Hadley is One and a Half!

I just had to post on Hadley's 18-month mark!  We're halfway to 2; hard to believe!  I haven't even started on photos from our trip to Texas, so here's a quick pic of H on her new, comfy chair.

Some new things that she picked up in the last month:

• "Muh-ning" - as in good morning when you come to get her out of her crib
• "Tay-Q" - thank you, used appropriately when you give her food
• "No!" and "My" - two words I could have waited longer to hear (no, mine)
• "Naan" - clementine oranges
• "Nigh-nigh" - night night
• "Ho ho" - recognizes Santa
• "Pssh" - pouring sound when she has a play bottle, vacuum, or faucet nearby
• Pointing to her diaper after she poops
• Raising her hands when Owen asks, "Who likes ___?"
• Opening lever-style door handles!  Yikes!  Nothing is safe anymore.
• Building 6-block-high towers.
• Up to 16 teeth now, since her 4 canines finally broke through!
• Her sense of humor is starting to show when she chuckles at books or people.
• Her current favorite book is "Fa La La" (about Christmas), and she knows and comments on several pages (like singing when they sing, sound effects, etc.)

This is a fun age besides travel and discipline.  :)  More to come soon!
