Where's he at?!

Words Hayden is using;

drink please thank-you
truck duck stuck yuk
(can be hard to know which one at any given time!)
more car bin baby
up doggy cat star
bicky there letterbox motorbike (mum understands the last two, others probably wouldn't!) shoes socks nappy

stringing some words together, ie. more please!!!
or "me mum please" when he wants a bit of what mums got!

Has worked out the names of everyone in the family, and will even point to photos and say names.
Also doing really well with animal names and some noises. Cow, horse, frog, sheep, pig, dog, cat, duck, moth, fly, bee, chicken.
Lots of parroting going on where he will copy words (trying to teach him badonkadonk at the moment!)

He is currently obsessed with;
trucks - makes for a long trip to Melbourne with every truck pointed out to you. Can be a good distraction though if he is sick of car!
bins - makes for a long walk on rubbish collection day!
babies (and patting their heads) - hayden was holding onto the bar at gym one day when a baby went past, both hands straight off the bar so that he could point and say baby (luckily mum had hold of him)
moths - great way to stir him up just before bed. Points, laughs, runs on spot.
Isaac - as soon as Nat's name is mentioned by anyone, out comes Isaacs name.
dogs - has been forever!
his willy - anytime he has nappy off that is all he cares about. typical boy.

He is running, jumping, clapping, spinning, rolling, catching (sometimes), kicking (ball not people!), blowing kisses.
Can point to most body parts; nose, ears, mouth, puku (belly button), belly, toes, knees, eyes etc.
He also loves going for bike rides, swims, and to Kindergym.

Still waiting for his eye teeth - on their way though!

First Real Haircut

Today Hayden went and had a haircut with Grandma at the real hairdressers.

He didn't really enjoy it much - too much hair everywhere, and buzzers in his ears.

I'm not sure how impressed Grandma was when she found out that her haircut cost 4 times as much as Haydens. That was despite her sitting still, putting on her cloak, and losing less hair! Hayden wiggled and squirmed, and cried and lost lots of hair.

Here tis...

Animals/Holidays

Well it has been a whole term since the last post - what slack parents!

Hayden's vocab has increased 10 times. He is absolutely fascinated with cars, trucks, diggers - all the boy stuff! He is also fascinated with animals - particularly doggies. Particularly doggies that chase things when you throw them.

Here are some animal themed photos taken over the last couple of weeks. The turtle and birds are from his farmstay holiday in Buninyong. Our host, Livvy, owns the turtle, and dad took Hayden to a brid park to see all sorts of different birds. Before the farmstay holiday we also visited a mobile farm set up on the Waterfront, which is where the picture of the pig was taken.
