Hayden's Ride

What a ham!!! Hayden is growing up too quickly. Mama bought this "four-wheeler" for Hayden recently. He loves to ride on his Daddy's real one. You can see Hayden is ecstatic to have his own wheels.

At ten months, Hayden is crawling, pulling up, and riding backwards on his four-wheeler (Grandma reports that he hasn't quite figured out how to push himself forward, so he goes in reverse).

Hayden is adding words to his vocabulary. In addition to "DaDa" and "MaMa", he has added "NaNa", "dog", and "baby." Mama says that he started picking up pictures of himself and saying, "baby". Now, he picks up all picture frames and says, "baby."

Evidently, Hayden is parroting words, too. He and GrandPaw got into a discussion regarding reading glasses, with Daddy asserting, "You can't have these; they're mine." Hayden mimicked "mine". Daddy returned with "mine." Mama tells me this went on for several minutes, with Hayden grinning from ear-to-ear each time he said, "Mine." (I chuckle recalling the sea gull scene in Finding Nemo.)

I wonder how long it will take him to master "Auntie M" . . . (I figure that's easier than Miranda.)
