mini-him

Hadley is looking more and more like her daddy every day.  I had my mini-me in Asher, so I guess it was his turn.  Apparently we don't blend well.  haha  :-)

our favorite things

I've seen a few of these favorite things posts floating around lately and decided to share some of ours!

When Asher was a baby we had a terrible experience with the Vitamin D supplements that all breastfed babies need.  The dropper full of liquid always made him sick.  There was NO point in giving him a supplement that he'd just vomit back up, so he didn't have any for a few months.  I knew this wasn't great for him, so when Hadley was born I was determined to figure out a way to make it work.  Guess what - the Vitamin D made her sick too.  Nice.  I talked to our pediatrician about it and he suggested a product I'd never heard of before called Baby D-Drops.

These are wonderful!!  It's the entire 400IU dose in 1 drop!  All you have to do is put a drop on your breast or pacifier and the baby sucks it right off.  Hadley doesn't even notice she's taking anything and has never lost her lunch afterwards.  The only downside is that you can't buy them in regular stores.  I got my 3 month supply from Amazon and the cost was very comparable to D-Vi-Sol.  Highly recommend!

Another recent favorite of ours is this book...

Asher loves, loves, loves it!  Tiffany actually recommended it to me first so I bought it for Asher at Christmas.  Ever since we first cracked the cover he's requested it at nearly every bedtime and nap.  If you have a little boy who likes construction vehicles he'll love it too.

One other thing I'm loving are these MAM pacifiers.  Asher never took a paci, so when Hadley came out loving them I had to do some searching.  We started out with the gum drop ones, but they fell out way too easily at night.  This kind has a little more staying power so we all get more rest.  :-)

With it being winter I needed something to keep the wind/rain/germ-infested-admirer-hands off Hadley.  This car seat canopy is perfect!  There are literally thousands on Etsy, but I picked this one because it was super pretty, ready to ship, and made of 100% cotton.  I was looking for cotton so it would be breathable for the coming warm weather.  The canopy does a great job keeping the sun out of H's eyes so we'll be using this until she outgrows the seat for sure.

What are some of your favorite things?!

love week

We have so many cute Valentine's outfits it was necessary to start a little early this year.  Yay for a week of love!

Thanks to our friends, Curt and Gigi, for this outfit for Hadley!

{This happens at our house all the time.  She watches him constantly!  Asher still isn't H's biggest fan, but she absolutely adores him.  ps - don't you love his hair?  A hair cut is on our to-do list for today...}

She was so sweet looking even Asher agreed to sit with her {a miracle of Biblical proportions}.

This picture cracks me up because it was probably the 30th shot I took trying to get A to smile naturally and Asher was saying "uh-oh, Asher's done."  He started to stand up and basically gave Drew and I this 4 word warning that H was about to get dumped on the floor.  haha!

Poor thing - luckily Daddy was there to save her!

{phone dump friday}

Hadley wore her ruffle bottom pants this week, just to make me smile.  It worked.

Tell me this little lady doesn't have a big brother.  It looks like our poor birdie lamp is being hunted!

Chef Hadley - ready for work!

Isn't she a little young to be annoyed by my affections?  lol

My little Eskimo baby.  Babies after baths are my favorite - absolute favorite.

Asher came over to me the other morning carrying this tin of popcorn and said "I hab popcorn for breakfast."  haha!  Yes, it's from Christmas and yes, I assume it's beyond stale.  He and his "Christmas Noah" pjs enjoyed it immensely.

my oh my, how adorable is this little tongue?!

Happy Friday, friends.  :-)

happy hadley

I'm not sure if I'll ever get tired of these posts.

Hope you feel the same way.  :-)

his perch

I've got to give it to him, Asher knows how to get comfortable.

she rolled!

Big, big day here - Hadley rolled over from her back to belly!

{3 months, 9 days old}

I was upstairs getting Asher dressed and came back down just in time to see the big moment!  No video yet, but I'm still trying.  :-)  She was smiling SO big when she made it the whole way, but then realized she was stuck face down and got pretty mad.  ha!

Fluke?  We'll see!

taggie for hfw

Thanks Aunt Erin for my super soft taggie blanket!

I love that it has my initials on it so Asher can't claim that it's his.  :-)

  xoxo,

HFW

Since we were all feeling well this week it was time to get out of the house!  The kiddos and I headed out to Chick-Fil-A for lunch and Asher shocked me by putting away 6 nuggets in no time.  I am definitely going to go broke feeding this kid.  ha!

Miss Hadley was having a hard time sleeping for a few days so she was extra serious and not so generous with the smiles.  She's cute anyway.

I saw these cookies at Target and needed to have them.  They. are. awesome.

Asher was being silly the other night and we took a few pictures together.  He's such a hoot these days.

Hadley is out growing all of her 3 month jammies so I raided Asher's bin of old clothes and found some.  She isn't as cute in boy clothes, but mama's saving her pennies for hair bows instead.

I also found some onesies of Asher's and decided to make one a custom shirt for H.  I wasn't sure how well it would work, but it ended up so cute!

Drew got this little guy from his brother for Christmas and Asher immediately latched on to him.  When I asked Ash what his name is the first time he said "wise man" and the second time he said "Noah".  Hahaha - I love this boy.

Tummy time is a real chore, but I'm being tough and know she'll be lifting herself way up in no time.

Happy Hadley says happy Friday, friends!

a snack for sister

Asher was demanding attention while I was trying to cook dinner the other day, so I called over an exasperated "play with your sister" in the hopes it would throw him for enough of a loop to give me a couple minutes peace.  Imagine my surprise when I looked over and saw this...

He was actually trying to play with her - ha!

Poor Hadley wasn't playing so much as trying to defend herself, but she seemed to be having fun.  :-)

I'm looking forward to the day when they can actually play together!

wordless wednesday {mustache ash}

If you know Asher, you know that he l-o-v-e-s him some "happy cake".  Any kind of cake is "happy cake" and Asher's favorite {he totally inherited my sweet tooth}.  The other week he was having some cake at my parent's house and when he was finished looked like this:

ba ha ha ha - I almost died laughing.  He somehow created that most perfect mustache with his cake.  love it.
