Hadley turns 2


Hadley turned two on Saturday. We had a simple party at home & she had the best time.

Hadley is talking more and more, and will repeat almost anything she hears. She has started putting simple sentences together and understands so much. We love that she says, "help YOU please!" when she needs help with something. I guess she hears us say do you want us to help you, and hasn't figured out how to say, "help me."

She loves doing anything her big brother does. She follows him anywhere, and looks to him to know what to do. She loves books and coloring. She loves to draw so much that she found a pen and colored our ottoman for us. Thoughtful, I know.

She is scared of the vacuum...not just when it is on, all the time. Sometimes we pull it out just to keep her out of places we don't want her to go. I know, we are horrible, but it's a cheap guard to keep her out of the kitchen when we are doing hair cuts.

She is sweet and a cuddle bug, and even though she has started showing her 2 year old side from time to time, she is a calm personality in our house. We can't imagine our life without you Hadley Kate!
