Hadley is 2 months old today!

I can't believe that our little girl is 2 months old already! Time has flown by.  We just got back from our family vacation to Nashville so that all the relatives could meet our sweet new addition.  Wilkes was such a proud big brother and kept telling his BeBe that she wasn't taking care of Hadley the right way!  Big brother does know best after all :)

As I have promised myself, I plan to write to Hadley every month until she is 1 yr old to help me (and her) remember all her milestones and accomplishments each month.  So, baby girl this is to you.

You
  • Weighed 12 lbs 4oz at your last doctors appointment (9/19/2012), that's 4 lbs in 5 weeks!  You were 22 inches long, having grown 3 inches since birth.  You are in the top of your percentiles.  It's no wonder, you drink 4-6oz at a time every 2-3 hours!  Daddy calls you his " little hamhock" but promises to stop by the time your 16. 
  • don't mind the diapers changes as much anymore.  Sometimes you even laugh at me when I am changing you as if you know you had a really stinky fanny!
  • don't like being left in  room alone and will let us know!
  • love to be bounced. Sometimes it is the only thing that will make you stop crying!
  •  are starting to find your hands. I'm not sure you have actually "seen them" but you put them in your mouth more often. You still hit yourself in the head. HAHA.
  • love "talking to us." We take turns making sounds and you'll coo back and smile really big! 
     
  • have mastered the pacifier.  You certainly do like it and fall asleep with it.  But, mommy better not touch it while you're sleeping or baby apocalypse ensues!
  • Have experienced your first 3 days at daycare and seem rather unphased by the whole ordeal.  Mommy however worked herself into a panic 3 weeks prior to you even having to go (but she was able to drop you off without crying! yay mommy!)
  • have mastered what is referred to as the "quiver lip." When you're really upset your bottom lip gets going at the speed of light.  It's so sad to see! Even the daycare ladies have commented that it's been a long time since they have seen one of those (Tip: Don't ever lose that, it may get you that red convertible you'll want when your 16 from dad!)

  • love to snuggle

  1. I Love it! Great idea to capture the special moments and events before time fades the memory. Hadley will certainly appreciate this when she gets older.

    Love to all.
