Leaning Tall

I broke out the cart cover for Miss Hadley at the grocery store this week!  It's so much easier to put things in the basket without her carseat occupying the entire thing.  :)  We've also used it on restaurant high chairs with much success.  Yea for not carrying the carseat around so much!

Her favorite pastime as of late is to be propped up on things while she stands.  She cannot pull herself up yet, but she really wants to!  I think she gets frustrated (that she can't pull up) and whines until she gets some assistance, and then she's happy as can be.  At least until she forgets to keep holding on to the prop...

These socks were making me smile.  :)

This prop had a bonus of cats on top of it.  I swear the cats make her the happiest of anything in the world!  Huge grin and lots of chatter when a cat walks by.  I guess we are raising a future cat lady.  :)

Anyway, I digress.  But you get the idea.  This is how we spend a lot of time these days.  But how can you say no to that smile?

We got to reuse Owen's bunny hat.  Hadley was a bit older than he was at Easter, so the hat was a smidge too small.  Funny how they are making similar expressions while wearing it!

And I almost forgot!  She does this hilarious, fake laugh that sounds a bit like hyper-ventilating.  I think she does it when something is funny to her, but she can also be prompted to repeat it on command.  It reminds me of something from Revenge of the Nerds, and I can't help but laugh or imitate her right back!

As for big brother, Owen decided that Bo needed some time in the jumperoo and he was bouncing it gently.  

I asked myself if I should really post this one, but I couldn't help it!  Too funny.  He was "cooling off" after his bath one night by running around the living room naked.  He stopped to talk to Daddy, and I just had to capture this view.  :)

 And lastly, more sibling pictures!  So far they really seem to like each other.  :)
