She is such a loving girl with a blooming personality...here is a summary of the life of Hads...
Signs that she is a Big Girl!
- Lots of words - she can repeat anything we ask her to and if used enough, will use on her own. Love how she will come home with a new word like mirror, and act like she's always used it.
- Has her own language - I love the realization of how much David and I know this and have learned to communicate with her when we are around people who look at us like "um...what is no no nay??" Well, it's elephant of course! (she totally stumped Grandma Bonnie with Hip Hop Hop (bunny) yesterday! ha! Lots of sounds used as words now.
- Washing hands after school is fun
- Says hi to everyone everywhere. The poor people at the stores...
- Says no way too often (and learns more and more the true meaning of the word!)
- Tells us when she is dirty/poopy (doesn't say before it happens...but this has to be a sign it's coming, right?)
- Will hold our hand and walk next to us like a little lady
- High fives
- Takes her meds like a champ
- Is learning her colors, letters and numbers - this is way too much fun to watch!
- Gives kisses
- Says "night night" when you can leave the room
- Attitude!
- Points stuff out as we drive "uck (truck), dee dee (birdie)"
- Recognizes herself ("adley") in photos, plus other family members
- Understands commands or requests to stop, bring something, do something, etc.
Signs that she is still our baby girl!
- Snuggles up when tired or sad
- Cries and melts down when tired - just tell us Hads!
- Milk at bedtime makes her happy
- "Curled up and feet tucked under" sleeping pose - love the tushie in the air!
- Thinks we are silly and funny when we sing, mimic her funny noises or dance around
- Picky picky eater - still sneaking baby food and veggies into smoothies to get her vitamins and nutrition in!
- Cannot contain her excitement at times - squealing and running around
- Wants to be held as I work in the kitchen
- Wears footie pajamas
She keeps us on our toes for sure - we had a GREAT day yesterday! Road trip to Grandma Bonnie's with barely a peep, just read and looked out the window. Played great and slept the entire way home. Then ate tons (for hads) of chicken at dinner, was so happy, took a long bath and went to bed without a peep. THEN we get to today and she barely makes it past 6 p.m. and was fuuuuuuussssssyyyyyy an entire hour before that. We'll take the good days as they come!
Enjoy these photos! Happy half-birthday Hadley Louise!

Painting with water on her half-birthday!
We are having built-ins installed and painted now, and have major work to do on Big Girl Hadley's room...so maybe my next post will be about the house and projects.
This post is about Hadley. Someday soon we will talk about the new baby - because that is happening too. ha! We should probably take a belly pic...
