It seems like every day Hayden grows up just a little bit more...time is flying by so fast. With time Hayden is slowly growing out of his colic and is crying less and less. He is becoming quite a happy baby, which makes for a happy momma!
The picture above is Hayden at 12 weeks, he loves to sit in his Bumbo chair when I am cooking in the kitchen and keeps me company.
We finally have a schedule down put so there is a little less chaos in our lives! Hayden loves to takes baths at night as part of our bedtime routine...which in turn leads to less crying in the evenings (we still have about an hour of fussiness, but I am not complaining).
As you can tell Tucker was really enjoying me torturing him with picture time!
This is my favorite face ever, it is Hayden giving me a giant shit eating grin! I need those big grins lately because it has been a busy couple of weeks. I have had to train a lady at work for about 6 hours a day. Because Hayden is on a schedule, it hasn't been too hard because he takes a solid 2 hour nap in the afternoon. It has been hard for me to train because a) I don't like to give up control of things, b) not everyone is a perfectionist like me so they don't do everything as perfectly as I want them too, c) I want to give Hayden as much of my attention as I can so I only want to give directions once, and d) if I am training then I can't get my work done which means I have to work twice as hard. But it is a good reminder that I am very fortunate that I don't have to go back to work full time and I need to work smarter not harder! Chris has been home these past few weeks and has had a good glimpse into what my life has been like for the past few months. He would never admit to how much work it is to take care of a "fussy" baby, but he gets exhausted after a few hours with Hayden; I can't help but laugh and think geez try all day and night, I don't think we get enough credit for what we do as moms!

Wow, he looks so big in these pictures! I hope the woman is able to hit the ground running. I know that is frustrating. I know it is tiring dealing with a "fussy" baby, but you are obviously doing an amazing job! Staying at home, squeezing in work, cooking, cleaning...YOU ARE SUPER MOM!
Girl-I have been there! Seriously though, they all have their turn! The good news is that Ellison was my fussy baby but now she is my easy toddler! The reverse was true for Thomas-he was SO easy as a baby & well let's just say he is FINALLY acting human now! Hopefully the same will hold true for Hayden! Hang in there!!!
Megan? A perfectionist? No! Hayden looks more and more like Chris everyday. He is adorable! I love seeing pictures of him. Can't wait to meet the little guy!
Way to go baby Megs... so hard to see you in the new role! Wow! I know your mom is old, but me? Never! I can't believe I get to add this to my ever growing list of things I am missing in Fairbanks! And I am feeling such a slouch since I haven't touched my blog in weeks and weeks... and I haven't been cooking or taking care of that cute little guy! Way to go! Miss you both, well you more than Chris! Hugs~
