10 Months

Well hard to believe but its been 10 months since our angel joined our family :)
Hadley is growing like a weed and we are loving seeing her little personality develop. Graham thinks he is in a little bit of trouble since she 'appears' to have my temper! haha. She is such a sweet girl. She loves to cuddle and give sweet hugs to mommy and daddy. I think she is learning to give kisses, but it usually is just her gumming my face or biting my nose! ;) She is getting a little braver when it comes to walking. She cant do it on her own, but holds onto the couch, love seat, ottoman, or her walker and takes off. She crawls so FAST and is into EVERYTHING! She loves staring at herself in the glass on the front of the stove and 'helping' Mommy in the kitchen, aka, following me around in while I am cooking.
She is so happy and I LOVE seeing her sweet smile. She has started want G and I call the 'duct and roll' during diapers changes... Which simply means when as soon as we get her diaper off, she arches her back, rolls, and crawls away as fast as possible giggling her little head off! haha. Most of the time we think its pretty funny... Ok, all of the time! :)



AND HER FIRST WORD IS:


MAAAAA MMMMMMAAAAAA! That's right mama! I love hearing it.... Honestly the best feeling ever when she is saying mama, mama, mmmmmm ma! hehe. We are now working on Dada.

She is getting so big. She is mostly in 12 month clothes these days. She is a little string bean, long and lean.
We have starting planing her first birthday party! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT! I am sure every mother feels this way, but seriously, 1st birthday? Already? We are so excited to celebrate with her, just sad that its gone so fast.
Hads Loves her wagon! And her cousin Lexi

I hope everyone has a wonderful week!

Jamie, Graham, and Hadley

Long time, no post...

Last week one of the most amazing women I have ever known went to be with Jesus. Leslie 'Bond' Evans was such a special person. A wonderful wife, mother, friend, sister, and so much more. She had a beautiful voice that she shared with so many. We were so fortunate to have her sing at our wedding 2 years ago. I will never forget her and miss her dearly. Please check out her story and see how many lives Leslie touched and continue to touch in her passing... lesliejoyevans.blogspot.com
