9 months

we took hadlie to her 9 month appointment on friday and she is doing great!

her stats-

weight: 18.11 lbs {48 percentile}
height: 27.5" {49 percentile}



she can offically have table foods, so we went and had lunch.

hadlie had some of my spaghetti...i think saying she loved it would be an understatement.











YUM!

getting the hang of it!

im pretty sure i will have a walker by christmas! 


it's amazing how fast she learns and picks up on things! she is growing up so fast...not quite sure how i feel about this (except maybe the idea of her sleeping through the night...that would be glorious)!

bad santa or bad momma....you decide

our neighborhood had their annaul winter festival, so we decided to check it out. they had a petting zoo, train rides, carriage rides, balloon animals, gingerbread house making AND santa!! hadlie LOVES santa...ok maybe night, but we tried again!

checking out the petting zoo...as you can tell there was a 'herd' of people and little kids chasing a poor tiny piglet!





next up...SANTA! although, he wasnt the real one, he smelled of beef and cheese! just kidding!

hadlie just LOVES santa...as you can tell! i will not torture her again, until next year!



next up, the train ride. 


me and my little lady!
