Hayden's First Halloween

Hayden's first costume was a rodent. Yes a squirrel. I, of course, was a squirrel hunter. In case you are wondering on the choice of costume, one of Hayden's first nicknames, given by his Gran, was Mr. Squirrels. Gran nicknamed him this because he was so squirrelly when he was a newborn. So I could not resist dressing him up as a little furry squirrel. Aimee says she is picking the costume next year.


Hey anyone seen my nuts? I could use a snack.

Ahh, back in my natural environment.

Rub a dub dub, Hayden's in the tub

This is the first time Hayden sat in his new bath seat

Bath time is alway fun with a rubber ducky.

Especially one that is named Trooper Duck, thanks Alex

Who let the dogs out, I know but he is so dog gone cute...

Hayden in the Pumpkin Patch

Well we started off on the wrong foot for Halloween. There is a huge feild of these organge things and without warning from his parents, we plop Hayden right in the middle of them. Not a good plan parents.

We even tryed to put a pumpkin in his lap, saying look, it is just a pumpkin. He is saying "they are surrounding me!"

The following day we gave Hayden a little time to get aquainted with his new surroundings. He seem to have forgotten about the prior day and that he was being attacked by the orange mob.

Oh, they are nice and round.

I like this one mom.

How does this thing work? The door seems stuck.

Sitting up on my own

This is Hayden sitting up on his own. Yes he did just wake up from a nap so I guess that he dreamed of sitting up.

Once he figured it out he was glad not to be slumped over anymore.

Hey, look at me! I am sitting up! Now what?

V-O-L-S, Go Vols Go

Hayden was ready for his first Vols experience. He had all the gear and was ready for the big game with UCLA. He woke up and knew he was ready!


After a good lunch, Hayden was still ready to go. Bring on the Bruins.

Holy Cow, Crompton what are you doing? I could hold on to the ball better than that!


Mom, maybe I need to be a Vandy fan.

Boys and their toys

The exersaucer, what a great invention. Although it had about 70 little screws that went into it assembling the thing, it was worth it. Hayden loves this thing. It bounces, plays music and then some. Our only regret is not putting him in it sooner.

Waking up is hard to do

Just like his mama, Hayden is a slow riser. Once he get's going he is all smiles. Especially when he gets a wake up call from Aimee.

The Protectors

The first of September Gran, Pops, Cary, Bryan and Mattie came to visit. Maddie loves to get up and lick Hayden. She tried to take a sneek kiss one time and Hayden, who's legs are alway kicking, gave Mattie a boot to the backside. She now keeps her distance and only come around when he is sleeping.


This is Cary's bear that Bryan gave her before he left for Iraq. As you can see Gran thought it would be cute to have a picture with it and Hayden thought it was pretty cuddely as well.

Green Beans (yuck)

Hayden thinks that there is a good treat waiting for him like a bottle or rice cereal but no it is first baby food experience- Green Beans!


Hayden is on to his Mom, somthing is going down but still he does not know what lurks in the bowl.



It is the horrid Green Bean goo. His body actually shuddered a little as if he got the chills.



and it is official, Hayden does not like Green Beans.. he gagged a little after this photo.

Haydens first roll over

Growing in 3 Months

Hayden in his Bumbo seat. Turns out this little seat keeps him looking at his toys with a different view (rather that on his back). He is reall y reaching out these days and this seat help him get there.


After a long day of eating and and playing "Mr. Right" finally gets a nap with Dad. I think that he is going for the Al Bundy look...

More 4th of July Pictures

These picture are from out 4th trip but I am just now posting. Aimee got Hayden some cool shades for the beach. All the ladies loved em. Hayden's piggies going in the water for the first time.
Taking a little snoozie after a long day at the beach and sun.

Hayden on the 4th

The whole family came down to Pawley's for the 4th. We have a couple of traditions one of which is the Ed Stoudt Golf Classic. This year it was not contest. Scott was the clear winner by 8 strokes. Although Hayden wanted me to bring home the big prize, it just was not the year. Congrats to Scott and Matt and I will be back next year hopefully with out so many water shots!

Hayden had a great time on the forth. There were outfits all day long that provided great pictures and many laughs. We left him with Gran and Pops so that all of us could go to a Dave concert. We took a limo to Charleston, which Scott arranged and gifted the tickets. Thanks to Scott for that and the opportunity to spend time will family and friends. Trippin Billies...

Relaxing day at the pool

Aimee, Hayden and I went to the pool yesterday. Hayden was good for about an hour. As some of you can see, he is getting bigger and Aimee wanted to show it.

Bathtime for Hayden

Well, bath time is always a fun event at the Eubank's. Hayden has the funniest faces during bath time. I guess that he is just cold but check these out.
