Miss Hadley

So I don't plan on doing this all the time but I wanted to document how much Hadley has cahnged since she turned 1! And since I use this blog as our family journal, there is no better place to do it!

I really feel like Hadley changes so much each day but even since her first birthday she is growing so much and learning so many new things each day!!

- She LOVES LOVES LOVES to be outside and will stand at the door and cry and say 'side, side!' until we go out!
- She also has learned a new trick... opening our doors! What fun this has been :)

- She has such spunk and personality and is always laughing and making the silliest faces!

- She is currently obsessed with her little blanket/stuffed animal. Which is not necessarily a good thing- we have to take it everywhere we go!

- When she walks around the house she carries as many things (usually like 5 or 6) in hands as possible. If she drops one she'll just find something new to carry around.

- She loves to play in water and dirt :) Despite my best efforts, she's not the girliest girl around...

- Still takes about a 45 minute morning nap most days (I would say 5 out of 7 days). A 3 hour nap in the afternoon and goes to bed between 7 and 7:30. We love our little sleeper!

- Her biggest change of all is her talking! She can say so many words!!
mama, dada, baby (dede), star, ball, Max, thank you, please, papa, bottle (baba), doggie, me, yea, hi, hello, book (boo), more, outside (side), oh wow

And then the words I was hoping she would never learn- mine and no, no!

- She also knows most of her animal sounds. Although when you first ask her she will say all animals say "Woof, woo."

And we see this face several times a day about something or other that has happened... This one was because dad left for church before us and she was quite upset about it!

I sometimes get sad that she's not my little baby anymore, but it is so much fun to see her becoming such a big girl!
