating only 3 bites. The third try, he was so aggravated from teething, that he cried and cried, but wanted to eat, so we stuck it out. When we got about half way done, he calmed down and finished eating with out any more tears. Then last night, he wanted to eat so bad, that if I didn't get the food in his mouth in time, his hand would go in and he would cry...I could barely keep up! And when his bowl was empty he cried, but he had already had his night time bottle, and I thought, 'if he eats any more he will explode!' We also got him a mini-highchair that sits on our dinning room table, which Haiden loves! I am just so proud of him, it's so hard to NOT compare your baby with all the other babies, and everything there is to read about babies. He still isn't rolling over, and it's hit or miss with him sitting up on his own, but he eats well, he is so good at holding his toys and switching them flawlessly from hand to hand. Plus he has been able to hold his head up with no problems, pretty much since he was born, as well as supporting his weight with his legs. Tummy time is getting to be more and more fun, which I'm thankful for, because knowing your baby needs to do something but he hates it and cries, is unbearable. It's all a give and take, he can do some things, but he isn't great at other things...no biggie. He is our blessing, and our miracle baby, so either way he gets kisses and hugs no matter what!!!
Zach
Zach has had security detail the last two days, which means long days (4am-6pm). He is so exhausted, but super cute, when he walks in the door and can't wait to see Haiden! Haiden gets so happy and giggley, having been sick of mommy for about 3 hours lol. Zach can't wait for the day he comes home and Haiden runs to the door yelling, "Daddy! Daddy!" The two of them together, melts my heart. I can see so much of Zach in Haiden. And today, I have also been up since Zach got up...so a long day for all of us!
