Adventure Girl

Hadley is a climber and an explorer. I was able to catch the first successful climb on to the couch and photos of other recent adventures.

First Birthday Party

Hadley attended her first birthday party on Sunday. Her friend Daly was turning four. They had an art project, a pinata, goody bags and cup cakes. Her being so little there was only so much she could participate in but she had a great time.

  

Fun photos

Here are some fun photos from the last couple of weeks. Hadley received a beanbag and a hiking carrier from her mommy's friend Edy. We have done a couple of short hikes but hope to do some longer ones once it cools down a bit more.  Hadley loves to be pushed around in her plane.  You would never guess by the look on her face.  Caught her chewing on some raw onions which she seemed to like.  Not sure what side of the family she got that from. And last but not least a photo of her bonding with her big brother Dash.

Swim Lesson

Hadley has had her second swim lesson at the YMCA. She works on kicking, floating on her back, using her arms, blowing bubbles, climbing out of the pool and submerging her head. Daddy was here to attend this lesson and acted as camera crew...thank you daddy.  At first I wasn't to sure about her bathing suit but once she got it on I thought it was the cutest thing I had ever seen. Eat your heart out Esther Williams.

First Pumpkin Patch

 Hadley is now eleven months old and what a fun age it is. With her interacting more we are so excited to be introducing her to new places and things. We recently were invited to go with some friends to a local pumpkin patch where they had a petting zoo, a ride, a corn maze and lots of pumpkins. Hadley had so much fun that we will have to take her to another before the end of the month.

Train Park

Daddy thought it would be a fun idea to go visit the train park.  Once we got on the train we pulled out the big fancy camera and... no memory card. I don't think we will be making that mistake again, but our cell phones came through for us and caught all the action. Note to self always keep an extra memory card in my purse/ diaper bag.  Hadley had fun on the train but was not to sure of the carousel ride. She had been on the Santa Monica pier carousel and didn't seem to have a problem but not this time. After the train park we went to the mall to have lunch and let Hadley run around. Her favorite part was the loud music played by the stores. One store in particular she stopped and started dancing.  We didn't get the camera out in time to catch it, so you will have to take my word for it, "super cute!"

Wrapping up our trip to New Jersey

We have returned from our trip to New Jersey and are just getting around to adding the last post. Hadley and I had such a wonderful time and look forward to our next visit. While at Chichi's, Hadley surprised us with how well she could go up stairs considering she never had been up stairs before.
