Fun project

I came across a blog where they were embellishing a woman's shirt and I got the idea to try to do the same thing to one of Hadley's onesie's. I  cut strips from an old onesie sealed the edges with liquid sew so they wouldn't fray, pinned them in a pattern and sewed them onto a new onesie tank. Was so easy and looks pretty cute. When it came time to take photos of her in her new shirt she gave me an "oh please, not another photo" look.

California visit

Last week Hadley and I headed to California to visit Grandma and Grandpa.  This was Hadley's second airplane ride but first on Southwest Airlines.  When we arrived in LA, the Captain, a friend of ours was gracious enough to take time out of his schedule to let me take a few photos of Hadley in the left seat.  She did her daddy proud and flashed that famous smile.  Grandma, Grandpa, Hadley and I met in Santa Monica where we had lunch at the Third Street Promenade and then took a stroll on the Santa Monica Pier where Hadley road on her first carousel.

Vacation Bible School

The first weekend of June I spent helping decorate the church for this years Vacation Bible School.  Where ever I go Hadley goes so she put in the long hours too.  She took naps, entertained herself and played with some of the young girls.  She is such an angel.  This years theme was Pandamania.  Here are some photos of the sections I worked on and one of Hadley and her new friend ( sorry its blurry, cell phone photo).  Hadley and I were so blessed by the experience we connected with some lovely girls that do babysitting.

Hadley's a crawlin.

Last week Hadley went from her Army crawl to a real crawl and can pull herself up to stand.  She is also shaking her head "NO".  I'm hoping that doesn't become a habit.  I set the camera down and immediately she does something new. Its hard to keep up.  Hadley and I went to a friends house to play in the pool and she was able to try out her new floaty.  We also have taken her to the YMCA pool.  She really enjoys the water.

7 months

Sorry it has been so long since we have posted anything. We have been very busy and will have much more to post soon.  Time is flying by and Hadley is already 7 months. She is such a joy and is a very happy baby.  I have included a little video of her reaction to her new cell phone.
