Miss Hadley (AKA "Smiley"), you are on the move--army crawling that is.  You will get up on your hands and knees but then when you decide you want to get somewhere you lay back down and roll or army crawl to your desired location--which is usually under furniture or any other inconvenient location. 

You babble a lot and say "mama", "dada" and "byebye".  Four teeth allow you to bite...Hard.  Wearing 12 month old clothes and size 3 diapers.  So far you are a great eater. There is not much we can put in front of you that you won't eat. 

Momma may have passed on her out of control hair to you.  It is becoming very blonde and and is still very short on the back and sides of your head.  The hair on top of your head is getting long.  Fixing you hair a challenge for momma (and impossible for daddy).  You usually have it in one long ponytail right on top of your head... but if I have time I'll try to put pigtails in.  You hate it when I do that.  You are the only girl in your daycare class right now and those boys love to pull your hair.  Lucky for you, Caden keeps a pretty close eye on you when he stops by to visit your class.

You are going through a bit of a shy stage and when someone else talks to you, you will give a sweet smile and lay your head down on the shoulder of whoever is holding you.  However, you will let anyone hold you (except Santa--you are not fond of him AT ALL). 

The tantrum stage has hit, but really only when you are hungry or sleepy and someone walks away from you.  Otherwise you are still our happy, laid back girl.

(I don't like it when blog posts don't have at least one picture.  I can't seem to get any pictures to upload on here anymore.  Boo!  If anyone has any ideas as to why please let me know!)
