This past weekend we headed up north to Bless Hadley... We decided to do it in m parents ward so Ben's grandpa could be there, it was awesome!!! Ben did a great job, he gave the sweetest blessing to our little peanut..(even with Hadley screaming) she's a lucky girl to have a daddy that loves her like Ben does. We are so blessed to have this sweet little girl in our family, she has made our lives so much better... Thank you to all the family that came...... and a very BIG thank you to my mom and Lisa for all there help with the food and set up.

The Miracle of Sleep

My little miss Hadley started out life such a great sleeper.. by 6 weeks old she was sleeping through the night and out of our room... well then something happen and my sweet baby turned into a monster.. She started not falling asleep till 3 or staying up till 4-5 or waking up at 5 after falling asleep at 2 and not going back to bed.. Every time we went anywhere she would be up crying,, (sorry Jena and Derek).... she was exhausted and her mom and dad were exhausted..

Well the last few weeks my good little girl is back. we've been going to bed every night at the same time and she has gone from waking up 3 times a night down to 1 and sleeping in till 8 or 9.. even though she is back in our room her mommy so very happy, since sleep is one of the big issues with my epilepsy..

i just want to say thanks to Ben,,, he is the best Husband any girl could ask for. he's right there every night willing to do anything and stay up however long i need him to even though he has to get up and go to work..

So cross your fingers that Hadley keeps on this schedule or we won't be going anywhere ever again.

not Much Going On

Well we haven't had much going on other then playing at home and going to Logan and St. George which Hadley is now grounded from doing... Sorry family she won't be coming to visit you any time soon. she's still not feeling well from all the traveling and now is a terrible sleeper. that makes her mommy and daddy very frustrated and makes her Mommy very exhausted..but we love her anyways. So here are a few pictures from the last few weeks..

first Hadley got her 2 months shots.. she did great and then invented the walk the pony game which she now loves

this as after her shots.. she was a little out of it

in her tunnel that she loves... the bird is her favorite

Hadley with her Great Grandpa.. oh how she loves him

chillin on the floor

daddy was trying to get her to smile... this is all we got

i love her big blue eyes....

Hadley has a love hate relationship with blankets. 9 times out of 10 she kicks all her blankets off but this day she loved it so much she covered her whole body and fell asleep

my daughter is not an accessories baby.. she hates bow and apparently leggins too... to bad she has to wear them anyways

her hair is getting so long.. so we tried a clip today and even got a little pig tail the other day...

Growing so fast..

i can't believe my little Hadley is already 2 months old.... she is growing so fast and getting so big.. On Sunday we were at my sister Jena's and we weighed Hadley and she already weighs 10 lbs.. I couldn't believe it... here are a few things we've learned about Her in the little time she's been here

1. she loves to sleep on her daddy's chest.. (he loves it too)

2. she HATES having her hands down, especially when she sleeps

3. she loves to sit in her bouncer as long as someones there to talk to her

4. she HATES bows and hats, she cries every time i put one on her.. (to bad for her)

5. she loves to suck on her hands

6. she is a night owl.... 12 o'clock bedtime

7. she loves the tub. she splashes around the whole time shes in there

8. she doesn't like her car seat

9. she likes to be on the floor instead of being held

10. if shes held she like to face out so she can see

11. she loves holding on to shirts or fingers when she's sleeping

12. shes already very strong, standing up and holding her head up..

13. she hates waking up

14. she loves to smile.. and has the biggest and best smile

15. she loves to look at daddy and has to know where he is

16. she looks JUST like her dad

17. she is the noisiest sleeper (she gets that from her dad)

18. she makes the best faces in her sleep

19. she loves to be naked

20. when she's asleep she asleep you can't wake her up for anything. changing her clothes, moving her around, even changing her diaper won't wake her up.

Family photo Shoot

a couple weeks ago we went to get Hadley's pictures done and then decided to get a family shot to. Hadley did great. I had scheduled the appointment while she should have been asleep but she had other plans.. We got there and she decided to wake up right as we started taking pictures, but she only was crying in one shot and then just looked around for the rest. Even being stripped down her diaper she was a happy little girl... we love how they turned out, our baby girl is just to cute...

and on a little note-- Last night Hadley rolle over 4 times,,, thanks to darla for putting her on her tummy.... to crazy

Oh What A Christmas!

this is how Hadley spent Christmas morning

Christmas was lots of fun this year. And having Hadley made it all that better, even though she has no idea what went on and was asleep through most of it, it was fun to have her there with the family. We got to Logan on Christmas eve and spent that night and Christmas morning with my family. Hadley's grandpa loves her just a little bit,,, he was holding her every chance he got and was mad when we took her away from him and was even willing to take a night shift position so Ben and i could get some sleep...Jena, Derek, and Kamdyn came up this year and it was so much fun. I love Kamdyn she has the cutest little voice and just talks all day long. We spent Christmas with Ben's family where we ate to much food and played lots of Mario cart and Guitar hero.. and where we almost didn't make it back to Smithfield because of all the snow.. The snow which made it impossible to get back down to SLC so Ben could go to work the next day, that was Ben's little Christmas miracle. So we ended up staying in Logan from Wednesday to Sunday,,, that was a little to long for me. We had 2 nights of Hadley staying up, Christmas eve she was up till 4 and Christmas night she was up till 5:30 but after that she was great.. we loved being up there and spending it with our families... we have the best family ever!!!!

1 month old already

I can't believe my little Hadley is already 1 month old!! how time flies. Ben says it feels like it's been a month but for me it feels like we just brought her home from the hospital.. She is getting so big and starting to make faces and she loves to sit with her daddy and watch him talk to her... she is so beautiful and i can't imagine our lives with out her...

Where did my good girl go

So Hadley has been a really good baby since she came into the world. she sleeps well and eats well and then when she is awake she is a very content baby, all she wants to do is look around and be held and talked to.

well last night someone took my sweet little baby and gave me one that didn't want to sleep... Hadley is usually up till 12 or 1 so last night at 12 i fed her and then rocked her to get her to fall asleep, she fell asleep and i put her to bed. 10 minutes later she woke up, after an hour of this little game i was pretty tired and handed her off to Ben to get her to sleep. At 2 this morning i woke up to her crying, Ben was having the same luck as me. so i took her and yeah for me she fell right to sleep... but once again the minute i laid her down she woke right back up.. this went on till 4 this morning and then she finally was to tired to wake back up...

how i love my daughter but last night i could have given her away!!!! and tonight's not looking good either,,,,, Wish me luck

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas

the cool but WAY to expensive glass tree

one of my favorite trees

our finally finished christmas tree

Hadley looking at the lights on the Christmas tree

So we've had a pretty uneventful couple of weeks,... Hadley and i have been hanging out at home while Ben is at work and when Ben comes home we have been watching lots of movies and hanging out as a family... Friday night we went with the Ramey's to the festival of tree's, we had a really good time looking at all the cool trees but there was WAY to many people but still fun. I think that we might need to make it a tradition and go every year.,,, I finally got our tree up and decorated after 5 days... 9 feet is a little intimidating when its all put together,,,, And we finally got some snow at our house on Monday which really made it seem like Christmas time but to bad for us it melted by that night... Hadley had her first doc apt. and is doing great, she's growing and gaining weight..


Finally i have to send a big thank you to Jena and my Aunt Cokie for getting my most favorite blanket finished and in my hands,,, i love it!!!! it turned out better then i thought it would.... so thank you
