Adjusting to the cast

Hey everyone!  Well a week has passed since Hayden got his cast put on and he is doing great :)  He is adjusting so well.  Sleeping great, eating good, in a fabulous, playful mood, and he is getting around really well.  He's finally mastered the art of walking on his cast even though it looks more like a hobble than a real walk.  But it gets him where he needs to go without having to drag his "red leg" behind.  So luckily his lifestyle hasn't been compromised too much.  He'll get the cast off in only 3 weeks so it's going quickly.  Keep sending positive, get well vibes his way if you can spare any!

Despite his injury we had a really fun weekend with his great-grandparents visiting from Wisconsin.  The highlight was a trip on the Grapevine Vintage Railway.  We all boarded an old steam engine in Grapevine and the cars were actually open air which was perfect because it was a gorgeous fall day.  We rode the train for about an hour in a half all the way into Fort Worth to the stockyards.  Then we were able to spend a few hours wandering through the stockyards where we got to see some horses and longhorns up close, and we ate some good Texas BBQ.  Then it was back on the train for the ride home.  Hayden was just mesmerized by the whole experience and I can't wait to take him again.  I've included some photos of the trip below, and I've also posted some videos of him playing peek-abo and dancing.  They are so cute, but I warn you to turn the volume down because my voice is quite annoying in the background - ha!
