I'm a BIG Girl Now!

don't mind her lazy eye... i had to hurry and get a picture

Today Hadley sat up all by herself.. We've been working on it for the last few weeks with no real luck and today she just did it. I can't believe she's 5 months old, she's getting so big.

after being so big and sitting up she was sitting in her bumbo and got a little mad so i went to pull her out and this is what happened... she got stuck....

To much Traveling....

It seems like all we do is travel. We were in Logan for a week then home for week then had to go to st. George for Ben to go to court. and since he had to go down me and Hadley tagged along and made a weekend out of it.. We spent it hanging with Jena, Derek, and potty mouth Kamdyn.... Kamdyn has a great memory,, he he to bad for Jena Kamdyn has learned to repeat a bad word/phrase that is hilarious, she'll just be sitting there and then she'll just start saying it.. so funny.

We had lots of fun just relaxing. and not doing much but visiting with family. Hadley has had enough traveling. so we will be chillin at home for a while...

The Belly Button Band

my friend Jenny has started the greatest business... For all you prego people out there you need to check her site out....

If you want to avoid spending money on maternity pants, the Belly Button is a great option. It expands with your growing belly to keep your jeans snug and comfy when you can no longer fasten them. They give you a layered look without adding bulk. You can leave the hospital after delivery in your pre-pregnancy pants. The denim is one size fits all. The layered style comes in three sizes (S,M,L) and in four different colors (white, black, chocolate, tan).

noise, noise, and more noise

Hadley has learned she has a voice and thinks she needs to make noises all the time.. I love hearing her jibber jabber all day long. here's a little video from this morning, that's when she is the loudest. right when she wakes up. I love walking into her room and seeing her big smiles and hearing her little noises as if she's telling me about her night.

Oh What An Easter

Well this Easter weekend didn't started out not so great. Ben's grandpa passed away on Saturday afternoon, it was and is really hard for Ben. His grandpa was like a dad to their family after his dad died. We were all there when it happened and he went very peacefully. . What a weekend for it to happen on,,, it made the resurrection so more important. The focus at Easter time is always bunnies, baskets, and egg hunts, so it was a much needed refocus on the true meaning of why we celebrate Easter..

Sunday we were at my parents for Easter which also happened to be Jess's birthday and the day before he left for West Virginia.. Ben went home Sunday night and i decided to stay up with Hadley since Ben would be back up today. We've been hanging out with Kyli, grandpa, and grandma while we wait for Ben to come back up... here are a few pictures of our Easter.

hadley's first Hair cut

Last night we were hanging out at Lisa's while Ben and Brent went to get Ben a fishing pole,, I've been saying for a very long time that Hadley needed a hair cut. Poor little girl has had a mullet since she was a month old but her daddy would not let me cut her hair. he loves her crazy hair, as do i ( well all but the mullet ) Lisa's neighbor Lindy came over to give Lisa her clippers so Lisa could shave Max's hair.. see Lindy does hair and i have asked her a thousand times to cut Hadley's hair but we never do it. i walked down to say hi to her and we were all admiring her little white trash hair when Lindy said she'd go get her scissors.... YEAH!!!!! we joked that if Ben came home she was to run as fast as she could but luckily he didn't get home till after. Lisa, Lindy, and I were sitting on the couch and Hadley was laying on the floor naked when Ben came up.. we were all looking at each other and laughing waiting to see if he'd realize but of course he didn't so Lisa had to clue him in by asking him what Lindy does for a living and then he got it.. he picked her and said that it looked good, lucky me, i wasn't sure how he was going to take it...

thanks again Lindy for cutting it for me...

so big

We FINALLY got our camera so i can get started on taking lots more pictures of little miss Hadley. It seems like she changes everyday and i love watching her grow... She loves to stand up and believe it or not she can do it on her own, for the most part, as long as she has a hand to hold or feels so sort of support she's fine. that's all she ever wants to do is stand. she's doing really good at eating and seems to like all the things we've given her baby food wise and grown up food... her daddy loves to let her taste some of the things hes eating. She's now starting to watch you eat and reaches for it so she can have some too... boring post i know i just have to write this stuff down so i can remember it..

*** i just have to say that Hadley really does get her hair done everyday, i was looking through pictures and in 98% of them she has crazy hair.. but what do you do when the second you put her down after doing her hair she rolls around like crazy person ??? ****

dinner time..

playin with her toys...

i just love her in this one

standing up so big

getting ready for bed.. so this is what she would look like if she had no hair.. Ben thought she looked like a mouse.. obviously she hated it.
