Happy Anniversary!

Today was Robert and I's 4th anniversary. We made dinner together while Hadley was at Grandma and Grandpa's. It was a rainy day off and on... not typical weather for the end of July.
Also today, Hadley got her first bump. She can crawl and she climbs. Today she fell in between the coffee table and chair and hit her head on the floor. She got her first black and blue mark. I put ice on it and watched her for a few hours but she was alright. She wanted to go back for seconds right after she fell. She is a trooper, she is a mover.

We really have to watch her now. She can really go from one end of the room to the other. She loves vents too, not really sure why but she loves anything and everything she knows she can't have.

Busy Busy

Alright many events have come and gone and yet nothing on the blog. We spent the fourth up at the cabin on Big Sandy. It was beautiful weather. We tried to swim but the water was a little cold for Hadley. We just hung out and enjoyed the relaxation. Hadley was a great little gal. She took her naps, ate all her food and slept well through the night.
That Friday I experienced some issues with a clogged duct. I would try to massage but it just wouldn't go away, I tried the hot tub, Hadley nursing and multiple massages. I finally called Melissa and she scared the crap out of me. She told me I better get working on unclogging it otherwise it would turn into mastitis. So that is when I went into overdrive, I got a heat pack and massaged it... it came unclogged. Thank God!

Then we went right into the big weekend of Isle Days. Of course I had the Fun Run to tend to. Everything went awesome. We had 104 participants. We also had an amazing turn out at the spaghetti dinner. Hadley hung out with Daddy on Friday night and I got to go out on the town. We brought you up to the beer gardens for a little while to check out Danny's band. You were full of smiles. You love to just look around at all the different things. Saturday after the Fun Run you and I took a nap, since Mommy was a little tired from her first big night out since you were born. Then we got ready for our 5th annual parade party. We had many guests and tons of kids. It is so weird to see all the little ones. A few years ago there weren't many kids, now there are dozens.

I tried to keep you up to see the fireworks but you were not able to make it. You were to bed around 9:30pm. A half hour shy of the big show. Oh well - there is always next year. All and all we have been very busy, but we have had fun while doing it. You have been a great sport and you seem to enjoy the movements from one event to another. Let's hope so because we are off to Grand Marais for the weekend. Can't wait to show you Mommy's favorite Minnesota town.

Happy 7 months!

Today we tried little puffs. Hadley can't quite pick them up yet but she knows how to chew them. She tried to pick them up but it was like she was just playing. Tonight we are going to BeLas for a BBQ. Kendra and Bryon are in town and we haven't got to hang out with them much so we decided to throw a last minute BBQ. I hope the rain holds off.

Crawling & More

Hadley is almost crawling. She is so close. It is funny because sometimes she wants to be held and then sometimes she just wants to be on the ground rolling around. She can get up on her hands and knees. She rocks and slowly takes a crawl step...then she falls...she gets up again and falls...then she army crawls...flops...rolls...and "oh my gosh" she has made it across her bedroom floor. I guess it is time to put up the upstairs gate.

Tonight we visited with Kendra at Auntie Laurie's house. Nevaeh was there and she wore Hadley out. Hadley showed off her new crawling moves. The gals took their first bath together. Then Hadley was out. Seriously, come 9pm and that is Hadley's bedtime. Nevaeh entertained us. She said the word 'more' in the right context. She wanted more lotion on her hands. It was so cute to hear. Part me of can't wait for Hadley to talk, another part of me wants her to stay little forever. I don't ever want to hear back talk.
