Daddy's Favorite Little Lady

All I can say is that this little girl absolutely loves her daddy! Her eyes light up and she gets so talkative and squealy when he is around talking to her! And of course he loves her back just as much!!

Talking to dad...

Warm Weather!

Both Hadley and I are excited that it is finally warm enough for her to wear her summer clothes! Let's be honest, this chunky monkey outgrew her 0-3 month clothes quite a while ago!!

A New Beginning...

It's official- I am completely done with school... at least for quite a few years! Thursday was the last day of school, which means I am officially a stay at home mom!

I must admit that it will be an adjustment and quite the change to get used to, but I am looking forward to spending all my time with my little precious girl! After I went back to school from maternity leave it took awhile to used to it- not being at home with Hadley all day, having to drop her off at my sister's each morning, back doing school work, going non-stop all day long. But after some time, I really got used to working and having a baby. I absolutely loved teaching and being with those kids all day, therefore Thursday was a tough day filled with mixed feelings. Many tears were shed- mine and theirs (oh how I love them!!), but now I am ready to be home!

After school on Thursday we had a staff lunch where they said goodbye to the teachers that were leaving. We had to get up and give a favorite memory of our time at the school. I couldn't think of just one so I said two big ones. Definitely my team that I teach with- those girls are my best friends! And of course each day with my kids, never a dull moment there!

So here I go to a different and more rewarding full time job...

Classic Hadley picture pose...

Reading to 1 three month old instead of 25 eight year olds... quite different :)

How could I not want to be at home with this adorable thing all day!!

Little Friends

Last week my friends Ily and Cami came over so our babies could finally meet! Little Jane, Dexter and Hadley had quite the time together! Dex really liked the girls and loved Hadley- he kept putting her hands in his mouth and getting really close to her. Well, as soon as we moved her we learned that he really was just trying to get over her by rolling!! Dex is about two months older than Hadley and Jane and the little girls are only 18 hours apart! Both little girlies look like their daddies- they were so cute!!

Cami and I know that Jane and Hadley were friends before they came down and they planned to come down together :)



It really was so fun to watch them! Dex was so smiley, Jane wouldn't take her eyes of Cami, and Hadley was just very curious as to what was happening, her eyes were darting from one person to the next!

We can't wait for our next play group- hopefully thier newest little friend Pollux can join us!

2 Month Stats!

I forgot to post Hadley's stats from her 2-month appointment last week! I am just proud of how much she has grown- especially since her weight got so low after she was born from her acid reflux.

Weight- 10 lb. 10 oz. - 45th percentile

Height- 22.5 inches- 50th percentile

Head- can't remember the measurement but it was 50th percentile

So she is just perfect in all three!

And of course I had to include some pictures of our little cutie!

She had to get shots on her not so little legs! I have never seen anything so sad!

Hanging out with Max in the pack n' play!

Hadley loves cousin Livi!

2 Months

Time has really flown by! I can't believe that my baby is already two months old! It is now like she has always been a part of our family! She is so much fun and starting to do so many things!! She goes to the doctor on Tuesday so we'll see how big and tall she is!

Things she does:

- Smiles ALL the time! She is constantly smiling for Steve and I and even will smile for others occasionally.

- Notices when people enter and exit a room.

- Looks around for the sound of the tv (uh-oh!!).

- Still takes 2 good naps and sleeps from 7:30 to 7:30 at night.

- This week she has become a BIG eater and she starting to be a little chunk! Her legs are definitly getting chunky and she has fat cheeks and several chins :)

- She can now ride in the car without falling asleep.

I am so mad that it flipped these pictures and I couldn't get them to change because the one above is my favorite!

All dressed and ready for church in her cute little dress!

Daddy's Girl!

This week I went back to school and Steve took the week off to watch Hadley! He certainly had a lot of fun and learned LOTS of new things about her. He also admitted that being home all day and working to keep her on her schedule isn't as easy as he thought (and we only have 1 baby!). But they had lots of time to bond and I imagine they did a lot of this...

This is what I came home too... how could I be mad that she wasn't sleeping in her crib when the scene is this sweet?!

Love them!
