Hadley is 18 months old! A year and a half! Where has the time gone?
Our heads are pretty much always spinning with this busy girl. She climbs like a monkey, she's curious and relentless, she's smitten with her brother, pretty attached to mama, happiest on the go and outside, fearless when it comes to trying new things, a great sleeper, an even better eater, a lover of music and dancing, a cuddler, silly and goofy, and did I mention she's busy?

| Eating her first doughnut! Yeah...she liked it. |
 |
| Splash pad with the comfort of brother leading her in... |
 |
| Wearing her new big girl floaties - just like brother! She is doing great in the water this summer and the highlight of our pool is definitely going down the slide with Mommy or Daddy. She loves it! |
 |
| This picture truly captures Hadley trying to keep up with Tucker--in this picture, she's trying to climb on the stool to help him cook with Daddy :) |
 |
| First time playing dress up while we were having a playdate at Kit's house - you can't find any tutu's or princess dresses at our house... yet :) |
 |
| I'm so glad I have a picture of Hadley in her crocs. She is OBSESSED with them. The only reason I can come up with is that Tucker always wears crocs. But, every morning after breakfast after she gets out of her high chair, she runs over the shoe basket and beats her chest (sign language for please) for you to put them on her. She never takes them off unless you do and yes, they stink by the end of the day :) |
 |
| She still loves to get into things and on top of things. |
 |
| She started eating with utensils this month. So, of course, she gets frustrated now when she can't do it... Signs of her very independent personality are starting to shine through (someone told me that this looks very familiar). |
 |
| Hadley got pretty sick this month with a fever virus. The fever was consistently above 102 for 4 days and even reached as high as 104.5! Tucker has always had very high temps as well so maybe it's true for both of my kids? She sat still and in my lap for longer than she ever has before-- and I didn't mind the snuggling :) It really wiped her out for about a week so we were glad to see her back to her normal, busy self! |
 |
| She LOVES everything Tucker plays with, which of course includes all of the CARS. She even has her own version of saying "Lightening" and "Mator". P.S. Tucker lined these up for Hadley - I'm pretty sure she'll never put anything in order or any kind of line in her life :) |
Hadley, you are FULL of LIFE and we are trying to wish this busy, tiring, non-stop season of life with you. Thank you for always reminding us to laugh and stay on our toes - you add a very spontaneous, carefree element to our family!
