Laptop...

Jayden was trying to type a letter to his Auntie Jenn Jenn! It said...

COME VISIT ME SOON!

He LOVES the computer!

He likes the lights, the keyboard, and he likes to "talk" to his cousins on webcam.

It's hard to keep him from drooling on the laptop though.

We're going to have to buy him one of those play keyboards/computers soon!

Flowers

After my 1st day of returning to work, I came home and my husband had flowers waiting for me! He's very thoughtful...he also stopped at Circle K to get me a Cherry Coke! (My favorite!) So, I had flowers and a soda waiting for me when I got home! =)

Jayden's 1st Baseball Game!!

Last night we took Jayden to his 1st Baseball Game!
Angels vs. the Twins

We represented Minnesota!

We went with Josh, Kristin, and Bayley...
And...they represented the Angels.

The girls with their little boys...
The Twins beat the Angels 9-0!

It got a little cold, so I had to change Jayden out of his Twins outfit. I didn't realize I was taking a shirt that made him look like an Angels fan! A lady walked by and said, "What a cute little Angels Fan!"
Don't tell Daddy!

Jayden and Bayley were SO good!

Bayley even let Jayden chew on his pacifier clip
while he took the pacifier.
Such a good friend!
But, we stayed late and the boys were very tired.
They fell asleep...

Jayden was SOOOO tired...

It was a fun night!

Draft Day

The Erickson brothers representing the Vikings!

Little Jayden in training...

Today was the big "Fantasy Football" draft...

GO VIKINGS!!

Jayden loves his Uncle Micah!

Taking a break from the big draft to play...

Jayden and Daddy at church...

A few pictures...

Jayden is learning to sit up! I can't believe how fast my baby is growing!

Still only 1 tooth! If you click on the picture it will enlarge and you can see it, along with all the drool!

I got him this new toy at Walmart and he is very intrigued! It plays music, sings the ABCs, and counts in three different languages. He is so amused by it.It's hard for him to sit up AND smile at me.

Every time I get his attention, he smiles and topples over!

Here's Jayden and Daddy taking a nap.

I'm surprised Jayden could sleep...Jamie was snoring SO loud, he was very tired.

I should have gotten it on video. It was pretty funny!

This is who Jayden gets to play with when I go back to work. Ben is one year old and Sarah is going in to the 2nd grade! Jayden's been hanging out there a few hours at a time and already LOVES Jessica (the kid's mom)...

THANKS JESS! We don't know what we'd do without you!

Jayden's New Friends!

Jayden found a bunch of friends that look JUST like him!

My mom saved ALL our Cabbage Patch Kids from when we were little.
These are just the bald ones.
Some of them are over 28 years old!

Jayden is sitting in a rocking chair that used to be his Mommy's!

He's doing a good job learning to sit up by himself!

Jayden loves his Gramma...

Sleeping in his Crib...

Jayden started off sleeping in his bassinet next to Daddy...

Graduated to his Pack N Play, sleeping next to mommy...
(Not a very good picture of the Pack N Play, but it's all I could find)

AND NOW...

He's sleeping in his crib like a BIG BOY!!

Although I miss having him in our room,
he sleeps really well in his crib.

He's growing SO fast!

Squash

Jayden started on baby food yesterday. We started with squash and he LOVED it! It was definitely a lot messier than his rice cereal. He was so cute eating it.

He would get excited and kick his feet. He also made cute noises after each bite.

I think he's going to be a great eater!

Rock Band!

Rockin' out with Daddy!

Jamie introduced Jayden to Rock Band today. He actually liked it! I was worried it would be too loud and scare him, but he was smiling and laughing!

If you look closely you can see Jayden's one tooth! We brush his tooth every day!

He's really started to enjoy his tummy time. A friend of Jamie's at work bought him this blanket. He loves to lay and look at all the colors and patterns.
