At the 6 month mark...here is what Hayden is Loving:
As evidenced by videos in previous posts, he loves to bounce in his activity jumper. Now that his feet actually touch the floor on the lowest setting...he is a bouncing fool! He is happy and content to stay in there all the time. He finds new things to play with every day and his favorite direction to play is constantly changing. So far it is the best Mom Helper we have had. As long as Tess is in his sights, I can put him in there and get so much done around the house while he plays. Combine this great gadget with the sleep that I'm starting to get and I have become a whole new woman!!
He is loving his pacifier ribbon. There are specific clips with ribbons that connect to our MAM pacifiers. We started with just one, but he was constantly chewing on it so I picked up another one so I could keep them clean. He is generally perfectly content to have the ribbon in his mouth with the clip hanging on one side and the paci on the other. Other times he chews on the clip and almost always he ends up with the paci in his mouth by the end. It has actually become a toy that can keep him happily satisfied on it's own.
Continuing from the first 3 months, Hayden is STILL loving Sophie the Giraffe and his favorite blanket. Sophie is his go to toy, without a doubt. She always gets thrown in the bag when we are going out and he has yet to grow tired of chewing on her legs. And in the past few months our favorite blanket collection has grown to 4...plus one that stays at GiGi and Pop's house. When he goes down for a nap or to sleep, his little face still lights up as you lay his blanket over him. He pulls it right up, rolls over, and goes to bed. If we are out and about, he is perfectly happy to take a nap in his stroller in a restaurant...IF he has his favorite blanket. At first I thought having 4 was a bit over the top, but I LOVE that we never have to search for it. One stays downstairs, two upstairs, and one can be grabbed on the go.
He is loving Tess. Maybe not her kisses so much...but he could watch her all day. And when we all go to visit Sophie, he is in heaven! He tracks Tess as she moves through the room and gets giddy and giggly whenever she comes over to him. He is constantly reaching for her and when he gets a hold of an ear or that furry skin, he just can't get enough. While Tess is definitely missing some of her attention, she is very protective over Hayden and always wonders where he is when we walk through the door. She also comes upstairs every day when he wakes up in the morning and when we tuck him in at night. I think he's growing on her. :)
As we are introducing solid foods, it seems the little guy already has a favorite. He is loving Tyler Florence's Apple Mango Carrot recipe. I had no intentions of making my own baby food, but the Williams Sonoma Beaba Babycook Baby Food Maker makes it SO easy. All I have to do is chop the fruits and veggies and this thing steams them and purees them. I downloaded a baby and child cookbook by Tyler Florence and have been using all of his recipes. H is doing pretty well with everything we have tried, but he definitely has a very clear favorite.
He is absolutely in love with Angel Dear animals...in all shapes and sizes! His personalized elephant pillow has been great. Before he was sitting up, he spent so much time laying on it.

And then there is his partner in crime...Moo. Moo goes on all of our adventures with us and has made it into close to 50% of any picture I grab on my phone while we are out and about. Hayden and Moo like to chat, snuggle and nap together. I can PROMISE you this, Hayden will be getting some back up Moos for the holidays this year. :)
