best buds.

just a couple pictures from yesterday of hadleigh playing with her best bud... she is loving sonny lately. mostly, she loves to torture sonny. she tries to "pet" him, which is really beating him on the back instead... she tries to pull him off the couch by his legs... and she chases him around the house so that she can grab him by the lips and nostrils and pull as hard as she can. he tries to escape, but she follows him until he gives up. luckily, he's a very good sport about it all :)

911.

hot mess called 911 today. bright and early at 7:30am just to say hey. she was playing with jered's cell phone and the keys were locked... she still managed an emergency call. when we got a call back to make sure everything was okay, we were very surprised that she'd done that! needless to say, hadleigh's lost all cell phone privileges from here on out.

operation no more paci.

operation no more paci starts this week -- saturday is day #1. wish us luck. lots of luck.

fifteen.

this precious girl is fifteen months old! she is awesome. period. she seriously brings so much joy to our life and is SO MUCH FUN. she's getting so big and learns new stuff every day. she is now a full-out fit thrower when she doesn't get her way -- then she realizes we aren't paying attention to the fits and gets over it :) she gives kisses to us and to sonny, is learning to eat with a spoon and fork by herself, and is talking up a storm. most of what she says we can't understand, but she's mastered the basics and throws in some others like bubble, ball, and woof; we're working on hadleigh and sonny. she's started "dancing" all over the place and it's the cutest thing you'll ever see. jered and i need to get it on video for everyone to see. she's eating everything you put in front of her -- her favorites right now are bananas, cheese, yogurt, and green beans. she is into EVERYTHING now -- drawers, cabinets, shelves, baskets, everything. if there is something in there that she can reach, you better believe everything will be strewn on the floor once she gets ahold of it. she's actually paying semi-attention to one tv show now. it's called word world -- it's a cute cartoon on pbs kids. she loves to dance to all the songs. i can't wait to see what comes next...

hi.

tough cookie.

if you look closely at hadleigh's right cheek... you'll see a cut and a pretty little bruise. this is hadleigh's first real 'injury'. she got in a fight with the side of the coffee table last week -- the coffee table won. she was running in between the table and the couch and lost her balance. slammed her face right into the side of it. she's such a trooper though! she cried for a few minutes and then was back up and running!

daddy's girl.

look at this sweet girl's face. could she love her daddy more?
