1 year old... and before.

So the rule that my grandma made was a kid couldn't get there first hair cut until they turned 1. We went as close as we could to his birthday. We took family pictures and I wanted it cut before. Let me answer your question. (did he throw a fit getting it cut?) Yes in deed. I think we gave him all we had available to keep him entertained. Picks, combs, treats, hair clips, you name it. It wasn't working. But we got it done and he looked so grown up. He wasn't my baby anymore. Here is a few pictures for you.

Here goes the first cut.

One of the many toys

 

Look at how much she is cutting off. The sad thing is, he is
almost ready for another cut.

Told you we were trying anything and everything lol

Tooth brushes

All done.. Not very happy is he?

One really? It seems like just yesterday that we were meeting with his birth mom, meeting him for the first time, making all the trips to see him, finally bringing him home, the first few weeks of sleepless night to the smiles, the laughs, to the first teeth (they come in as twos, he has 6 now). I can't wait to see what the next year brings. Time sure does fly by.

So we had a birthday party Saturday with lots of friends and family to celebrate. I think I've mentioned it before but this kid is spoiled. You'll see in the pictures. And of course we let him dig into his own cake. At first he didn't know what to think of how it felt but that didn't last long. He jumped on in and went to town. He was so proud of himself. I think he would've ate the whole thing if I would've let him. I knew we were going to pay for this in the first place. A big thanks to those who joined us in this celebration.

Hayden's very own cake.

All of the cousins and friends helped him open his presents

Help this one is to big.

He was sooo excited when we sang to him.

Let the fun begin.

Soooo excited...

One Happy Boy.

Myself, Kyle, Hayden, And his birth mom Lara it was so nice to have her there.

Told you he was spoiled

He loves his toys.

I know these are a little in the past but still good one. In the month of October we did nothing but hunt. I was able to bag my buck as you seen but Kyle still has his tag. Hopefully he will go later this year and get one.

Here is Kyle and Hayden after a 4 wheeler ride.

This is the beginning of many rides.

It was also Hayden's first Halloween. He dressed up as a caterpillar and of course the cutest one. We went to Kyles sister house and went around with the family trick or treating. Hayden loved watching all the kids. He even lasted quit a while

Kyle and his little bug.
