Hadley's first Thanksgiving

Although she wasn't able to eat any turkey, Hadley had a great time on Thanksgiving. We went over to Lacie's house and Hadley loved hanging out with Lacie and Chris and she absolutely loved their dog Max! She was so interested in him, it was adorable! Lacie got a very cute picture of it that I will post once she emails to me.

It was a great day spent with great friends! I am so thankful for my beautiful baby girl, my amazing husband, my wonderful family and my fabulous friends! We have truly been blessed this year and I hope that the blessings keep coming in 2010!

Hadley and I will be leaving for Indiana on Wednesday, I am super excited to see my sister! It's kind of bittersweet though because I am sad to leave Wes and sad that he won't get to see his baby girl for 2 months. I try to stay positive and I tell Hadley that Daddy goes aways because he loves her, he goes away because it's his job and without his job we wouldn't have a roof over our heads, clothes on our backs and food in our bellies :)

I have to take Hadley to get the second dose of her flu vaccine on Monday before we go. She got her H1N1 on Tuesday and she will need to get the second dose of that while we are in Indiana. She got a little sick after the H1N1, but it didn't last long.

I hope that everybody had a great Thanksgiving! God bless!!

October - November 2009

Hadley had her 6 month well baby check in October, she weighed 14 lbs. 11.9 oz. and was 26 1/2 inches long. She also got her immunizations and a flu shot that day and then had to have some blood taken for a blood and iron count.

We had her 6 month pictures taken on October 19th and although she was having a bit of a meltdown we managed to get one good pose.

She and I will be going to Indiana on December 2nd to stay with my sister Amy while Wes goes on another deployment. We will come home in February, Wes will be home around the same time as us.

Hadley has also had a developmental screening because she was a preemie. Her social skills are at a 9 month level, her self help skills are at a 9 month level, hre growth is at a 6 month level, her motor skills are at a 7 month level and her language is at a 9 month level so she is doing great! They will screen her again in 3 months (March).

Wes has been on the boat a lot lately which is normal when the boat is getting ready to leave. Hadley and I don't get to see him a lot, so the little time we do have with him we take advantage of. Hadley loves her daddy, she takes naps with him and cuddles with him and LOVES to play with him. We are planning to get a recordable story book for Wes to record and I can play for Hadley while he is gone so she doesn't forget the sound of his voice.

I have been doing good for the most part, I'm still have a lot of back problems, but since I'm out of work it's not a big issue. I can relax at home and keep the activities to a minimum.

I hope that everyone is doing well and Happy Holidays!!
