Hayden is now 11 weeks old and doing awesome. May was full of fun for Hayden and her parents. She is growing every day and is smiling and laughing and making all sorts of crazy sounds. We are enjoying every minute. I have been loving the time off from work with her. We've gone for lots of walks and errands and even had our first amusement park adventure yesterday with Hayden's Auntie Ginger and cousins Katie, Riley and Anne and Great Aunt Karen. It was a blast and Hayden was such a trooper the entire time. She is weighing around 11 pounds 5 ounces and growing every day. She celebrated her first Memorial Day with a party up at the farm. She got to see lots of family and meet lots of new friends. This past week I went home to VA and Hayden got to spend some good QT with Grandmom and Grandad Best. She even survived her first horrible storm and 24 hour power outage. We also had a special visit with my friends from highschool and their babies- we got to spend 2 days with Rachel and her precious son Ethan and then got together for a pizza party with Christi and Claire, Trissie and Teagan, and Erika and Ella. It was hysterical having all 5 babies together and we lined them up on the couch for a photo montage- it went well at first and by the end they were all leaning to one side crying- all the mommies were crying from laughter. It was great fun.
Here are a few updated photos of Hayden- check out many of her firsts- her first "swim" in the baby pool, her first carousel ride, and her first swimsuit. The firsts will just keep on coming but we'll love them all.....oh and Mommy, Daddy, and Zoey are doing great also. ;)

Hayden and her new buddy Ethan (Rachel's little boy)- they were too cute hanging out (not sure why these photos turned)
Hayden had her first pool time with Ethan...they did not like the cold water at first but got used to it and then seemed to really like it- probably felt good on such a hot day, Rachel and I wanted to get in!
All the mommy's and babies (Erika and Ella, Christi and Claire, Rachel and Ethan, Me and Hayden, Trissie and Teagan)- babies are content here....but wait.....
