Hadley Fern, you are ELEVEN months old!
Wait. No. Only one month until your birthday? That can't be right. Luckily there's no time for this mama to get sappy because you keep me running! Oh sweet girl, this month has been amazing with you! You are our little firecracker and are constantly into messes. In fact your new nickname this month has been Miss Mess.
My favorite is when you're crawling towards something you shouldn't have - I call your name and you look up at me, giggle, then crawl faster, like you'll outrun me. Love you silly girl!
You still army crawl for the most part, but have been getting up on your knees to pull up on things lately. I caught you standing in your crib a few times and your favorite is climbing up Asher's legs when he's sitting in his PBK chair to get at whatever snack he has stored in his lap. This is probably his least favorite. Naturally.
Hadley, you're the BEST eater! You have yet to meet a food you don't like. While you still put away the purees happily I'm pretty sure you just get through them to get to the good stuff - table food. I haven't given you any dairy yet (we'll try that this month) you have had a wide range of foods and have enjoyed everything, even meats and spices. You still have only had mama's milk and nurse 4x a day. I'm in no hurry to end that part of our relationship and I hope you aren't either!
Lovely, you are still our Happy Hadley - you have the cheeriest disposition! Everyone comments on how happy you are, even the stylist at Asher's haircut today. You light up every room you come into and compel people to come closer - what a gift you've been given.
(although, to be fair I do have to add that you've recently discovered you have a powerful voice. There are times when I don't get dinner to you quite fast enough or when Asher refuses to share his book that you try to grab away and we all know that you aren't happy about it. Unhappy Hadley was destined to appear eventually - ha!)
Guess what? You finally have more teeth! Woot! Two more popped through just this week and you handled it like a champ. Seriously, if I didn't see them poking through the gum I would never have known anything happened. Let's do the rest like these, ok?
Haddie, you sleep so well - usually a morning nap around 9 and an afternoon nap around 1, then in bed for the night by 7 and up again in the morning around 6:30. It's been a little tough for us to adjust your schedule to accommodate Asher's school drop-off and pick-up but in classic Hadley fashion you roll with it with nary a complaint.
At 11 months, Hadley...

has discovered that she can voice displeasure and does so. Loudly.
Hadley Fern, it's 11 months since you joined us and I can't believe how fast it's flown by. Wasn't I just washing newborn clothes and picking our your coming home outfit? Now you are moving around on your own and eating dinner with the family. We love you so much my dear, thanks for being our girl.
Her and Kendall would be the best of friends. They are both such happy little girls. I'm still shocked our girls are almost ONE. Hadley is such a cutie.
ReplyDeleteSo, so super cute! I can't believe she's nearly one already, and it sounds like she's a pretty awesome gal - classic laid-back second child. Fingers crossed mine is as good as she is :)
