The main words that Hayden says are in his own language. Every once in a while an emphatic "daddy" or "byebye" will come out. Now at 13 months, he has taken several steps and has been pulling himself up and walking along furniture for a couple of months. He has been a bit frustrated because he wants to be independent so mommy bought him a toy to help him along in his mobile efforts. Every Saturday morning and some nights after work, when not at swim lessons, we are out rolling or walking around with his new toy. As you can see, he is very proud of his toy and himself.
We bought Hayden a life jacket for the lake and it is one of those that have the crotch strap. Sara and I were trying it on him and she was pulling the strap up too tight so I was glad to get to swim lessons so the instructor could prove that I was right in loosening the strap!

We went to Sara's folk's lake in Waubay, SD over memorial weekend. While we were able to visit with her family, Hayden got to meet his cousins, a few not shown (Catherine 12 mo., Matt 14, Samantha 18). We brought a few toys including a couple of balls. The kids had a great time because grandpa's house has so much room to toss and bounce them.
I guess that is all for now. I probably should get ready for work but it is FRIDAY!! And we are going to the Weeks lake house on Saturday for more lake fun. I got a couple of surprises that not even Sara knows about. We will see who fights over them cause they're gonna be fun :).
