Dear Hayden,

It's hard to put into words just how much we love you! You are the sweetest, chubbiest, most darling thing ever & I know I have said this before, but I already can't imagine my life without you in it! Your big sisters just adore you and we can all tell that you feel the same way about them. Thank you for being so patient with them when they constantly smother you with kisses - they just can't get enough of you I guess. Your daddy and I can't stop smiling whenever we talk about you and how fast you are growing up already. Did you know that you and your big sister, Beny are able to share some outfits? I think that you guys might both start wearing size 3 diapers here pretty soon too! Oh Hayden, you are just too perfect! Thank you for making us so very happy, I'm smiling right this very moment thinking about you sleeping so peacefully in your cozy crib. I am one lucky mother to have you and your sisters as my daughters. You are such a good baby and I am so thankful for just how wonderful you really are! We can't wait to continue to watch you grow and develop and soon you too will be running around all over the place with your big sisters. Just please don't grow up too fast - I am loving you just the way you are right now - still tiny enough for me to hold in my arms!

Love, Mom

P.S. You had your 2 month check up last week and you are growing just perfectly! You were 13 lbs. 8.5 oz and 24 inches long! That puts you in the 95% size range of both categories! We are so proud of you!

We love talking with you these days and smiling back and forth. You are just too cute!

I absolutely LOVE staring at you! Your eyes sparkle and your smile is too die for! You make so many different faces and I especially love when you raise your eyebrows. We also love squeezing your puffy cheeks!

You love to be around your sisters and you spend as much time as you possibly can with them! They help me so much with taking good care of you! We just love you to pieces, Hayden!

Colorado is BEAUTIFUL!

It really is! I grew up in such an incredible place and I realize it more and more every time we go back to visit. This trip was an especially great one for so many reasons, from the weather being perfect (warm during the day and rain showers late afternoon & at night - LOVE THAT) to getting to do so many fun things, it was a trip that I will always remember!

Me with two beautiful little girls!

Tay running around in her swimsuit (surprise, surprise). She climbed up on the fence to see a deer standing right behind my parents house. Of course, right when I grabbed the camera it ran off.

Jord just waiting patiently for all 6 girls in the house to get ready (Me, my girls + Paige & my mom). What a good sport!

Bentley is growing up so much these days! I love listening to her sweet voice sing and talk ALL the time!

Legs never looked so chubby in these socks (at least not in our house).

The girls all crashed in the car one day when we went shopping. My mom and I were trying to figure out what we were going to do with all of them with just the two of us since my kids usually stay asleep even when you move them! We made it work and it was so fun!

They finally woke up and enjoyed some shopping!

We went miniature golfing one afternoon and it was a lot of fun, especially watching Taylor want to go 30 times on each hole and not letting us help her because she wanted to do it all by herself. That kid is something else! Hayden had the best score and beat us all!

I seriously love getting this little girl dressed. She already wears 6-9 month clothes and is no joke sharing some outfits with Bentley.

Ready to go to The Denver Zoo

Hayden is such a good baby and just went along for the ride. I don't think she got to see a single animal since she slept the entire time, but we will definitely go again! The Denver Zoo is AMAZING!

Paige with the Zebras

The girls really liked the tigers. Bentley couldn't believe how close she got to see them. She kept saying, "WOW! Grrrrr!"

The giraffe's - there were lots of babies and they were all so cute!

We also saw the polar bears, probably my favorite exhibit at the Denver Zoo.

All these pics are from the tropical rainforest's exhibit. I had never seen it before & we enjoyed looking at all the fish, alligators, turtles and stuff like that.

We also really liked the big horn sheep and Taylor wanted to see the buffalo. Probably because she loves going to see these guys that live behind my parents house.........

They really are incredible creatures!

I love this picture! Jord & Hayden taking a nap together, but Hayden has more of the couch than Jordan does!

Great memories! We went to King Soopers and got a cherry chip cookie. They give them out to kids for free! I used to LOVE getting them!

Breakfast the morning that we headed back home! It was such a FUN trip and we didn't want to leave. Thanks, Mom & Dad for making everything so wonderful!
