Hadley FOUR Months

Hi Sweet Haddie,

Happy 4 Months!!

I am a little late on this post too- it is becoming a theme :) But I promise I will never forget one in your first year of life. Better late than never right?

You continue to be such a joy and light in our lives. Your happiness, smiles and laughs are so contagious. You make us all better people just because of who you are! You are such a content and easy baby...we couldn't ask for anything else! Your Dad told me as we were getting you ready for bed the other night, that you make him want a third baby. You must be pretty amazing for him to say that ;)

We took you and your sissy to the doctor on Tuesday for your 4 month check up and her 3 year! You did SO good. You are quite a little chunk weighing 15.7lbs (73%) and are 25.5" long (83%). Your little rolls are so delicious! You got 4 shots and took them like an absolute pro! You are already in 6m clothes and pushing those so about to move up to 9m. You and Avery are totally opposite on your clothing sizes and seasons, so you have been getting a lot of new cute clothes! Your Daddy isn't too happy about that, but of course I am :)

This past month has been a fun one! You have started to roll over and are talking SO much. You love to have something in your mouth all the time...hands are your favorite but you love your little ring toys as well. You will eat your blankets, bibs, clothes etc...anything you can get your hands on! You laugh so much when we tickle you and make funny noises. You love just staring at our faces and smiling. That is my favorite thing to do with you. We just talk to each other and smile all the time! You still love Avery more and more each month. When she talks to you, you just laugh and smile away. You think she is pretty great...so do we ;)

You love bath time...seriously I think you could stay in there all night if we let you :) You also love being held by your dad in the baby bijorn carrier. But you only like facing outwards. You like to see everything going on. You are quite the cat napper...you only take a few 20-45 minute naps each day. But you still sleep about 12 hours a night non stop, so you can nap however you please! You have only woken up one time in the middle of the night since you were 5 weeks old...that's pretty amazing! And even that one time, you went right back to sleep after we rocked you for a second. You'll never know how grateful we are that you and your sissy have been amazing sleepers from the beginning. Please NEVER change :)

You like watching TV and hanging out in your bouncer...as long as you have a toy with you that you can put in your mouth at all times. You love to sit up (when we help you) and stand on your feet. You have started to use your exersaucer a lot...the bottom is propped up on pillows so you can reach!

I can't wait to see what this next month has in store for you sweet girl!!

Love,
Mommy

Hadley THREE Months

Dear Sweet Hadley,

Happy 3 Months!!

I am a little late in this post, but I am happy I fit it in before you turned four months! This third month of your life has been amazing. You are the sweetest and happiest little girl and you melt our hearts on a daily basis. 

You started daycare and are doing SO well. They love you so much because you are so easy going and loveable. You really never cry, and if you do fuss, it's because you're letting us know it's time for your bottle. I have never heard you cry for more than a few seconds- it's pretty crazy! You also have slept through the night every single night since you were 5 weeks old...literally haven't woken up in the middle of he night one time. We put you down anywhere from 7:15-8 and you sleep until 7-7:30 the next morning. A lot of mornings, we have to wake you up to get you ready for school because your still sleeping :)

Your teacher, Miss Tafari, nicknamed you tinker bell or "think tink" for short because she said you're so sweet and small :) I think you are way too big though and need to stop growing ASAP! You're in 6m clothes and can even fit into some 9m! Since you and Avery are so off in clothes seasonally, you're getting a lot of cute new outfits! #sorrydad

We'll find out your weight at the dr in a week or so for your 4 month appointment, but I'm guessing it'll be 14lbs and you're so long so maybe 26"!

You have become quite the talker! You blabber away every second you aren't smiling or laughing. Your smiles are infectious- seriously. You constantly have a smile on your face and it makes us and everyone around you so full of joy. You LOVE when your sister plays and talks to you. You just stare at her with the biggest smile on your face in awe. It's the sweetest thing ever. You love putting your hands in your mouth-we have to keep a paci nearby so you don't chew them raw :) You love bathtime! Sometimes you take one with me and sometimes in your own bath with Avery, but every time you simply love being in the water! You adore a ton of kisses on your cheek and being blown on the tummy- you crack up and get the biggest smile and look at us with such joy in your big blue eyes. You are just so yummy and sweet...we have a hard time not eating you up!!!

We love you so much sweet Haddie Bear!!

Love, 

Mommy
