Surprise visit.

Ryan's really good friends from college, Josh and Nicole, were in town this weekend and gave us a call Friday night to get together...we said, come on over! They have a little gal Grace who is 16months old and so, so cute. Thanks for the visit guys, makes me wonder why we don't do it more often.
Just thought she looked so grown-up in this picture.
Hads flirting with Josh. She loved him.
Nicole and Grace.
The boys and their babes.

What the hell do we know?!


So we went to Hadley's first physical therapy appointment this Monday and I must say I was a little nervous. I was afraid that they were either going to laugh at me for bringing her there or they were going to tell me there was something horribly wrong with my child (like she had no femur bones). Once we were taken back to the padded room all my fears were quickly eased. I had to warn the lady that I was a pediatric ICU nurse and the fact that Hadley could breathe on her own and is not suffering from some heinous virus, made this whole not crawling thing seem like no big deal. Come to find out, Hadley really should be doing all this stuff she's not and my way of fixing it (but just having her learn to walk ASAP) is the worst solution in the world. I was in trouble for holding her too much and not giving her enough tummy time when she was little...the end result...a kid with no stomach muscles. So if she becomes an ax murderer the blames on me! Seriously though, they were super sweet and loved little Hads...and said she's totally fixable. However, after our Thursday appt., they might have changed their minds. Here she is doing her latest, greatest, trick. She was able to do this Monday night after her first PT appointment and I must say, it made Ryan and I believers! This girl will be swimsuit ready in no time with her abs of steel.

Out for a visit.

Hads packing up all her snacks for a visit to Joc.
It's so funny, both Joc and I sit on the floor with Hadley the whole time and eat her snacks. Times have changed! And the little red mark on her face is from our brutal stroller crash that morning. It was a doozy!
She's getting SO big.
It wasn't fun to be her that day, nor was it fun to be around her. But cute shirt nontheless.

Brusha, Brusha, Brusha.


Now that we actually have two teeth we gotta keep em clean! And the chewing gum flavored toothpaste makes it all the more fun.

Kind-a-mover, kind-a-shaker.

Guess she kind of is a "lazy princess" (words from Dr. Kaneshiro).
Calling China.
Still holds on for dear life...but looks good doing it.

Sweet, sweet baby.


After Hads first PT visit she was sacked (more on that visit to come). I had to wake her from her 3+ hour nap....

And this is what she thought of that.

Lauren Loo.

Told Lauren she could pick out anything she wanted in the snack drawer. She was a little overwhelmed.
This is how I get Lauren to eat at our house...
Meg: "Lauren you want lunch?"
Lauren: "Is it Hadley's lunch?"
M: Yes.
L: Okay.
M: Do you want juice?
L: Hads juice?
M: Yes.
L: Okay.
M: Do you want your elephant snacks?
L: Hads elephant snacks?
M: Yes.
L: Okay.
...and this is our dialogue at each meal. She's too, too funny!

Getchoo, Getchoo.


Our little bookworm.


Hads could look at books ALL day long. She loves taking them off the bookshelf and thumbing through each page. But not long enough to actually let me read any of the stories...maybe that'll come soon.

Where have you been all my life?

So I browsed the 'Esty' shops this weekend because I was bored and Ryan was already in bed sound asleep (it was 9pm afterall) and discovered this website was made for me. I'd never looked at it, but kept hearing about it from various folks. So gave it a whirl and fell in love. It's all the creative things that I want...but cannot do. I bought these darling pictures to put in the spare bedroom, that will soon become Hadley's playroom. Aren't they just to die for?! I cannot wait until they arrive in the mail.

Rainbow Brite.


Hadley in one of her new little birthday outfits. I thought the pants might be too much, like WOW those are some serious rainbow pants, but I love them.

Cute with a capital 'C'!

Can't get over my new shoes.

What's so funny?



Ahhhh, the simple joys of banging on the coffee table.

Those cheeks, that nose.

Love this little profile. She does have food in her mouth...but nowhere near the amount those cheeks could actually hold.

Trying to get some work done.

Baba was doing taxes and Hads just wouldn't leave the poor guy alone. We kept picking her up and putting her by her toys (which were on the other side of the room), but she was determined, and would just scoot right back over to him. Then she would put her arms out and say "Uh, Uh" in her pathetic little pick me up voice. He acted perturbed, but we know he wasn't.

Okay, maybe he was.
