Nine months old!!

Wow! How time flies by so quickly! Jared and I were just talking about how when we were kids it seemed as though Christmas would never get here. It's funny because as adults it seems as though we were just taking down the Christmas tree and now it is time to shop for another one.
Hadley turned 9 months old yesterday. I still can't believe it. We are so blessed to have such a sweet, happy, and healthy baby girl. Her favorite things to play with are empty propel bottles, newspaper and magazines( or any paper things), anything electronic such as cell phones, cameras, remote controls, etc. She smiles right away when the light on the camera comes on because she knows you are taking her picture... you think that has anything to do with the fact that I am constantly taking pictures of her;) She loves books! We read to her a lot. She can sit up and stand up in her bed when she wakes up- don't worry her daddy has lowered the bed to its lowest level. She is crawling around everywhere. We are trying to post a video and hopefully we will be able to get that done soon. She also really likes Rusty, our golden retriever. He lets her pet him or should I say pull his hair. We fed her the baby food meat for the first time the other night. I will post a picture that will show you exactly what she thought about that. I can't say I blame her.. it smelled horrible. She is down to two naps a day and 4 feedings a day. She eats and sleeps well. She has been sleeping through the night for quite some time now. We put her in bed at 8:00 p.m. and she sleeps till around 6:30 or so every day. We are so blessed to have such awesome family to help us and to make her feel loved. We can't wait to share the upcoming holidays with you guys.
