Sick Visit
This was actually about a month ago, since I'm super behind on blogging, and normally I wouldn't document a sick visit, but this particular visit was Hadley's first time to have her blood pressure taken with a cuff. And yes, that's a little silly to document, too, but it was just one more reminder that she's growing up.

Hadley 29 months
Hadley,
This month you have made me laugh, challenged me, kept me on my toes and filled my heart to the point of overflowing with love. Your facial expressions, the things you say... they have me laughing constantly. The other day you were being funny and I was laughing and you said, "I cwackin you up!" Yes, baby, you are!
We're on day 3 of potty training, and it's still about 50/50 on whether or not you'll go in the potty. If I get you to sit on the potty then you're pretty good about going, but if I forget and go too long in between potty breaks you'll wet your pants. I have to say, potty training is not my favorite part of parenting. But, if I have to potty train someone I'm glad it's you!
Yesterday (Wednesday) you and daddy went to get me a mothers day gift. Mothers day is Sunday so y'all are on the ball! ;) You came back and proudly announced that you got me some special presents. (Melt my heart!!!) Then you looked at daddy and said, "Where my Daniel Tiger book? Dada! Where my Daniel Tiger book?" To which daddy tried to suppress a smile and said, "That's supposed to be for mommy on Sunday." Happy mother's day to me! : ) And, sweetie, I love your thoughtful gift. Mommy loves reading to you and you love Daniel Tiger. It's a win-win!
I love you babe! You are my sunshine!!

Brooks 8 Months
Hey Buddy!
You are 8 months old and I cannot wrap my head around it! There's no way... times just going by TOO fast! You have hit a major milestone this month... actually on the day you turned 8 months... you are CRAWLING! And getting better and better at it everyday. You are loving your new independence. You see Hadley running around and have always wanted to join in her fun. You'll fuss and reach for her telling me that you want to be mobile too! Well, darling, you're on your way! Don't get me wrong, yes, you love your new independence, but you still want mama to hold you. A lot. It used to be that in order for me to get anything done I'd have to set you down and you'd start crying and roll on your back, but now I'll set you down and you'll start crying but you'll try to follow me throughout the house. It's so sweet. I hope you're a mama's boy forever!
We're still waiting on you to get teeth. You're a late bloomer in the teeth department, but no worries, so was I. I turned out with all my teeth, so I'm sure you'll get yours eventually!
You are loving all the new foods that I'm feeding you. I try and give you healthy foods, but your favorite thing to eat is a Popsicle. You LOVE those! And your sisters pretty good about sharing hers with you.
I love to listen to you guys make each other laugh. Just this morning I was listening to y'all laugh at each other in your high chairs over breakfast. Goodness you love her. And she's pretty fond of you, too. If we ever leave you with Daddy to go run a girls errand she will always ask where Gwooks is.
Funny story: We are in the midst of potty training Hadley. We had her training Elmo potty in the living room and all of us were in there encouraging her to go when we finally got her to tee tee in it! Dad and I were so excited that we scooped her up and took her into the kitchen for a treat. Suddenly we heard her elmo potty flush from the living room and it hit me... BROOKS! Yes, you got a little wet. I'm still getting used to you being mobile... and curious!
I love you so much sweetheart!
Always,
Mommy
