Hadley, 15 Months Old

I thought I was done with these updates, and I was definitely relieved to be done with these bear photos, since they became more WWF smack-down than sweet photo shoot. But this week I was looking through her first birthday photos, and I couldn't believe how much she has changed in just a few months. She has definitely lost that baby look. On the bright side, she sat in front of her bear for a good thirty seconds this time.

         Went from walking to running in about a month!

Loves spinning around in circles

      Says a new word about every day. Her latest: boom and tree

Gives hugs and kisses

                Successfully gave up the paci!

                         Her favorite toy is Dady (Hadley for Baby). She also loves her lovey blankets!

Hadley, 5 Months Old

I was doing so well getting Hadley's monthly photos up on time, but these past three weeks have been hard- a week long trip away from my precious girl, a sad event in California, and the first week of school at a new school. So here it is, eight days late.
