Hadley Update

Hadley's checkup went very well; she was so brave during her shots and only cried for a minute. Now she has her cool sparkly band-aids to show off...they need to make fun band-aids for adults! Hadley weighs 16 lbs and is 26 3/4 inches long and we get to add "lunch" to our solid food meals! I am also going to start the weaning process, although I am a little sad about it. Since it's a "process" I know I have a little more time...but at some point I have to travel for work again so we need to get the ball rolling. It's been a wonderful experience!!

Staying Busy

Hope everyone had a nice Mother's Day weekend! We made a trip to Augusta to see Marsh's family and Hadley was an awesome traveler. Although things will be even easier once she gets the hang of (or rather accepts!) a sippy cup. I haven't talked about the bottle lately...that's because we gave up on it a long time ago! This week Hadley goes to the Dr for her 6 month check-up and I am very excited to find out how much she has grown. I feel like she has really changed over the last few weeks. Sitting up is next on her list I think...she is getting very close. This is all happening way too fast!!!

TEETH!

I swear they popped up during Hadley's morning nap because when she woke up and smiled at me I freaked out. What's in your mouth child? Oh my goodness!!! How long until I get bit?! :)

Guitar hero I am not!

But it's fun trying...here I am trying desperately to get through an "easy" song without getting booed off by the Wii people. Watch out Slash...well, watch out if I ever get past Welcome to the Jungle in one take. We don't get much time to play the Wii but it is entertaining. And good exercise! I am sure Hadley will have it mastered by age 2. Amazing how kids pick up this stuff. I miss Atari! LOL.

Where have I been?

Make yours @ BigHugeLabs.com

What a neat website - thanks Jules! I can't fill in a world map too well, as I've only ventured outside the US a few times to Canada, the Bahamas and Costa Rica. I will check off Arizona this fall, and Oklahoma next year due to football games...and we WILL get to Hawaii one of these years!

Hadley's First Run

The new jogging stroller is assembled and we went for our first family run Sunday morning. As you can see Hadley was exhausted after that hard work! She wasn't the only one; I had high hopes for a nice long run but pushing that stroller was not as easy as I expected!! And I only pushed half the time as Marsh pushed it too. So it will take some getting used too but it also provides a new running challenge for me:) I just hope Hadley will enjoy her new wheels for many runs to come.

Misson accomplished

The ING Half Marathon was a success! Marsh and I ran together and finished with a respectible time of 1:50:04. Kudos to my hubby for running a great race after being so sick with the flu and basically not training at all from mid March on. An even bigger CONGRATULATIONS to Julie and Jennifer for completing the full marathon! Watching marathoners cross the finish line is such an amazing feeling - what they have done is remarkable. It was a fun weekend and I am so happy I could spend time with one of my dearest friends. Thank you for visiting us Jules!!

So April is here...where is the year going? I turned 30 again yesterday without much fanfare ;) It was a busy day of work and since we were on the go all weekend it was easiest to stay in, cook dinner and watch a little American Idol. We have some things going on this month but hopefully I'll have a little downtime to READ. My books are piling up.

Well, time to get to work. Hope everyone is doing well and is enjoying Springtime!!
