the color yellow

hayden and i had a fun morning coloring together. pretty much non stop all day long, he is saying the word "car" so, i drew a car. Another word that he knows is tree, so i drew a tree. he just learned the word house,
so we drew a house, but it was his idea to color everything yellow.

and some more photos:

the reason and some history

Hugh came up with the idea to blog about Hayden as a way to keep history on all his great achievements.
We did purchase an actual baby book, but I love the illustrations too much and like my handwriting too little to actually write in it. It is filled with yellow post-it notes however, but somehow I don't think they will stand the test of time. I don't feel too much like back peddling, but here are a few highlights from the last year and a half!

meet the madman

Meet the madman, aka Hayden Ellis Connelly, at his finest, just minutes old and already flippin' us the bird. He was born June 19th at 2:01 in the afternoon on a hot summer day in Chicago. He weighed in at 8 lb. 6 oz. and measured something like 19.5 inches.
