Hadley Bits

Time for a round-up of what Miss Hadley is up to these days.

1. She is really interested in writing on a notepad with a pen. She holds the pen very well and scribbles away on the paper. She even held the notepad and scribbled with the pen while I was driving and while sitting in the Target shopping cart. I was impressed.

2. She says new words all the time. Just today I heard her say diaper, pencil and turtle. Other recent ones are Mo (Elmo), Neenee (Ernie), Nora (Dora), Manny (Manny of Handy Manny), Busssssss (Buzz) and Woooeeeeee (Woody) - Hmmmm, this is a rather TV-character-heavy list.....)

3. Books are her new love. She brings us book after book and says "Eeeee meee" (read to me). Her favorite books right now are this and this.

4. Dressing herself is a new interest. She tries to put her socks and shoes on.

5. She makes this kind of urgent whiny sound while waving her hands around while in her highchair. This is a signal that I am to wipe her hands, ASAP.

6. She answers "YEAH!" to questions all of a sudden and in the appropriate context, too. Long, involved questions that I had no idea she understood. It took me quite by surprise.

7. Brooke was under the weather and basically out of commission Sunday. Hadley WAS ON A ROLL. She was the queen bee and ran the show all day. She amused herself by taking Brooke's (sick day only!) binky and blanket multiple times and cackling away when Brooke pitifully whined for them back.

She is a delight!




Miss Brooke is pretty delightful too....
