Friday and Saturday

Friday afternoon, Hadley and I spent a little time outside enjoying the beautiful weather.  She's started sticking her tongue out in pictures...not sure what that's all about. 

Then we met up with some friends for the Art Walk.  I blurred them out in the picture below just in case they don't like the idea of being included on my blog! :)  But if you know me, then you probably know them.

Then we carried that party over to dinner.  We dropped Hadley off at her Nita and Papa Burl's so they could spend some time together but also, so we could actually enjoy dinner!  That's what you call a win win!

Saturday was a lot of playing, standing, feeding, diapers, playing, standing, more feeding and even more diapers. We also took some time for pictures. 

And I was inching towards the finishline!  7:00 couldn't come fast enough!

Busy Body

Hadley has certainly kept me busy the last several days...thus, no new blog posts.  Well, don't worry.  While I was slacking on the blog, I didn't slack taking pictures and videos!  So, here goes...

The girl can't get enough of standing up.  All the time. 

And here are a couple of videos of her in action. 

Playpen

 Thankfully, Hadley likes her playpen.

Most of the time, she will stay in there for 15-30 minutes without complaining (as long as there are plenty of toys to keep her busy). 

Which is great and gives me time to take a shower and get ready in the mornings.

Now, she likes to stand up and hold onto the rail.

She cruises from one corner to the other.

What a ham. 

I don't know where she gets it.

Just cute pictures

And finally, look at her trying to pull up on the crib.

(I think it's time to lower the crib mattress)

Playtime

Here are a few pictures of Hadley playing in her room yesterday. 

Playing with a baby doll. 

She was so excited to play with the doll...but...she showed her excitement by beating up the doll!  Thank goodness it wasn't a really baby!  

Then she decided to show off her math skills with an abacus.  

She thought she'd take that opportunity to teach Cane how to use it.

Not surprisingly, he didn't get it right away. 

An afternoon walk

Who knew someone could look so cute on an afternoon walk...



First Easter

Easter Sunday was another very busy holiday.

It all started with Hadley getting dressed and then seeing what the Easter Bunny had left for her.  She got a couple of new toys and a life preserver for the pool/lake.

Then we went to church which was at 8:15.  This service is early but it works out best with Hadley's nap schedule. She was very good during the service and only made her presence known a few times.  We visted with Mimi for a few minutes and then we came home, took a nice long nap, and got ready for lunch with the Lovell's.

Of course, since we had options, we decided to wear another dress. This one was picked out just for her by her dad on his recent trip to New Orleans.

We wrapped up an eventful Easter day by spending a little time with Papaw. 

We enjoyed the beautiful weather with a ride on the gator and then found some great puzzles.  One in particular is exactly like one I used to play with when I was a child. 

Funny how you would never in a million years remember such a toy until you see it again...25+ years later. 

Then we went home, had dinner, and hung out together playing with all her new books, toys, and stuffed animal.

It was a great first Easter!
