Happy 1st Birthday Hadley!!!

Happy 1st Birthday Hadley!!!

wow... i can't believe my baby is 1 today!!! it just amazes me how fast the last year went by. i guess with 3 busy kids, time tends to go by a little faster!

you and your brothers have all been easy babies, but there was something different this time. this past year has been pure fun and joy. carter's first year was all about learning how to be a parent. mason was sick his whole first year. we saw lots of specialist at children's hospital, and every time he got sick, it went right to his lungs and we got sent to the hospital. it was very stressful. he also had a gross motor delay and was involved with early intervention. at times it was hard to enjoy his first year because of all the medical issues we were dealing with.

your first year has been so wonderful! you are an amazing sleeper, at night and for naps. you just go with the flow, which is an essential when you have two big brothers with busy schedules. you are a pretty good eater, and you are moving and grooving around. you love when you get to spend time with yaya and miss stephanie. you are such a good girl!!!!

Dear Hadley,
Happy 1st Birthday! I am so in love with you! You have added nothing but joy, love and laughter to our family. Your brothers love you so much, and so do Daddy and I.

You are so beautiful inside and out. I just look at you some days and can't believe you are ours. You are funny and sweet, and so much fun.

You are starting to take your first steps, and say your first words. Your brothers are so proud of you, and they love to give you high 5's and clap for you.

Last week when I hurt my back I was laying on the couch in the play room while you played. You came over to me and gave me a hug and kiss. It was just perfect!!!! You are so loving!

I can't wait to see how you grow! Who knows, maybe we can skip the awful 3's that your brothers have gone through? :)

Tonight I am going to make you lasagna for your special birthday dinner. It is your favorite dinner!

I love you Hadley. I hope you will always know how loved you are! I am so happy to be your mom!

Happy Birthday!!
Love & Kisses,
Mommy
