Six Months!

This Sunday evening Hayden started sitting up by himself! It was very exciting to see him suddenly figure out that he could do it by himself, and now he prefers to play while sitting up.  Of course, he doesn't have his balance yet, so there have been numerous head bumps when he tips over, but that won't stop him!

This week we set up the tent for a few days.  Kylie always loves the tent, but this was Hayden's first real time playing with it.  He absolutely loved it and you would be hard pressed to keep him out of it - which Kylie tried to do at the beginning but eventually had to give up and let him play inside.

The days have gotten so hot now that we only have been making it outside to go swimming, which we do at least every other day.  I'm getting a nice tan - my two ginger children are not.  Haha, poor things.  At least I smother them with sunblock so they don't get a burn.

So when we aren't swimming we are playing inside and getting bored of all our toys.  For a fun activity one day we painted rocks; Kylie has plenty of rocks that she picks up everyday and are in her 'rock collection' box out front.  She had lots of fun mixing all the colors and totally loading up the brush with paint.

Hayden is still having fun trying new foods, and Kylie loves to share her food with him - especially food she doesn't want to eat herself.  This week he tried a Cheeto, and he absolutely loved the nectarine I gave him.

Towards the end of the week Hayden also started crawling!!  It usually isn't for very long, but at least he is figuring out how to move around on his hands and knees instead of scooting around everywhere on his belly.  He also turned six months this past Friday!  It's crazy how old and big he is now!
