Thursday November 3rd...Happy Birthday Hadley!

We did celebrate Hadley's First Birthday on Thursday the 3rd  but saved most of the excitement for The big party Saturday the 5th.  We had her open Mommy and Daddy's gift on her actual birthday a 3 in 1 tricycle. She loves it and rides it 2 to 3 times a day. Then came Saturday... cake, pinata, a flying fish, gift opening,  friends and family.  It was a very special day.

First Halloween

 Hadley had just woken up from her nap when we put her in her costume.  She wasn't to sure about what was happening but once she got outside and saw the other children she was all smiles.  We did some trick or treating in the neighborhood then headed over to Northridge Church for their fall festival.  Hadley wore her lamb costume and was a big hit.

 We used Hadley's hands as the template for the eyes.

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.
