Baking a Turkey

We are excited to share that we are expecting baby #2.....just in time for Thanksgiving!  I'm currently 12 weeks and feeling pretty good.  We took this photo while we were in Baltimore this past weekend to start documenting the pregnancy.  :)

Big Truck Day

This past Saturday we took Hayden to the Baltimore Museum of Industry for their Big Truck Day.  It was a free event where kids can get inside all different kinds of trucks.....firetrucks, police cars, garbage trucks, diggers, etc.  It was a beautiful day on the Harbor and Hayden had lots of fun.

Proud Momma

Today was my last co-op day in Hayden's classroom.  The past couple of co-ops Hayden has not done well with me being there so I was looking forward to this being the last one of the year.  The teachers tell me how great he is when I'm not there but today I got to see my sweet boy in action.  He still had to make sure I stayed close but he participated in usual class activities and played with his friends.  At the end of class the teachers were saying how much better he did today and said if they had awards he would get the most improved from the start of the year.  He has really thrived at school and has improved in his speech, social skills, behavior, and even eating.  Today he ate a bagel with cream cheese which was a first so I was super excited (yes, this is a big deal).  I left feeling so proud of my little man.  Summer vacation starts in June and we look forward to returning to the same school next year. 

Day Out with Thomas

This past weekend Eric took Hayden to the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore for their Day Out with Thomas.  This was their second year going and Hayden definitely enjoyed it more this year.  He loved the big train ride on Thomas and had fun looking at all of the trains.  He also enjoyed riding the rides and a pony!  Eric took lots of pics for me.  :)  Here are some of my favorites.
