Big day!

A big day for Hayden today, if you think this counts as crawling:

Yes or no?

Well, even if that doesn’t qualify as crawling, it’s still a big day: tooth #2 made its big debut today.

How is Hayden taking it? We’re coming up on hour #2 of trying to put him to bed. If it’s not one thing, it’s another!

Tragic news

I loved Crocodile Hunter in high school. I still remember talking with my friends about last night’s episode. There’s real reality TV.

So I was shocked to find out Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter, had died.

I’m saddest for his kids. Especially 2-year-old Bob.

Ryan and I were talking about writing a will this weekend, and the thought of leaving Hayden behind is unfathomable. How could he grow up without any memory of his parents? Not knowing anything about us?

Hayden: eat your vegetables. My favorite are cucumbers.

Sorry, Bob. I don’t know what Steve’s favorite vegetables were.
