7 Months!

And just like that, another month has flown by and Hadley is now 7 months old! It is so crazy that she has been here for 7 months. Most days I can't remember my life without her in it, but I also feel like I just had her yesterday!

At seven months, Hadley:
 - continues to be happy and easy going almost all of the time (seriously - we sometimes go days without hearing her cry!)
 - scoots around, but only backwards and in circles. It's funny to watch but she is starting to get frustrated so hopefully she'll figure out forward movement soon
 - LOVES to eat and we still haven't found a food she doesn't like (including really gross combinations such as "Spinach,Kiwi,Banana")
- drools a lot, but so far has no teeth
- babbles a lot and laughs easily
- takes two naps a day and sleeps through the night, anywhere from 10-12 hours
- loves being outside and bouncing in her "Bumper Jumper" that hangs in the doorway
- loves her cousins and laughs at everything Mickie does
- is a bit of a Mommy's girl, but likes to be in the kitchen with Jason watching him cook

We haven't found much she doesn't like, but I'm sure she can't stay this easy going forever so I'm just waiting to learn what will make her sassy in the future!

Over the weekend, Tina and Justin celebrated their anniversary and we enjoyed a slumber party with the cousins. It was such a fun night, but I can't lie - it was exhausting. It was a big difference to go from one baby to three! But the girls were great and had fun playing with each other. On Sunday morning, they took a bubble bath and we got them dressed to snap a few family pictures. When I was pregnant my mother in law bought the cutest little overall dresses and my nieces are about to grow out of theirs so this was the perfect time for them to play dress up! It was hard to get all three girls to look and smile at the same time, but we ended up with some cute shots! 

I am so happy that Hadley will grow up with her cousins. It is such a neat relationship and I pray they will continue to be as close the older they become. We may need a boy at some point to mix things up, but the poor thing would be so outnumbered maybe we should just stick with little ladies!

Another Update

So once again, my days are getting away from me and it's been a few weeks since I last updated the blog. I guess it's good that nothing too crazy has happened that I needed to post about, but I hate missing so much time because then I forget the fun things we've done or the cute things Hadley has been doing. The one thing I do remember is that little miss cannot seem to stay healthy. I swear she has had a congested cough for six weeks and it never goes away. Last Friday I got a call from daycare that Hadley was running a fever of 102. This is the highest fever she has had and I was a bit nervous when I picked her up. I shouldn't have worried because, even sick, she is still the happiest baby in the world. She slept through most of the weekend, in between lots of cuddles and a little playtime. I know she didn't feel well, but she was so cute and funny. She has started scooting around - but only backwards! She looks like a little frog going the wrong way. We also were able to snap a few cute pictures and I think the fever just made her cheeks look a bit rosy! 

On Monday morning Hadley woke up happy and healthy so it was off to school. Have you ever seen anyone so excited for Monday?

Last night, Hadley "helped" Jason in the kitchen. She loves to sit and watch him cook and it buys me some time to do other things around the house - like our never ending pile of laundry. I had her wear her "Baby Chef" hat and I think she makes a pretty cute sous chef. Jas says she already has done more in the kitchen than I have (not too far from the truth!)
