This is one of those sugary sweet posts that may make you a little sick to your stomach. But I can’t help it. This is just so cute!
I know I keep saying that Hayes is the sweetest, happiest, most content baby and he really is. Of course he has his fussy moments, but they’re very rare. He is just so low maintenance and is always okay to just go with the flow.
We’re pretty proud of him because he had mastered sleeping 9-10 hours at night without waking up, so we decided to do the next phase of Moms on Call, which has them sleeping 11-12 hours. And Hayes did it on his first try! He cried for less than 5 minutes at 5:00 a.m. and was then back to sleep until 7:30 this morning. I love Moms on Call!
He smiles so much. At this age, we had to try really hard to get Hudson to crack a smile, but once Hudson started, he never stopped! Hayes just smiles at us all the time and always seems to get tickled at stuff. It’s like he wants us to know how happy he is to be here. And that just makes my heart flutter!
We are so blessed to have this little guy in our family and I look forward to seeing him every single morning and miss him after he’s gone to bed.
Yesterday I put him in his swing and was talking to him and he started giggling. I was so happy to have had my iPhone with me so I could get it on video. He’s such a happy little guy! I can’t believe he’s almost 3 months old.
*I hope the swing and the fancy camera work don’t give you motion sickness. And I hope my over-the-top mommy voice doesn’t make your ears bleed!
That is fantastic ! He is adorable
He is so cute!! This put a smile on my face 🙂
What a cutie!
That is just the sweetest sound in the world 🙂 He’s so precious!
What a cute giggle he has 🙂 I just had to smile right along with him!
Oh good grief 🙂 Could he be any cuter? He is seriously adorable, and that sweet little giggle is a great way to start the morning.
He is sooo cute. I love when Emmy gets giggly like that. Yay for sleeping til 730. Are you doing the example schedule they give you? What time did you give him his last bottle at night? I am having a hard time to get her to eat at 2 and then again at 430/5. We are normally giving last bottle at 8 right now.
Oh my goodness. I love his sweet little giggle.
You’ve definitely made a believer of me with Moms on Call and if we ever have a another I’ll be on board too!
Adorable! How jealous am I that he slept that long last night!
Baby laughs are some of the sweetest things in the world. I just love to hear them.
Ohmygoodness.. I just LOVE those baby sounds! And that laugh and giggle is just BEYOND!! So, so handsome!!
Sweetest thing I’ve seen in a long time:))) love , love babies!!!
I love the video. His little giggling is SO cute.
He is so cute and his sweet laughter just made my day! I’m so happy to hear he’s sleeping so well for y’all!
Precious! So glad you shared Moms on Call…did you just buy the online seminar or did you buy the book too? I was thinking just the seminar…let me know what you think
His giggle and smile are too much, what a happy boy!!!!
Ah, he is so cute! I can’t wait for those baby smiles and giggles! What a happy little guy 🙂
This just made my morning! I don’t think he could be any cuter!!
Yay Hayes! He is so adorable! We are getting ready to start our next Moms on Call schedule (4 month schedule that adds solids). I am so glad it is working for you and he is such a good sleeper. Way to go Momma!
Hayes is so adorable, and that giggle is the best!
Isn’t it amazing how different siblings can be from the start? I am so jealous I didn’t hear about this Moms On Call 7 months ago!
I have been hearing a lot about Moms on Call and considering it for my 3 mo old who is not a good sleeper. I have heard they use a “cry-it-out” method and I am not sure I am comfortable with that at such a young age. Sears website:

But I am not getting good sleep and would like to know what your take is on the concerns that baby looses trust in environment and desensitizes caregivers to baby’s cries? I am just doing research before deciding to do it or not. I realize it is not for everyone and no judgement either way, just wanting your opinion. Thanks!
He is such a good baby and SO STINKIN’ CUTE! Seriously. And sleeping through the night?? Amazing.
I don’t know why it wouldn’t let me watch the video…I’ll try again later!
I love his little giggle! And you are right, he is a very smiley baby. I love it!
What a sweet little thing! Love his giggles!
Erin,
I’m not sure if it’s my pregnancy hormones in high gear or what, but that was the cutest and sweetest video of Mr Hayes! He is just adorable and I am counting my weeks before my September due date with my little girl until I get to hear her coo like that too. I have loved reading your blog for the past few years and have learned so much on being a wife and mommy and christian and can relate to so many things (and insecurities) you have posted about. As my next chapter at being a Mommy of two soon begins, I only hope to have it all under control, as you seem to.
I am definitely going to learn more about the Moms on Call that you have mentioned, and am hoping to get Brynley to sleep well, once she gets here! My son Ryder, who is now 2 1/2 was never a good sleeper, so I have prayed this whole pregnancy that she will be like her Momma and like to sleep ha! You have the cutest family and I just love reading your blog.

Erin, he’s seriously the cutest little baby boy! So happy to hear he’s been such a great baby for you all! You make having two little ones close in age look so easy! I plan on having mine close in age once we start in a couple years and it’s so nice to see your family doing so well! Keep up the sugary posts! I love em! 🙂 Have a great day!
Aw, he looks like you! Such a cutie. My sister was a happy, content baby like that. Giggled and laughed at everything. Me, not so much.
There is nothing sweeter than a baby giggling…nothing!! Hayes has that sound mastered 🙂
He is sooooo adorable! His smile is too cute!
Reading this makes me excited to be a mom one day! He is adorable.
That video just made my day! Thanks for sharing it!
He has the sweetest laugh!!! What a great big smile he has, too!
Oh my gosh, that is the cutest thing ever!
Sweet Hayes’ giggles was just what I needed to remind me that there are so many more sweet moments in a childs life that make up for the moments when they’re being terrible. My 20 month old son was asked to leave his music class today because he was being fussy. When the teacher said under her breath in the middle of a song, “Take him out please” I had to catch my breath to make sure I heard her correctly. I’m in no way going to pretend my child does no wrong, and I have voluntarily taken him out of class before when I thought he was being a little disruptive, but in his defense, today he wasn’t even being that bad and I think it had more to do with the fact that we were sitting right next to the teacher. As a parent, it just stung (mainly my ego). It only got worse when later in class he threw his musical instruments and pushed a little girl down. I was so embarassed and frustrated, when class was over I just got in the car, called my husband and cried. I really hope this is just a stage, but I can’t help but feel I’m failing as a parent during times like this. Sorry for such the long post, I guess I just needed to vent.
What a cutie! Just adorable! I hope my little man starts giggling soon 🙂
Oh my gosh…is that not the sweetest sound you’ve ever heard???? I was smiling the whole time I was watching that! He is so precious, Erin!!
so sweet! there is seriously nothing better than baby giggles 🙂
My day was blah but this brought some sunshine:)
Such a sweet little boy!
Hawkins had that same precious Kissy Kissy gown! Hawkins didn’t sleep through the night until 3 months even with Moms on Call so GO HAYES!
Great post…love your honest feelings on motherhood.
Our son is obsessed with Elmo and Hudson looks
adorable in his Elmo personalized t-shirt.
Would you mind sharing where you bought the Elmo
shirt?
I love this age – they really start to come alive! 🙂 Well, you know what I mean (I hope)
