Summertime, and the livin' is easy...

Wow, I hadn't realized it's been almost a month since I posted last. Sorry! 

PS: It would be very great if you could comment if you visit the site, since I'm starting to think only 3 people look at the blog...let me know you're here! :)

She just loves to type and bang away at a keyboard

If you've ever seen pictures of Kevin when he was a baby, it's truly astonishing how much she looks like him then, in this picture

Fell asleep in Dada's arms during movie night

She was so proud of herself, since we got just a booster seat instead of a high chair

After a struggle over toys, Lloyd the Llama killed Hadley.

I kept getting this face every time  I looked over at her, during computer time...she's so funny!

Dad is starting the brainwashing early!

Silly rabbit, that purse is for Sissy!

This picture says two words to me: "help" and "me!"

They both have impish little looks on their faces

"Ready for sawing flesh..."

At least that's what Dad jokes, in regards to Hadley's brand-new teeth. She cut her very first top tooth a couple of weeks ago, the left one. Surprised the heck out of me since it was there 24 hours after I had just checked for toothage. 

Another picture from the Flagstaff escapade

This weekend Haddy, Mom and I are up for a quick jaunt to Tucson to visit Grammy and reconnect with the band entourage...Mom's high school band, that is. Wish us luck, and a fuss-free trip!

Sitting outside with mom and Sissy...it's chilly out!

Rudy likes to hang out with baby Hadley

Haddy loves Sissy's new fish...the cats do too!

Return to the Scene of the Crime

I'm just back from feeding Hadley lunch...oatmeal with banana orange medley baby food. You know, you wouldn't think that "fully ripened bananas, mangoes, oranges and pineapples" would smell like dumpster fodder, and you'd be wrong!

Anyway. We've just returned from a little trip up into Flagstaff, the very same place that we took Haddy when she was just a wee 5 weeks old. (What were we, crazy??) If you remember, the trip was...not very pleasant. Hadley was pretty fussy up there and seemed to hate everything about it. 

Well, this time, I'm glad to say, was a lot better! She was too little to play in the snow this year, but she did have a fun time grabbing the icicles that Auntie Katelyn held for her, and she slept like a log. 

Trying to be inconspicuous about eating her carseat on the way up

Sitting up like a big girl in Mama and Dada's bed!

Another Tooth!

Hadley officially has two front teeth. On the bottom, that is. 

Sorry for the lack of pictures...sometimes I imagine it would be like one of those photos with the guys pulling open the shark's mouth for the camera... 

Haddy sticks her tongue out and chomps up and down when you try to get a look at her pearly whites.

In other news, she's finally getting more hair! She's not a little baldy anymore! Can't put any bows or anything in it, but at least the Rogaine is starting to work. (I'm joking, people!)

She also loves to eat oatmeal mixed with pureed fruit. Her favorite baby food is apples and cherries. And I caught her transferring a tiny basketball from one hand to the other yesterday. It seems like she's developing by leaps and bounds these days!

Lots of New Things

First, you may notice that you hear the tune "New Soul" by Yael Naim...Mom says it's Haddy's theme song. Listen. 

Another new thing is...drumroll please...Haddy's first tooth! It made its first tiny, white appearance on Saturday, January 24th. It is slowly poking its way through...I'm excited! A real, live tooth!

Haddy in the shopping cart with Mom and me

I'm a new soul

I came to this strange world

Hoping I could learn a bit 'bout how to give and take

But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear

Finding myself making every possible mistake
