Hadster

Hadley is growing up so fast! I am behind on our 22 month pictures.. its on "the list"

 With my new phone I can show Hadley herself and still take her picture.  So when she sees herself she starts doing "tricks"...

THANKFULLY we haven't been to the doctor since May so I am not sure how much she weighs or how much she has grown.  She is talking ALL THE TIME! We have moved her crib into a toddler bed and so far ok! She doesn't get out of it, but she is scared of it.  Bedtime is a process but Jared has the magic "sleeper hold" touch so she goes down quicker with him than me. (WHEW!)  She LOVES her "school" and her teacher Ms. Ashley.  She has stopped calling herself Ashley but when you ask her name she yells "POWELL!" so Big calls her POWELL now.  Its funny.  She is a teacher in the making... Her babies are lined up 24/7 for circle time and she reads them a story.  Ms. Ashley says she does it at school and the Elmo babies rotate being in time out.  Her teacher assures me she is never in time out at school but dinner time is usually spent in time out.  She isn't big on eating these days, just "milt" aka milk.  Her favorite book is "biscuit" and she loves all her babies.  She will tell them to "sit DOOWN" and she'll lead circle time them she will lay them face down, cover them with a blanket (washcloth, coaster, paper town) and pat them saying night night.  Its creepy to walk through the house at night and see the babies with open eyes half covered like they drank the special kool-aid.

putting the babies into kitchen circle time.  Can you see the picture frame in front of the pantry door? It's "Sugar's" school picture framed.  Hadley didn't want Sugar to miss the story...
