Another weekend on the road

We've practically forgotten what it's like to spend a weekend at home. We met friends at Big Cedar for a cold, but fun, weekend. Who knew it would snow this close to April!!! I'll let the pictures sum up the weekend...At least we enjoyed the sunshine 2 out of 3 days.

Another group photo that Hadleigh is thrilled about!

Justin and Michelle with us in the Lodge

Are they all really looking at the camera!?!

So sweet holding hands

Meeting the horses

Beautiful spring flowers...before the snow

Christian was so excited to finally bring Hadleigh to Big Cedar

Big Sister Practice

Hadleigh got a trial run in being a big sister last weekend. We went to visit some friends in Magnolia who have the most beautiful 3 month old, Leighton. She is such an angel. She hardly made a peep the whole time we were there and she already sleeps all through the night. I hope our baby was taking notes from the belly! Anyways, Hadleigh did great with Leighton. She was a big help while Christian was feeding her and didn't get jealous when I held her. Let's hope this trial run was a good indicator of how she will be with her sister.

Hadleigh was in heaven playing with all the toys that were there. She had her eye on this Dora Jeep from the moment we pulled into the driveway. She couldn't quite reach the pedal by herself, but she loved tinkering with the radio.

Weekend in Tampa

Here are pictures from our fun weekend in Tampa. We saw a few basketball games, went to the zoo, swam in the pool, and pretty much just allowed Hadleigh to entertain us the rest of the time. Hadleigh is still recovering from all the activity. The plane ride home yesterday was not fun at all. She refused to sleep, but was so tired that she was not a real pleasant camper. Christian told her it was her last flight until she was in high school...we'll see how long that holds up.

Dancing in her pj's and other accessories she picked out.Touching the stingrays with Aunt K (KK as Hadleigh calls her)

Up close and personal with the giraffe

Is Pops about to feed Hadleigh to the catfish?

Daddy thought it would be a fun picture...Hadleigh not so much

Hadleigh's favorite attraction at the zoo

Two Chi O's and a future one with the owl...

...then the owl attacks. Hadleigh and I oblivious to the smack-down Kristen received by the wing of the owl. Way to upset the poor owl, K!

Another group shot where Hadleigh is screaming. Maybe she doesn't like to share the spotlight???

Ready for her first swim of the season. Come on summer!

A Day with Daddy

Here are some pictures from the weekend. We spent Saturday morning at the Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk. It seemed to be a big success and Hadleigh had a great time eating up all the bananas. After the walk, Christian and Hadleigh spent the afternoon together at the baseball game. FYI, Christian put together Hadleigh's outfit for the day all by himself...poor girl!

18 months

Wow, 18 months can really fly by! Our little girl is growing up so quickly. It's hard to imagine that our baby is soon going to be a big sister. She had her 18 month check up on Friday and everything looks great. Unfortunately for the doctor Hadleigh still has A LOT of stranger anxiety, so she practically had to be wrestled down just to get a peek in her ears. Our poor doctor (who came highly recommended by the fellow pediatricians of the family) is probably wishing I'd try someone else out! She is still hanging out in about the 25th percentile for all her stats. She's weighing in at 22.2lb and 30.5" tall. Her feet are also small for her age. She is wearing a size 4 (but can still fit in some of her 3's). I'm hoping she has a little growth spurt soon because all the summer shoes I've bought for her are 5's...she may be tripping over them for a while!
Here are some pictures from last weekend at Landon's birthday party. It was a pizza buffet with lots of cake and ice cream, but all our healthy little one wanted was a huge bowl of applesauce. No wonder she's only 22lbs!
