Hadley Marie – Five Months

I love the little kissy lips!  I think she’s working on a tooth or something because she’s started making this face a lot.

Hadley’s still a super easy baby!  I keep realizing how lucky we are that she’s sleeping so well – frankly anything is better than Arden, but Dave and I both still laugh when we put her into bed and she just goes right to sleep.  She had a few nights with some wakeups, but that seems to have been a growth spurt and she’s back to normal now.  She’s mostly been sleeping overnight in her crib, but since I like having her next to me in her cosleeper I’ve been pulling her in there after her dream feed a few nights lately.

We pulled the Jumparoo out of storage and she immediately went to town jumping and playing with the toys.  When we introduced Arden at about the same age we needed to put a pillow underneath and a couple of burp cloths around her to help her fit.  No props needed for miss Hadley – she reaches the floor no problem and isn’t lost in the seat either.

Hanging out in her Bumbo seat.  We think it looks like she’s holding a meeting or something.  She’s sporting one of her head bands – I like them okay, but I don’t put them on her very often.  Dave thinks head bands on babies are ridiculous but he puts up with them.  Love those cheekers!

Arden is still a super good big sister.  She calls her “baby Hadee”.  When she kisses Hadley she says “I got some baby sugar!”.

Awww… sisters!  Arden likes to hold Hadley, but only for a couple of minutes – then you better be ready because when she’s done she pushes her off her pretty quickly.

Here’s the five month collage – I can see she’s filling out the little orange sweater and blue jeans a little better this month – in fact those jeans might not make it for 6 months!
