Month 3 with Hadley

Im 3 months old today!
 Sunday was the 3 month mark for Hadley.  She is so much fun! She loves everything and is very easy going. Its amazing that she is rarely fussy but if she is you can bet its because she is either hungry or tired. Here are a few of the major milestones we hit this month:
  • Hadley was baptized over Memorial Day weekend
  • No negative reaction from her first real round of vaccinations
  • We survived my first overnight business trip. I have several short trips over the next few months so last week was Karl's first real chance to have the girls completely to himself. He had to manage them for two nights and one morning during the week.
  • We took our first trip to the neighborhood swimming pool and Hadley got to stick her feet in the water. She didn't seem to mind too much and got a short poolside nap in. On our second visit we attempted to get her into her starfish floaty but she wasn't really excited about that yet. She also does not enjoy wearing hats.
  • She is big enough to take rides in the buggy at school. She falls asleep every time.
  • She can grab and hold on to toys and other small things. She especially likes to hold onto her clothes and hair while she is eating.  She is reaching for the hanging toys on her play mat and likes to put the rings in her mouth.
  • She has great focus and it starting to recognize our faces and voices very well.
  • Smiles and giggles a lot, especially in the mornings. She talks up a storm to the ladies at day care too.  She is clearly trying to keep up with her sister.
  • She has recently lost a ton of hair. Mostly around the sides and top of her head. I find her little hairs on everything! Can't tell yet if her hair will be curly like Ally's or not but she definily has a lot less hair over all than Ally did.
Hadley is still a fantastic eater and sleeper. Here is our current daily schedule:
  • 6:30 I wake her up and she is all smiles. Change diaper and get clean clothes.
  • Nurse until 7 when we need to get Ally up
  • 7:30/7:45 Everyone is out the door on the way to school and work. We drive together when we can otherwise I usually take the girls in.
  • Hadley takes 3, 4 oz bottles at school. Depending on how she naps its about every 3 hours.
  • Some days she will take 1 long nap but right now she takes a couple of 45 minute to 1 hour snoozes during the day. Miss Lori loves to snuggle with her so she gets rocked with her paci or falls asleep eating. Every once in a while she gets so busy that she passes out playing on the floor.
  • Pick up from school between 4:30 and 5:30 depending on who picks up
  • Nurse before big people eat dinner
  • Playtime and take Ella for a walk
  • Bath time and feeding time again before putting into bed between 9:45 and 10:15
Hadley's next doctors visit will be mid-August when she will get another round of shots and we will begin the rice cereal experiment. Here are a few photos from this month.

SISTERS. Ally is really getting into the matching things.
Testing out the Bumbo for the first time. Not really a fan yet.
