And when they walked him throughout HyVee when he was itty bitty-everyone would say "He looks just like daddy." Cory's face lit up every time. When I would say hello he would have a scrunched up nose with his pacifier in his mouth...I will never forget that goofy little smile. I will miss you buddy and Sophia will too. You will forever be "baby Hayden" to Sophia. "
