Supported Standing

So last week Hayden learned how to sit by himself and crawl.  This week he seems to have perfected both of those.  He no longer falls over when he sits by himself, and he is no longer scooting anywhere - he always crawls.  Gah! He is getting so big!!

On Monday Uncle Jordan came down and has been staying with us while he 'interns' at Brandon's business.  Kylie has been super excited to have him here with us and basically never leaves him alone.  Hayden has also gotten used to him being around.  We are having lots of fun hanging out with him.

Luckily, for Uncle Jordan, he gets to go to work with Brandon every day to get away from Kylie.  So we do our normal routine, only it has been getting super dang hot so I have been slacking on getting out for walks.  But we still do a lot of swimming!

Now that Hayden has mastered sitting and crawling he has been anxious to move on to the next painful skill: supported standing.  Seriously, in the past few weeks he has bonked his head 20+ times a day figuring out his balance.  It's a good thing babies are made of rubber.  (Or so it seems sometimes...)  He will scan the room and find anything to practice this new skill on, even if he has to crawl across the entire room to get to it.  He also likes to walk, and in fact is loving this walking/standing bit so much that he sometimes refuses to sit down and it drives me crazy!
