Get to know Jayden

Silly hat, silly little boy!

A little about our "Jayden Monkey"
 
Jayden was born on December 29, 2000 -- just in time to help everyone celebrate the New Year!  He weighed over 9 pounds, was 20 inches long, and of course, it was love at first sight.
 
Jayden is an exceptionally bright young man.  He started walking at 10 months, and was speaking clearly in sentences and potty trained at age 2.  By age three, he had mastered his bicycle and battery operated four-wheel-drive jeep.
 
Jayden likes anything Spider-Man  -- movies, costumes, boxer shorts, birthday parties, too!  He enjoys playing with his Play Station 2, and playing games on the computer - NickJr & PBS kids are a couple of favorite sites.  He likes to help Pawpaw mow the yard, swim in the pool, and play jokes on everybody when opportunity presents itself.  Some of his favorite songs are Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head (from Spider-Man2) and You Can't Always Get What You Want, by the Rolling Stones.
 
Jayden and his mom, Crystal Trogdon,  live with Pawpaw Keith & Nana Margaret Trogdon, Aunt Jessica Trogdon, and 5 month old cousin Jamyn (Jessica's little boy).  Also part of the family is Jayden's big "guard dog", Sadie (a black lab that's been with Jayden since he was born), and a brand new puppy, Scrappy Doo!
 
Jayden has a half-brother, Max, who lives with their dad, Chris.  In August, a new baby brother will join Jayden and his mom.  Jayden has got a lot of work ahead of him--teaching cousin Jamyn and his new brother how to crawl, walk, to talk, ride tri-cycles & bikes, ride four-wheelers, and how to use computers, too!
