Halloween at the Pumpkin Patch

Because Hadley wasn’t really going to be in to Trick or Treating this year (or her costume for that matter) we took her down to Eugene to spend a hockey free weekend with her godparents, Uncle Scooter and Auntie Jenn.  Hadley loves her godparents, and when I say loves, I mean LOOOOOOOVES them.  She will [...]

Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes….

We’ve been working on teaching Hadley her body parts lately and she’s got them down pat!  We were outside today playing in her baby pool and I took some video of her while I was quizzing her.  I think it’s pretty darn cute, but go ahead and see for yourself.

Summer Fun

We had a beautiful weekend forecast for the Portland area with temps in the mid-80′s.  On Thursday night I went to a grand opening of one of John’s clients in town that sells beautiful leather handbags. Check out Ellington Leather Goods if you get a chance, I ended up buying a perfect weekender/work bag for [...]

And we’re back!

I know it’s been a long time since I have last updated.  It’s crazy to say that “not much has happened”, but we’ve been on a smooth roll for quite some time now.  With the exception of a trip to the ER for Hadley last week for what I was convinced was the Swine Flu–but [...]

The favorite toys of the month

Hadley definitely goes through phases with her toy enjoyment.  She will spend a week obsessing over detergent cups, only to move on to wooden blocks the next week.  The one thing that has stayed pretty constant is her love for music.  You’ve seen the video of her mad kazoo skillz, but she’s also very interested [...]

Rain, rain, go away

I’m off with Hadley on Tuesdays and Thursdays and the rain we have been having lately has seriously been cramping our style.  We used to head to Book Babies at the library but since Hadley is walking she was supposed to move up to the Toddler group.  Unfortunately the Toddler group meets at 10:30, smack [...]

Measles, Mumps and Rubella, Oh my!

We had Hadley’s one year checkup last Tuesday at Dr. Burton’s office.  At her checkup we did all the usual, she was weighed, her ears were checked, we chatted with the Dr. about what to expect in the next couple of months, and then the dreaded vaccinations.  I keep hearing about babies who get the [...]

Happy Birthday Hadley!

Instead of writing about what an amazing year it has been, I think I’ll just post pictures in chronological order.  Enjoy! There are more pictures here, that I uploaded to my Facebook page.  If you don’t have a Facebook page, you should get one (Mom!), but I have made the gallery public, so you can [...]
