Day 365

We have finally made it, 365 days! Hadley Grace is one year old, I can hardly believe it. What a blessing she has been to me and my life. She is one amazing little girl; she is full of life, personality, and love. She has, for the most part, been an easy baby and makes me laugh almost daily.

This month was pretty big one as far as milestones are concerned:

• Hadley is officially walking and walking everywhere....she is very fast!
• She is eating 3 meals of "real people" food a day
• We are doing 2oz of whole milk mixed with 6 oz of formula, soon to be 4 oz of milk to 4 oz of formula, perhaps by 13 months she will be on straight milk!
• She can brush her teeth
• She has mastered the sippy cup and can feed herself with a spoon- sort of
• She can point
• She is starting to be able to pick out animals, for example she can pick out a cow or a pig from a line up of animals
• We have introduced puzzles, so hopefully next month she will be closer to mastering those
• She sat through an entire church service with me and did not cry
• She got to see lots of family and friends as we celebrated her first Christmas
• She went to her first parade
• She sat on Santa's lap multiple times and did not cry!
• She tried lots of new foods and snacks
• She can brush her own hair
• She has learned how to feed Maggie from her high chair!

There is so much more, it is crazy how quickly she is growing up. I am so thankful to have such awesome family and friends that have been my support system this last year, I am so lucky that so many people are in our lives that truly care about us! I am even more grateful for today and the celebration of this past year!


Hadley got several things for her first birthday, including a zebra chair, puzzles, clothes, and lots of new toys! She also got her very own cupcake which she seemed to love!
