Well, Hadley is ten months old (or… nearly 11 months – at least I’m consistently late!). Capturing her picture on the quilt was literally an aerobic activity this month – every time I got her on it and picked up the camera, she’d roll over and crawl off. Then I’d have to put the camera down so I didn’t whack her in the head with it, drag her back and start over. I called in reinforcements which sort of helped – Dave pretty much laughed at us and then stood far enough to the side that she’s not looking at the camera at all. Oh well, at least she’s on the blanket.
This month Hadley has learned to clap and to wave hello/bye-bye. It’s pretty hilarious taking her to the grocery store because she pretty much spends the entire time waving to everybody. But not just any old wave – the screwing-in-a-lightbulb Her Royal Highness style wave! She’s a super-speedy crawler, and makes her rounds pulling up on everything she can get to and then doing a little bit of cruising. She’s still working on those two top teeth; they’re giving her all sorts of fits – poor baby!
I seem to have a bit of an obsession with taking pictures of Hadley while sleeping. I can’t seem to stop, even though I really think she’s going to have alien abduction dreams from the flash going off in her face! The bottom right was taken at our new local spray park, but it’s right on the bay and it was really windy so she’s all bundled up in towels.
Sweet sweet pics! She is growing so fast!
