Two Months Old...Hadley

TWO months old already Hadley! Wow! The time is really flying by!
Hadley, you are a sweet, sweet little girl! You are loved by many! Still, your sisters and brother beg to hold you each day and complain if they didn't get to hold you long enough! They maul you...stick their faces in your face and just don't give you a break! You are pretty patient, but honestly, you can only take so much!
Mommy hasn't been doing very good at giving you the 'tummy time' you need. Especially since you PREFER to crank your head to the left!!! We need to strengthen those muscles sweetie!

Some things at 2 months old:

* You don't mind tummy time (for short periods)
* You are REALLY starting to 'talk' now...you will copy us when we 'initiate' conversation.
* You've got a pretty smile and LOVE to show it!
* You are a SLEEPER...through and through! You just can't get enough of it! The other day you slept 11hrs STRAIGHT! And that wasn't a isolated event...you sleep anywhere between 8-11hrs each night!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! You're naps through the day are frequent and long...3 hrs ish!
* You are getting better in your car seat and in the car...you HATED it...and now I can say that you're starting to not mind it!
* You still love being held and enjoy being in your ergo (can I blame you)
* You enjoyed going swimming for the 1st time too! You lasted 1 1/2hrs in the pool!!! You were the talk of the pool thats for sure!
* You weigh 10lbs 13oz


We LOVE you....you are such an angel Haddie Bea...we LOVE you!

Hadley Bea - One Month Old ALREADY!

So I haven't actually blogged in a long time...but my goal is to do it at least once a month to share and for me to remember (scrapbooking purposes) what Hadley was doing each month!

Hadley, you are so sweet! You are an absolute ANGEL. You are a perfect addition to our family and your sisters and brother CAN'T get enough of you. I want you to grow...but I don't want it to happen so quickly! I LOVE holding you, snuggling you. I have a feeling that you are going to be our spoiled little baby. You are perfect and loved by many!
We couldn't be any more in love....God has truly blessed us with a special and sweet little girl!
Love Mommy

* you are an AMAZING sleeper! It is very typical for you to sleep 4-6 hrs straight each night...then go right back to sleep after a quick feed. You have slept for 8 hrs straight between feeds!
* you still sleep most of the time...but starting to stay awake for longer periods
* you love to be held
* you enjoy your baths
* you hold your head up very well
* you started smiling at us a bit
* you weigh 9lbs 7oz
* you HATE your car seat and being in the car...you scream as soon as we stop at a stop light and it's not until we get going pretty quickly again that you settle...

recent & not so recent scrap pages...

Hey Ange....
