Hadley, you are a big, healthy and happy girl! You have the SWEETEST smile and you are not afraid to show it.
You are still sleeping through the night most of the time but we still have you sleeping in our room in a pack-n-play because we are just not quite ready to move Caden to a big bed. The biggest challenge is actually getting you to sleep. We are not always great about sticking to a schedule and if you get too sleepy it can by very hard to get you to relax enough to sleep. I sometimes get desperate and just breastfeed you, even though you are not actually hungry, but because it is so comforting to you.
Right now, it is usually momma that can soothe you when you are upset, but you sure like to laugh at daddy. Caden is a big source of your entertainment and you love watching him play. He can't wait for "Sissy" to start playing with him.
Dr. Yap told me at your appointment that you are very much ready for stage 1 veggies and fruits. He said he was impressed that you are almost sitting up on your own and that you love to stand. As he went to put his hand on your belly to finish your check-up, you let out the biggest belly laugh I have ever heard come out of someone so small. Dr. Yap got so tickled that he couldn't even finish what he was doing.
You still look so much like Caden. Your hair is darker than his, but it's starting to come in blonde. You have also almost completely rubbed it off of the sides and back. I'm so excited to watch you two grow up together... just don't do it so fast!
