Hadley is 18 months!

Sweet sweet girl! 18 months has snuck up on me and it's making mommy all too sad that you're no longer a baby!  You have developed into your own little independent person with sass and dramatics (sometimes too much sass and too much drama!).  You're communicating with us all the time and it's so fun to hear all the new words you say and finally be able to understand you and all the things you want :)  Each day you come home from school and have learned a new word or tell us a new word.  Before you know it, you and Bubba will be sneaking into each others room late at night to gab gab gab.

This Month You......

• LOVE to dance. You have the music inside you girlfriend!  You're favorite song is "What does the Fox say?" but you really will drop it likes its hot to anything that has a big bass beat!  Hip hop music definitely gets you going!
• Started walking up and down stairs (2 or 3 at a time).  You definitely have some trouble with it because of your ONH and depth perception issues, but you try and you're getting it! Mom still has fun watching your face as you go down stairs and your foot drops to the next step.  You reaction is as if you are surprised the drop happened! "Hey! Where did that come from?!" Makes me giggle :)
•  Have had quite the naked streak.  You like to take off your clothes often and it doesn't matter where.  At home...at daycare...in the middle of Target!
  
• Went pee pee in your potty all on your own!!! You pointed to your diaper, got undressed and sat on your potty!  We were SOOOO proud of you.  But, it hasn't stuck yet.  Soon we hope!
• Love love love sweets! Just like your mommy.
• Are starting to throw tantrums. Big time!  If we don't give you want you want, you physically fall to the floor and won't move.  
• Are testing your boundaries.  You know what "No" means but you don't always follow the direction.  The other day you were trying to unplug all of the TV/DVD plugs and mommy yelled "Hadley! No no!" You stopped, turned around and looked at me, but kept your hand on the plugs.  You had this look of "how serious are you right now?"
• Climb EVERYTHING!  Right now you have figured out how to climb on the kitchen table chair and then onto the kitchen table.  Even falling off and hurting yourself doesn't stop you from doing it!
• Like to watch mommy and daddy cook.  You will drag a chair into the kitchen and then climb on it to watch as we make things on the stove.
• Have such a sense of amazement with everything.  Everything is new and exciting to you!  It's so fun sitting and watching you explore.
• Smile with all your teeth and scrunch your nose! Just like mommy does :)
