What a picture...

Is this not the cutest thing ever?!? I love how it just shows every little roll he has! A good friend of ours, Kahlia, is a photographer and she came to the house and took some pictures for us a little while back. We absolutely loved the pictures she took, and I couldn't wait to share them with you. Of course, I love them all(you know me!!), but it would take forever for me to upload that many, so I have just included some of our favorites. You can even see some more of her work at her website www.jkmitchellphotography.com, I LOVE it! I can't wait until we get to take some more!!!














This last one is just too cute for words... I think Hayden's face is just priceless!!

Water, water everywhere... and a TOOTH!!

As you can tell by the title, Hayden is getting in his first tooth! Last week(Wednesday June 10th to be exact!) at dinner I noticed his bottom front right tooth was starting to come in. I tried getting a picture of it....

Hayden's first tooth!

It hasn't made it all the way up, but it has broken through the gum. It looks like he may even be getting the one next to it in as well, it just hasn't broken through yet! I don't know why I thought this was so important I should blog about it, but for some reason I was SO excited! I am sure the way I acted about this tooth was hilarious to Hayden, because I made the biggest deal about it. When he can start forming sentences I will ask him what he was thinking since I couldn't really understand what he was saying when it was happening! I'll give you an update on that when he tells me!!! Surprisingly, the tooth isn't the only exciting thing that has been going on in the Ronn household lately. We have been getting to spend quite a bit of time in the water which has been a lot of fun. We have been spending tons of time at the pool, and even been to the lake a few times as well. It has been so much fun. We have all been having a blast! I was a little nervous the first time we took Hayden to the lake, but he LOVED it. He really likes riding on the boat... so much he falls asleep every time! He hasn't been in the water yet(just with me on a float), but maybe we'll attempt that next time! The whole can't touch the bottom thing is a little tricky for me!! I'm sure he will like the water though, because it is much warmer than the pool! When we first put him in the pool he usually puckers that lip getting ready to cry... it is just so cold! He is getting more used to it now, but at first he never wanted to get in the water. Once I sit with him for a while and let him warm up to the temperature he is good to go, but the first few minutes is always an adventure! I must also mention the oh so fun bath since I am talking all about water! Bath time has always been fun in our house, but now Hayden is starting to play much more in the bath. I usually give him a few toys and we have a little "party" in the tub! I think I like bath time almost as much as Hayden! I have been taking tons of pics...

Fun in the sun!

Family time

This is what I call RELAXED!

The Zoo

This past Saturday we took Hayden for his first trip to the Atlanta Zoo! It had been so long since I had been to the zoo that I had forgotten how much there was to see and do. Either that or it has changed a lot since the last time I was there! We didn't get to see ALL the animals, but we were able to see quite a few and we even managed to ride the train! The train was actually one of the funniest things about the whole trip. I think Hayden liked the actual "ride" part(of course I don't think he noticed any of the animals!), but at one point the train went under a tunnel and he absolutely hated that part of the train... it was so funny seeing his face!

Our Baby Elephant!!!

Maybe he was getting bored?!?

Up close and personal...

So the picture is bad(I was trying to take it through
the glass, and in a hurry I might add) but at least you
can see how precious this little guy was sleeping!!!

Fun times at the zoo!

Loving the train...

Scared on the train...

Waving to the camera!!!

So cute!!

We had a really good time and I can't wait to go back when he gets a little older. Maybe next time we'll actually make it to all the animal exhibits!

Here's the update...

Well, as most of you know, today was Hayden's 6 month check-up, and the day he got to start on baby food! It was quite an eventful day for us, full of cameras and camcorders!


I took these pics last night before his bath... I have always wondered if our scale was as accurate as the one at the doctors office, so this was a great way for me to find out!! Don't worry, the picture with Hayden actually looking at the camera was taken after the weight had already flashed off the scale... isn't that how it always works?!? The next pic I took, I made sure to get a close up of the weight!!!


Our scale works!! Well, it didn't get it right down to the ounce, but who knows, maybe he ate more this morning!! So, Hayden weighed 16 pounds, 5 and 1/4 ounces and he measured 26 and 1/2 inches long. He was in the 25-50% in both categories. We were in the room waiting for the doctor for a few minutes, and had to find some entertainment and this is what we came up with...


You just get the paper they put down on the table and wrap it around your child, and then place them in front of the mirror! It worked like a charm for us... Hayden never even knew there was a wait!!! The appointment went great... Dr. Papciak gave Hayden a thumbs up and said everything was going good. He even told us how much he was going to love getting to eat baby food!


HE WAS WRONG!!! So, after the much anticipated first food, Hayden doesn't seem to like it. We tried giving him some bananas, but he didn't want any part of it. As a matter of fact, the most he even tried it was when he decided to pick up the spoon and feed himself. But, as you can see by his face, he didn't like that too much either! We got it all on video, and it is really funny to watch. The faces he makes while getting his first "tastes" are priceless! We will be trying rice cereal in the morning, so maybe we'll have better luck with that. I made that one myself, so maybe he just wants some of Momma's home cookin'!!!


This is what he looked like before he got mad at us for giving him bananas! I swear he was excited about the idea of getting the food... it just didn't turn out to be as good as he was thinking it was going to be!:( Maybe tomorrow will be better for him. I am just hoping to see a smile after the cereal!
