11 months

better late than never!

Hadley is incredibly loving and entertaining right now.  She actually laid her head down on me and hugged me on Monday when I picked her up from the babysitter.  I melted.  I will give her anything now! :)

She is talking up a storm, will mimic almost anything (tonight it was peek-a-boo!) and has a new smile.  For those of you that loved the constant wide open mouth, she has replaced it with this mischievous grin. That she will do so randomly it makes you laugh. The open mouth is now mostly to mimic us doing it.  How the fads will come and go! 

She is SO close to walking, can stand really well and has good balance.  But, I think she might be a little more Lehman than we realize and continue the stubborn qualities us Lehmans possess :) At least the ones my dad and I do. ha!

pretty girl


yeah. I'm tall. look at my long legs!

soooo happy!

silly new smile.  notice the scrunched up nose.  ha!


playing dress up.  trying on the next size of clothes!

what? this is a Hadley face through and through.  We have so many photos of her with this look.


Our big girl hasn't been gaining much weight-just growing taller and slimming out.  I can't wait to see her stats at her ONE YEAR appointment!  She is improving with eating and it appears just wants the good stuff-no more bland "baby" stuff.  Bring on the good food!  Tonight we prepped for our state fair menu and had grilled cheese and sweet corn. 

Could the next post be wishing this little one a happy one year?  Whoa!!  We will be busy with Erin, Jack & Reagan who arrive NEXT WEEK.  WAHOO!!!

Hads and daddy are having their own weekend together while I'm at the lake.

On the agenda-bike rides to breakfast and playing footsie under the table

11 months

It's crazy to me that we are already here....a short 30 days from her first birthday. Wow. This time last year I was feeling great and, unbeknownst to me, enjoying my last normal week of work before the bed rest scare that made maternity leave seem so real!

Hads is speed crawling everywhere, standing up with ease, saying her versions of uh-oh, tickle, mama, dada, perks up when you say bottle, has said wa for water once. Probably lots of flukes with speech-but she is chatty and loves to have conversations. We've seen a few instances of shyness but not too much and thankfully no stranger danger!

The shape sorter is still king, she loves the water and splashing, likes to sing ABCs, Itsy Bitsy Spider and Twinkle Twinkle little star.

Next up-walking!!

Sam and Hadley reunited

It had been too long since Sam and Hads had a play date. So long in fact that I don't think Hadley was crawling then. Now Sam is walking and Hadley is crawling and standing easily. These two may conquer the world one day!

After morning naps, Courtney and Sam came over to play in the kiddie pool and splash table.

Can't wait until Hadley is walking and we can hit up the splash parks together!
