Haden made it back home to Tampa late last night.

Here he is with Aunt Brenda, Cousin Joel, Dad, Haden, Mom, Uncle Barry and Aunt Judy.

Chillin’ with the “Goggie”

Crazy Joel!

Haden found a perfect seat at Aunt Brenda’s house.

Haden made it to Goodland, KS this morning.

Haden is on his way to the Mile High City. Turns out our flight has wifi Internet access, so of course we had to take the opportunity to make today’s post from 33,000 feet! Sorry we don’t have any pictures to go with it.

For the last week or so, Haden’s favorite pastime has been reading one of his Richard Scarry books to his ‘friends’.

Recently, Haden has insisted on gathering his ‘friends’ in a circle (as shown a few posts ago) and then sitting in the middle of the group to read. We think he gets this from reading hour with his real friends at day care.

Haden had his 18 month check-up today. Here are the latest stats:

Weight: 23 lbs & 4 ounces
Height: 33 3/4 inches
Head Circumference: 19 1/2 inches

He also endured 3 shots: DTaP, Hib and Hep A. Up until now, all shots have been in his thighs. Today, however, the shots were in his arms.

The really fantastic news is he’s done with shots now for a looooooong time!

Haden picked up a new seat from IKEA that fits him perfectly.

It’s hard to believe Haden has been delighting us for a year and a half now!

Guess who loves to open and close doors?!

Haden put these shoes on all by himself today. You know how he loves shoes…

Haden felt a little under the weather today, but you’d never know it from these pictures. Here he is playing it up for the camera…

Right before he decided to be a little bad…

And right after he decided to show a little love to his bears.

Happy belated Forth of July!

Haden traveled to Minneapolis this weekend to visit Dad’s extended family. He got to see 3 sets of great-aunts and uncles, a multitude of first-cousins-once-removed and of course Grandma and Grandpa, Aunt Kirsten and Uncle Jaron, and cousin Henry!

Here’s Haden getting an up-close view of the take-offs and landings at MSP.

Haden had a great time playing with trains with Henry.

And lastly, here’s Haden getting ready to blast off to return to Florida.

Haden is in Minneapolis for the weekend.
