New Moves!

It's official - Little Miss Hadley can now roll over on her own! She did it for the first time on Sunday night, and has since repeated the efforts several times! She's been teetering on her side for several weeks now, but didn't quite have the courage to "get on over." As you can probably tell...we are quite proud! 4 months and 1 week old and rolling over...she's our little go get 'er!

Austin grabbed these photos because I was driving home from Indy...boo! He actually didn't see her do it either because he was watching TV and trying to eat his dinner. Don't worry though...she's since showed us her new moves!

Hadley meets Santa Claus!

Austin took today off of work and we spent it as a family in Greenwood.  Our main agenda was meeting Santa Claus.  So, we took Hadley to the Greenwood Park Mall and met him for the first time!  Hadley was cooing at Santa as we were waiting for them to get the camera ready.  Santa replied back, "Oh yeah, is that what you want for Christmas?"  Too cute!  I wish I would have had the video set on my camera to capture the moment.

 

These aren't the best pictures of Hadley with Santa.  I was trying to take them quickly.  We bought one that captured a decent picture of her though...can you believe that it cost $17.11 for one 5 x 7 picture?  What happened to the days of the $3.00 polaroid?  Austin was hoping for the classic screaming baby - scared of Santa picture, but Hadley didn't seem to mind.  Santa told us we will probably achieve that one next year!

 

I didn't realize how much I miss just having one solid day to spend with my husband and daughter.  I love them so much and it was such a great family day! 

Happy 4 Month Birthday Hadley!

Today was Hadley's 4 month birthday!  Times sure does go by fast!

Argiris Annual Christmas Party!

One of the best celebrations of the holiday season is the annual Christmas party with all of our friends at Pete and Holly's house.  This was Hadley's first year to celebrate with everyone, and from what I hear, she had a great time.  I was stuck at work while all of the festivities took place, so Austin and Hadley had to go it alone.

Austin took lots of pictures for me and everyone looked like they were having a great time...plus the food looked awesome!  Holly made sure that I got a plate full of turkey, greenbean casserole and stuffing when I got there, along with a piece of pumpkin pie...YUM!

Kerry and Kelsey enjoying the food...

Geni and Tracey hanging out at the bar.  It won't be long until Tracey adds another little one to the mix of kids (she's due in February!)...

A shot of Miss Hadley from above enjoying her bottle, of course!

Hadley got to hang out with lots of friends at the party...

Hadley with Kristen...

Austin said that Hadley was good for the most part when people were holding her, but got a little fussy after too long...she's definitely a daddy's girl! 

  Hadley with Amy...see what I mean!

Uncle Zeb enjoyed spending time with his niece!  Austin doesn't have a steady hand, so the picture is a little blurry.

Brandy, Mackenzie and Hadley hanging out.  Mackenzie told her parents that she wants a little sister...I think she was quite fond of Hadley!

Little Miss Hadley herself!

Hadley chillin' with Daddy.

Here's Mackenzie hanging out with Hadley...like I said, I think she was quite fond!

The kids had their own gift exchange,and it looks like they had a lot of fun.  Next year Hadley will be big enough to partake!

  Everyone just hanging out and enjoying time together...

It must be rough hanging out with friends, eating good food and getting a white elephant gift!  Moser, wake up!! 

I hope to make it next year!  It's always a great time, and something I look forward to around the holidays!  Thanks to Pete and Holly (plus Gabe) for always throwing such a great Christmas party! 

Deck the house!

This will be Hadley's first Christmas and we are so excited!  Austin, Hadley and I decorated the house tonight...well, more like the tree.  We need to do some after Christmas shopping for sales on decorations as we are a little lacking! 

Austin put some Christmas music on the TV and we enjoyed family time! 

I put the tree together while Hadley took a time out w/ daddy to eat!  

Austin and I have bought a Christmas ornament every year that we have been married.  We were excited to add Hadley's first Christmas ornament to the tree.  It was a gift from my co-workers, Susan and Sylvia, to welcome me back to work.  Thanks, girls!  We love it!

Hadley helped me hang it, and it looks great on the tree... 

Hopefully you will get to see our tree all lit up and decorated for our Christmas post. 

Merry Christmas to everyone! 

Why the thumb?

Sweet little Hadley has taken up the art of thumb sucking, and I don't really know what to think about that yet?  She now prefers her thumb over her pacifier - not that she was ever too fond of her pacifier.  In fact, she likes to have her bottle in her mouth with her thumb right beside it.  Hmm.  What are we going to do about this? 

Look what I found!

Hadley found her toes today!  Since finding them she has gone from holding them to sucking on them.  Ahh the excitement of new found wonders!
