Catching Up

So once again i have gotten behind on this thing. Life just does not slow down. Well in the past two months we have celebrated Hadley's first birthday, Easter, our 3 year anniversay, and Mothers day. We have also been working on lots of projects on our house, and had my entire family come for a visit to help with a bunch of house projects.  Life is busy but we are enjoying every minute of it.

She was not a fan of her birthday cupcake

But she loved her presents

Bubbles for Easter

No blockade will slow her down

First lollypop

Busy Busy

Our lives have been crazy busy, thus the lack of posting lately. We have moved, again, and hopefully for the last time for a while. Three time in under 12 months is a bit ridiculous! We have moved into our new house, and have been busy painting, fixing up the yard, and lots of other projects. Hadley's mobility has made packing and unpacking more challenging for sure. She turns one year old next month, crazy! It has been a year of lots of changes in our lives, but at the same time we have been very blessed this past year.

Cant do a post without some photos of Haddy.....

Great way to contain her for a minute

Growing Up

This is a really old picture, i have gotten behind on this thing (again). My baby is now nearly 10 months old but this picture is just too cute to not post it. Still super bald, still doing the classic mug shot look, but still cute as ever!!

Mother Dear

On January 1st Kenley's mother passed away in a car accident. JoAnn was the mother of 14 children, a wife of 46 years, a grandmother of 50, and a friend to so many.
Words can not do justice to the hole left by her passing. She always thought of others before herself, she loved everyone and always cheered for the underdog.  Her laugh was contagous, her smile lit the room. She was a listener, a worker, a supporter and a teacher.
I will be forever grateful for the few short years i was able to know her, and for all i was able to learn from her. We are grateful for eternal families and the chance we have to be with her again someday.

Funny Faces

Hadley has some pretty funny faces while eating.  This is her " Are you sure i have to eat this" face. I have yet to get her gagging face on camera, but she is really sensitive to texture and will gag at the first few bites of oatmeal or rice cereal. Water also makes her gag. The one food that she usually never reacts to or makes gross faces at is prunes, she loves them. Funny little girl!

6 Months Old

She finally smiled for the camera! No mug shot this month! Hadley is half a year old, crazy! She has grown up so much just in the last month. She is such a happy and mellow baby, everyone always comments on how laid back and easy going she is. 

-Hadley loves to eat. She loves sweet potatoes and squash lately 

-She loves to play with other kids. Even thou her version of playing is just mostly watching the

other kids play she gets super excited to watch and interact with her little friends

- She has masted sitting up on her own
