Well it was a interesting weekend. It was hard because Hayden has been rather naughty. But we know what that means, he is not feeling well. He hasn't been eating or drinking very well either. Sleep, who needs it! Jason and I now know that having a newborn is not in the near future! We were SOOO sleep deprived. I like sleep too much! He also has been throwing mondo tantums. Me thinking as me, thinks that he doesn't know how to soothe himself anymore because that was what Buffy was for. Daddy doesn't think so. I gave in a couple times (Don't tell Jason!!!!) this weekend begging him to take his buffy, but he won't take it. He has been officially Buffy free since wednesday morning. I feel bad for the guy! Those Daddies are mean sometimes!!!! But i guess we know who the weak one in the family is, me! I told Hayden that we gave the buffies to baby Hudsen and baby Lily (Lilly??) and he is very okay with that! But we spent the weekend pretty laid back. We got to go play in the large amount of snow! That was fun, Hayden had a blast. Please hope and pray that Hayden isn't going to get really sick and gets better at sleeping! Have a great week!

Day 4
We are going to make it after all!!!! No buffy at ALL for the last 48+ hours. He's being so good! Yeah for Hayden! He hasn't even really asked for it today! He's awesome. I guess i should give Jason all the credit for this. He's Super Dad!

Bye Old Friend!
Day Three: We have made it the first 24 hours with little conflict. Last night it was a nightmare. But nothing a little licorice couldn't solve. It's gone. All thanks to Jason. What is? Hayden's Buffy aka the pacifier! I didn't think it could be done. But i was wrong. We told him everyday he goes without it we'll give him a box of tic tacs, or has he wrongly calls them Certs. This is what Grandpa Mike ALWAYS has. And since telling Hayden No is rather hard thing to do for him, Hayden has kinda taken over them. But now he is very proud to have his own! Wish us luck! Pray that this can actually happen and I wouldn't crumble to that very cute face, saying pa-pa-pa-please!

Well Jason is home! He had a rough time with Chicago taking off the plane was 40 minutes late leaving the airport and he only had 45 minutes in between his flight to Duluth. But the nice people that NWA are held the Duluth plane until he was on the plane. There were like 10 people on the Chicago flight flying to Duluth and that just about doubled the amount of people on the plane to Duluth. So that was great! Hayden and I got to see his plane come into Duluth with a giant bump. Jason said he felt like a basketball hitting the runaway. It was weird watching it bounce. But he's home with all his luggage and everything! He had a great time and learned a lot! He also made the Dean's List. Which means he got 90% or better on his assessment. Only about 20 people did out of like 125! He knows his stuff.
So Hayden never fails to amaze me! Yesterday we were just hanging around the house being lazy and he brought me the phone and showed me the "2". I was like wow good job. Then later we were looking at some other numbers and he would point and tell what number it was. I was jaw dropping shocked. I have NEVER worked with him on sight recognition with his numbers. But sure enough he knows 0-10. I am thinking it's from his Elmo movie that they count down from 10-1 like 80 times in the 1/2 movie. But i can't believe how fast he picked that up. He just got the movie for Christmas and it's not like he watches that one everyday! Ahhh I am so easy to impress!
Mommy went shopping again this weekend! Gymboree was having a HUGE sale where everything was 20% off reduced prices plus i had another 20% off coupon so i bought a huge bag full of stuff for $50.60 which then i received $25.00 in Gymbucks! I bought some baby clothes for Angie's newest baby, Lily who is going to arrive Friday! And Jennifer and Neil's son Hudson. Who we were having a shower for on Friday! I got a little carried away for Angie but i can't turn down cute girls clothes! Hopefully we wouldn't have a girl ever or Jason will need to get a second job!
Well I hope everyone had a great weekend! Have a great work week! Special thanks to Smith for the super cute clothes she bought for Hayden on her girls weekend!
Here is a super cheesy smile from Hayden! Please note the huge Afro he has. Mommy used her curl shampoo on him!

Shopping!
Well the week is almost over! It's been tough. Hayden has been incredibly bipolar this week. Nights have been rough. He wakes up and wants Jason, he needs to know where he is and asks about 3 times before he falls back asleep on Wednesday night he did this 5 times in the night. I had to work at 7! My dad watched him yesterday while i worked the morning shift at the school. Hayden didn't go back to sleep! I felt SO bad. It's rough to get up and watch him in the morning when you are tired because he isn't! I guess he was a stinker for him too. Well after work i had grand plans to spend the afternoon shopping. Old Navy was having an in season sale and i wanted a few things for the Hay. But i did not feel good at all when i was done with work so we came home and took a nap. It was great! 3 hours of afternoon nap! There is not anything better to me i love naps. We did get to go shopping after we brought Brandon to basketball. I got the CUTEST outfit for him. I am going to try and book a photo session with Nicole Marie in this outfit for the spring, i want them outdoors. He looks just like a little model. We also bought new swim trunks and swim shirt. I love the Old Navy Rash Guard shirts Hayden seems to stay warmer while he swims and looks cute! We also went to Target to test drive the new stroller i want. It's super nice! Its taller for Jason and I and it goes to 55 pounds where most other strollers go to 40, so its nice and roomy for Hayden. But the reason i really want it it weighs just under 9 pounds and folds really small for traveling. There is also an accessory pack that includes a travel bag, seat cover, and rain guard. I love it! I just hope Jason likes it. I want him to test it too before i buy it. I found a pretty good deal online w/free shipping. Here's a picture of it:
Here is a little message from Hayden: hwwwwghhgggggggggggggggggaaatyyyydenn bddjhjjkjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj

♥Happy Valentine's Day ♥
Happy Valentine's Day! Hayden bought me the prettiest flowers ever! He is very very proud of them! We had to put them down lower so i didn't have to lift him up every 5 minutes! Hayden received mail(his favorite thing i think) a book called Bear Hugs, and an Elmo tin of cookies. We love him lots!
