A Weekend of Firsts!!

So Hadley just keeps on trucking.
This weekend she decided to start liking
food. We have been going through the
motions for over two months with most
of it ending up on us. Sunday afternoon
Hadley kicked it into high gear. She
now eats over a half jar of veggies and
fruit, then polishes of a 6oz bottle.
Lookout growth charts!!!!!!!

Ever day I count my blessings with
her...but of course I save time to have
fun to, hence the glasses look!

BIG GIRL!!

So on Wednesday of last week Hadley decided
to do a half roll...we can't count it because
it was on the couch so I assume the angle helped
her.

Here is the evidence.





Hadley had her six month check up last week...
Kind of early but we had to check on her ears
from the recent ear infection.
Weight: 16lbs 4oz, 26 inches and 45 cms on head circ.
She's maintaining at the 50th percentile!! Just perfect!

This weekend we participated in my cousin's first
annual golf outing...here is Mark and I before the
big tee off. I was on the only all girls team with
some of my family members...needless to say we
thought we were FANTASTIC but we of course
got the "worst team award" hahahaha!!
I tried to donate it back but it was free
golf so we had to take it. Regardless it
was a blast and we were able to raise over
$3,000 for the grief camp. So proud to be
a member of the Lauf family!



While we were at the outing Hadley decided
to officially roll over, not once but three
times and then showed us when we got home that
night. She is so darn special!!

Where Have We Been?!

So being done with classes for the
month I thought I would have all
this time...WRONG. Not sure what
we do but somehow I never have a chance
to even breath!

We got to enjoy Brogan the first
weekend in August, it was so nice
to have a newborn around again....



Mark the ever involved dad even does
Hadley's hair!



Her reaction says it all HAHA!

WOW

So this is my favorite picture of Hadley taken
right when she was born. It's impossible to believe
it really was only five and a half months ago that
that little maniac joined our family. She is honestly
just TOOO much. Rarely is she moody (nothing like her ma?!)
and always has a smile, even when we wake her up at 6
in the morning. I just realize more and more that children
are a gift from God and they are the most beautiful parts
of their parents wrapped up in one! Mark and I have been so
blessed and I love sharing stories with my friends and family
who have been on or are beginning the journey of
parenthood, it really is the coolest club to be a part
of!!

Unbelievable

I look at her in Mark's arms and I
honestly can't believe she is already
so big. So many people tell you it goes
by so fast and to enjoy it, and it really
does fly by right in front of your eyes?!
So I've decided I will just have to spoil
her like crazy, take tons of pictures, and
just reflect on my BLESSING!!



Posing with DaDa



To continue the reflecting theme, another
tid-bit is that our wedding is two months
away...TWO MONTHS?!?! While I can't wait
for the festivities we may not quite be ready,
but invites are done and will be going out soon
woohoo....no turning back now?! ha

Silly Time

She's just too precious!!


Now that I have a break from class
I am spoiling her ALL evening long!



So, Mark definitely doesn't have air conditioning
and I have been driving his car lately. Lil miss
definitely got warm on the way home this day. Look
at these scrumptious red cheeks!!
