Hayden is 18 months old!

I'm a couple weeks late on this one.

Hayden is literally saying new words every day!  Most of what she says is still baby babble, which is adorable, and most of the time sounds like a foreign language!  A funny comment from Preston one day, "Hayden is speaking in English!!"  We're having lots and LOTS of tantrums stemming from the fact that she can't communicate what she wants/needs.  She's beginning to parrot most of what we say and has a lot of words she says on a regular basis.  My favorites~ "Set.....GO!", she whispers "ha-shoo, ha-shoo" when she sees someone sleeping, she'll respond "WHAT?" when I call her name, says "Where'ditgo, where'ditgo, where'ditgo??" over and over again when you hide something, and she's recently started calling Matt by his name. haha!

Hayden can say everyone in our family's name to some degree-  Book-in, Bake, Ga-yi, Tido for Preston which stems from his nickname "Prestido."  She mostly calls me "MOM!" and Matt, "Da."  She says "Mam-ah" for grandma and can say Becky's name perfectly.

Hayden's nicknames~ Hayda, Hayda-bayda, Sis, Sister Suzy, and Preston has started calling her Hayda-nator!

She LOVES climbing up onto the table, just like her siblings before her.

She is a GREAT sleeper (nap & night) and a pretty good eater.  She's starting to show signs of toddler pickiness.  She'll toss things off her tray at mealtimes or bat at the spoon if I'm trying to give her a bite.

Big milestone -- she started nursery a couple Sundays ago and Matt dropped her off before I could even get a picture. :(  I tried to take a couple quick ones after church but she would NOT.HOLD.STILL!!!  Blurry will have to do.
Love this sassy munchkin SO MUCH!!
