I can't believe Hayden is 12 weeks old...

Sorry it has been a little while since the last update, but things have been a bit crazy around here. Hayden turned 12 weeks old today and I just can't believe it. It seems like time is flying!! So much changes with Hayden everyday. He is keeping us SUPER busy! Over the past few weeks I have been noticing more and more of a personality coming out in him which has been fun(and at times challenging)! He definitely knows what he likes and dislikes....

What Hayden likes:
-Meal time - The boy can eat... this is definitely his #1!
-Walking - as seen in the previous post!
-Sucking his fist
-Holding/sucking his lovie
-Being held facing the world - so he can see everything
-Bath time
-Smiling/Laughing
-Talking/Cooing - especially when you talk back!
-Mornings - just like his Mommy!
-Mirrors - he loves seeing himself!!!!
-Bright lights - this might even be a LOVE!
-His swing and his bouncer
-Watching/helping Sydney play with her toys
-Riding in the car
-Attention - this may be a LOVE as well!
-Strolling - he usually falls asleep when we go on walks, so I consider it a like!
-Bedtime - I know it's weird but he really loves going to bed(if you try to put him to bed late he even lets you know you have waited too long!!)

What Hayden dislikes:
-Burping - so he loves eating, but he hates the burping part
-Tummy time
-Being held like a "baby" - unless he is tired, in which case it helps him get to sleep
-Putting on lotion after his bath
-Having a dirty diaper - he lets you know the minute it is dirty, and expects to be changed immediately!
-Late afternoons - this is the time he is most fussy
-Sydney giving him kisses - he gets the cute pout on his face when she does this!
-Being buckled into his car seat - loves the ride, hates getting ready for it!
-Alone time - if he is awake he does not even want to swing alone, he wants you to watch him swing!!!
-Nap time - contrary to bedtime, the child does not enjoy naps(I think he thinks he may miss something!!)

What Hayden is not sure about:
- His pacifier - one minute he NEEDS it, the next he is spitting it out!
- Taking pictures - one day I am certain he loves the camera and the next I am certain he hates it(maybe it is just me going crazy!!!)
- Church - so far he cries as soon as we enter the building(very embarrassing I might add!!), but seems to like the music okay!
- Visitors - sometimes he likes them and sometimes not so much!!
- His tummy/play mats - maybe he just has to get used to them?!?

Well, now that you know just about all there is to know about Hayden at 12 weeks, I guess you want to see him!

Look at my tongue Mama!

I think he was doing the itsy bitsy spider here...

Hayden mid-sneeze!!!

Reaching to give his Mommy a hug on Valentine's Day(at least that's what I like to think!)

Obviously Hayden and Sydney were not too excited about taking this pic!

You have no idea how fast time goes by!! Take plenty of pictures and keep good notes. It is fun reading them in a couple of years! You're doing a great job so far!
