42 Weeks Old

This little lady is growing up WAY too fast! She can stand on her own for quite a bit now and is getting very close to walking. She loves to check things out and especially loves finding treasures in her sisters' rooms. Hadley is still a great eater and we haven't found many things she doesn't like. We are still working on napping in her crib at daycare, but she has been sleeping in her crib at home most nights. She has almost outgrown her infant car seat and she is anxiously awaiting the arrival of her new baby cousin in the next week or two.  

Six Years Old

Lillian Elizabeth is six years old today! She is spunky, sweet, and loves to sparkle. Lilly has lots of friends and is always excited to learn new things at school. She loves to snuggle and is especially happy when she is just resting on the couch with her family. Lilly loves all things pink, princess, and glittery, and she is can often be found playing Barbies or mermaids. She loves to color and create, and is just figuring out how to tell jokes. She is a first year Spark in our Awana church group and is also taking swim lessons once a week. Always the performer, Lilly loves to dance and sing and she is still hoping to audition for America's Got Talent soon. We are so very thankful for our happy, healthy girl and we could not be more proud of her love for others. She has an incredible heart and we are excited to see what God has in store for her future.

41 Weeks Old

Hadley is getting to be such a big girl. She is clapping all the time, trying to say so many words, and has really taken off with her furniture walking. She is sleeping a bit more in her crib and is still working on her next tooth. Hadley isn't too crazy about having her nails clipped, but she does love having her hair brushed. She also loves spending her days with her friends at day care and she's always all smiles at drop off. 

Hadley's Name Blanket

Grandma Lynne gave Hadley her Name Blanket today! I am so excited for Hadley to have a blanket to carry on the tradition my grandma started for her grandkids. My mom is the absolute BEST and she did an amazing job on Hadley's blanket. I know Hadley will love it just as much as I do when she gets bigger.
