Rolling Over
Unless you're a parent (particularly a mom) you'll have a hard time understanding the level of excitement that I feel when Hadley reaches milestones. She has been hard at work for the past 3-4 weeks on trying to turn over and I've been expecting it any day now so I've been trying to be prepared with my phone to video it. Tonight I put her down in her crib so that I could go run her bath and prep for our bedtime routine and when I came back to check on her she was trying to turn over. She was getting so close so I ran to grab my phone just in case. The first video is of her hard at work. Sweet, persistent baby just wouldn't give up.
This video is of her finally succeeding! I'm such a proud mama! -Excuse my high pitched excited voice :)
Here she is again. She's just showing off, now! : )

First Funeral/ Family PJ Afternoon
Last Saturday was a really busy day for our little family. Saturday morning we drove to Red Oak to go to Shane's Uncle Mike's funeral. I was a little nervous about how Hadley would do. I brought a bottle and some toys to keep her occupied as well as her paci- a must have!
We went into the funeral with the family and sat towards the front in the reserved seating. Hadley lasted about 5 minutes before she became restless. I put the bottle in her mouth and seconds later she let out a big poop... right in the middle of a eulogy. Oh Haddie. I think I turned bright red and Shane and Erin (Shane's sister) started laughing- it was pretty embarrassing. I decided after that that Hadley is simply too young to sit up front at funerals and took her to the back for the rest of it.
It was a rainy, blah day so after the funeral we came home and everyone got in their sweats. I just had to take some pictures, because Hadley looked adorable in her little sweats. (I am just so in love with this beautiful little girl!) We took a family trip to the grocery store then relaxed together the rest of the night. I really am loving this season of life. We are so blessed and having such a great time watching our little girl grow!

Lolli and Nonnie's Visit
Thank God for grandma's!
Shane went on a ski trip last week and was gone for a full week. My initial thought when he signed up was HOW IN THE WORLD AM I GOING TO SURVIVE? I've got a full time job and a 3 month old which is a full time job and on top of that I've got to get some sleep! I had no choice but to call in reinforcements. Lolli spent Sunday night through Tuesday afternoon with us and Nonnie spent Wednesday evening through Saturday afternoon with us. They were wonderful. It warms my heart to know that they would drop anything to drive up here and help out. We are very blessed!

Valentine's Day
Shane was at the station this year for Valentine's Day so me and Hadley had a date at home. A few days before Valentine's I found this note along with a note from Shane in my car. I've got the sweetest husband and baby in the world!
Look how smart she is! Already writing at 3 months old!

3 months
Hadley,
When did mommy give you permission to turn 3 months old? Slow down baby! I know I'll look back on this and laugh, but 3 months sounds so big to this new mommy! I am so blessed by you each and every day. I went back to work this month and it's been a hard transition for me. I hate leaving you every morning. You are so special to me and I want to experience all of your milestones with you, but I know that right now I need to be at work so that I can help provide for you.
I'm so proud of you for some of the milestones that you've hit this month. You've started "talking" tons! You say aahhh and squeal this incredibly high pitched squeal. Your daddy likes to say, "Hadley, say ahh..." then when you do he celebrates with you! You'll talk to whoever will listen now-a-days.
You've also been "standing" lately. We'll hold you up and you'll lock your knees to a standing position. You love it. You're not as content sitting here lately. You can hold yourself up for quite a while, too.
You had a rough patch there for awhile when it came to sleeping. Mommy and Daddy were getting up at all hours of the night with you. But, we put you back on your routine and for the past week or so you've been sleeping great. You've even made it until 6:15 am a couple times! You usually go to sleep around 7:30-8 pm then I dream feed you around 9:30 pm. So for you to make it until 6:15 is wonderful! I'm hoping this trend lasts!
You're still very into your fingers! Last month you were trying to stick your whole fist in your mouth, but this month you're all about the fingers. Sometimes you cram them so far back you gag yourself. I've had to put mittens on you occasionally to stop you from doing that.
You've got the sweetest smile. Sometimes when I'm nursing you you'll look up at me and grin the best little grin. Those are some of my favorite smiles. You're not one to give away smiles left and right. We have to work for smiles from you. So for you to offer me a smile free of charge melts my heart.
You have had a little cold recently. You've got a stuffy nose that wakes you up and makes you a little cranky sometimes. I try and suction your nose, but there is not a lot that you hate more. Poor baby. You got your mama's allergies.
I'm so proud of you and so proud to be your mom. You're such a beautiful little baby- everyone tells us! I'm excited to see what this month has in store!
Love always,
Mommy
Sweet squeals!
You are seriously the prettiest baby I've ever seen!

Aunt J's Visit
Jenna took the long trip from Lubbock to Lavon last weekend to meet my precious Hadley. I was so excited for them to meet! Jenna is my best friend and it was killing me that she hadn't met my girl yet; I couldn't wait to show her this new amazing part of my life. Pictures and videos just weren't hacking it. They needed to meet. We had a really good weekend together and even managed to get away just the two of us for some shopping. (Thanks Shane!)
I'm really glad that she came. Hadley loves her already! Now we need to plan a Lubbock trip! Maybe for a football game? Hadley's already got a cheerleading outfit!
