LI Happy Birthday Muscles!!

L WALKING!!!!

Needing something big for the 50th post and just a few days short of his 1st birthday, Hayden goes ballistic, discarding the walker [it was only holding him up!!] and taking his first few quick steps.

XLIX Walker

Walker arrives and vision is restored...

XLVIII High chair antics

Hayden, sick & tired of waiting around for Grandad to finish his walker, takes matters into his own hands... heck he's got places to go, havoc to wreak!!

XLVII Underwater video!!

Hayden's dad loved the underwater housing too!!

XLVI Underwater!!!

Speaking of presents. Hayden's uncle extraordinaire presented Hayden's mother with an underwater housing for her camera. She was excited to get it... but not as excited as her brother was to have a new piece of photographic equipment to play with!!




And you all wondered why Thorpe retired...

XLVI Christmas!!

Hayden's first Christmas was, as expected, fabulous. Not for the presents (which he seemed to be getting well before Christmas anyway and his favourite of which was a small flashing fish that WILL (trust me I know) give him an electric shock should he ever lick the terminals...) nor for the food, because lets face it, the boy is happy chewing on anything... No, Christmas was fabulous because his uncle flew home from Japan to spend it with him!! Lucky little drummer boy.
