February and March 2009

February and March were very busy months!  We went to Disney for Valentine's Day, Mimi and Pop became official Florida residents, Haidyn took her 1st steps, Great Grandmother and Granddaddy came to visit, and Kealon started reading 3-letter words!

Here are some Haidyn updates: 

What is Haidyn eating?  

I think her favorite food over

 the past few months has been chicken and star soup from the can! Other favorites include: nuggets and fries (of course), spaghetti and meatballs, pancakes and waffles, chicken, fish, steak, pizza, yogurt, hotdogs, grapes and strawberries, and cooked veggies...everything, really!  She enjoys trying to feed herself with Kealon's little metal forks and she actually does a pretty good job.  Miss Independent at 11 months old :)

What is Haidyn saying?  

Hi, bye, uh-oh, thank you (doo-doo), peek-a boo (which sounds a lot like "thank you"), whoa (when she falls), da-da, ma-ma, and she makes a "woof" sound for dogs, cats and sometimes for birds, too.  

What is Haidyn doing?

Our little angel has developed quite a temper and will throw anything that's in her reach when she is angry. After beating on whatever she is frustrated with, we'll see it flying through the air. Giving her a very stern NO doesn't seem to be doing the trick.  She also enjoys beating-up on her very tolerant big brother, who laughingly encourages all the the smacking, hair pulling and ear grabbing...until it really starts hurting!

Haidyn took her FIRST STEPS at church on Feb 24 after just turning 11 months.   She has been very happy since she's been getting faster at moving around.   Soon she'll be chasing Kealon all over the house!
