A LOT... and I mean, A LOT has been happening.
First and foremost.. My daughter Hadley just had her 1st Birthday on the 11th!
We threw her a cute little Hungry Caterpillar birthday party..
it was very stressful getting it all put together so that is why I never got around to doing her one year post! So here it goes:
YOU'RE WALKING HADLEY!!!
she started those little baby steps on April 5th.
We woke up one morning and I just had the urge to take her to the playground area here at the RV park. As soon as I set her down in the rocks she was up and wobble walking! (Just like a little penguin) soo cute!
As the day progressed she became better and better and from there on out she has been walking!
I cried that day.
She's growing up soo fast.
She still is not sleeping through the night.
She has however, cut down to only waking up once in the night to cuddle or eat.. I can't complain.. I get 6-8 hours of sleep every night, and I feel rested when I wake.
She is now drinking 2-3 sippy cups of soy milk a day.. and she has all three meals with snacks in between. She is eating soo great now. It just took me being persistent with putting food in front of her face to get her to eat it!
No new words and I've been trying soo hard to teach her some! Like, baby, puppy, cute... Nothing. Just dada and mama. I can tell she soo badly wants to say these words but she just yells baby babbles.. I gotta say, it is very adorable.
She sometimes talks back when I tell her "No."
She will raise her voice and shout and then shake her head No.. haha. She definitely knows what that means.. I have been trying to teach her "yes".. but she has no interest. I have also been trying to teach her baby sign language.. she doesn't hold her attention long enough to look at my face and put two and two together.. That's okay though. She knows what, "You want a bite?" means and.. "Are you thirsty? Do you want a drink?" She is very smart and it amazes me what she comes to understand within the few short weeks of me teaching her.
Her favorite T.V. shows consist of Elmo's World, Pocoyo, Beginning Together (Sesame Street DVD for babies) and the Backyardigans.. She stillll loves them :) I think it's the singing and dancing.. she loves to do both. She stands up and bounces to music when it comes on and sings "la la la" ( The theme song to Elmo's World )
She loves babies.
Anything to do with her baby doll.. or real babies.. she is interested. This lady that lives a few trailers down from us has a 3 month old.. and Hadley is ALWAYS walking over to her when they're outside to get a good look at the baby. It is soo adorable.
She loves for me to read to her, and I love reading to her. I hope she keeps her interest in books. More so than movies anyway.
Hadley dear.. You have been growing up soo beautifully. You are smart and the SWEETEST baby I know. I love you.
We had an alright Easter.
Hadley got to hang with my side of the family.. and she had lots of fun playing with her cousins and hunting for easter eggs.
DRAMA QUEEN!
Like I had said at the beginning of this post, A LOT has been going on.. So let's get to it!
Tyler, Hadley and I will be adding a new addition to our little family!
That's right! We are having another baby!!
I know that I should have written this a while back.. but things have been busy, busy. SO YAH! Another baby! The majority of the people that are reading this post already know soo I didn't think it was all that important to blog about it right away, but it's time to put this all down on the blog :)
I am 4 months pregnant! This pregnancy feels like it has gone by much faster.. but it has been a bit more rough with this one.. I guess because I already have a daughter! haha.
I got my blood drawn yesterday and I am currently waiting on a text from my midwife letting me know when my gender ultrasound is! AH! I KNOW! EXCITING! We are hoping for a baby boy.. but we will be happy no matter what.
I will definitely be keep you guys updated!
Here is a picture of the little baby a month ago..
So what do you guys think?
BOY? GIRL?
leave me your guesses.
UNTIL NEXT TIME!
<3
