Happy birthday to my favorite teenage boy! Haydn just turned 13. It is hard to believe but I am sure like everything with Haydn we will enjoy it. He is someone that makes me laugh daily.He is good at everything he does. He is always happy until we make him turn off sports center.
He is very helpful in the kitchen( more than his sisters). He loves to eat sour candy til his mouth is bleeding. He can tell a good story and jokes. We love to watch Haydn on the soccer field and we loved watching him this past football season on the 7th grade caveman football team. Hope you had a wonderful birthday. I love you!!
On Nov. 22 1996 my baby boy was born at 3am. He wieghed 8lbs 6 oz. He was the sweetest happiest baby I have had. Easy. which was good because I had a 20 month old daughter at home. I was only 21 yrs old myself and desperatly in need of a long nap. So about 6 weeks after he was born I got this package in the mail of these newborn hospital photos. I did not remember even ordering or writing a check for. I opened up the envelope and looked at this picture and looked at my baby and had a strange thought. This picture was so obviously of MY baby, he had some definite Anderson/Bowden characteristics. That round head and big hands. Then I am looking at this baby in my arms with his big brown eyes, olive skin color and the not so big swollen head. So in my post partum haze I am thinking I have the wrong baby and worse than that I decided I was keeping this beautiful boy in my arms. So when Curt came home that night I showed him the photos and compared it to the baby in our home. He reassured me that I was in fact crazy and this was a picture of the child I was holding. He remebered the nurses taking the picture right after his first bath when he was only hours old. we did decide they should have waited a day or so to take it. It is just a bad photo. I do think he has gotten even more handsome as he has grown and he has never had another bad picture taken.
