Hayden is 1 year old!

Happy St Patrick's Day

Hayden turned 1 on March 10. He weighs 24 lb and is 30 in. tall. He is taking a few steps and has a mouth full of teeth. He has 4 front teeth, top and bottom, and his last molar has popped through, making 12 teeth in all. The last 2 are just shiny while spots on his gums, but they are definitely there. He has had and upper respiratory virus and an ear infection, but is doing great.

Above and below, opening presents. He got lots of toys and clothes.

But from Dad, a tricycle

Te next day Jennie found him standing on a chair. He had used the bike as a step stool and climbed up on a dining room chair.

Our grandkids have their own cake for their 1st birthday. We call it a "smash cake". Some of the grandkids dig in and others don't like the sticky frosting, having their hands and faces dirty, or the frosting is too sweet.

Hayden dug right in!

And it was "smashed"!

And stuffed in his mouth!

With frosting all over his hands, face, and chest.

After getting so sticky, he had a bath and was a very cute, clean baby, ready for bed.

He loved the bag that he got some presents in. Jennie said she could hear him laughing, and found him in the gift bag.

On Saturday we all went to Dora's house to tie a quilt. These 2 pictures are all of our Utah grandkids.

Kelsey and Hayden above, and below:

Kylie, Maclay, Ryan (with the airplane), Jackson, and Kambree.

This is Hayden walking this morning.

We went for a walk around the block (3 times around). Ryan pushed the stroller the whole way. By the 3rd circle, he did a pretty good job of keeping it going straight. He ran off the sidewalk a couple of times, while looking at an airplane up in the sky.
Our Washington grandkids are doing well, too. Cody took 2nd place in the wrestling tournament. He is quite athletic, and plays most sports. Little league baseball and football are his spring and fall games. He is getting big enough to ride steers in the rodeos. I think he has even been on a small bull or two.
Austin is getting ready for spring High School rodeo season to start, and plans to ride bulls in the Pro rodeos.

As for the rest of us, we are doing good. We have all had colds and coughs, but are all doing better today.
