Nine Months of Hoodle Doodle

Hadley is nine months - and she is a total joy. After visiting the doctor for her well baby check-up and she's doing fabulously. At 18.6 lbs, 26.5 inches long, she's in the 50th percentile for weight and in the 35th percentile for height. She is full of personality: usually very happy, babbling like a fool, ALMOST walking, and pushing the limits of where she's allowed to crawl and what she's allowed to eat. She and I (Loki) are doing much better playing together. Hadley is starting to learn how to play fetch with me, which is SO MUCH FUN, but she also giggles really loud and high when I walk in the room. Which is annoying.

Every now and then, Hadley has a moment of serious reflection. I assume she was looking at Mom, contemplating how best to steal, and eat, her cell phone. See Exhibit A.

And then, of course, the face of mischief and smug enthusiasm when she does finally get her hands on a cell phone. JOY!

Hadley likes: Following Loki around the house, trying new foods, ice cream, making growling sounds, singling "AHHHHH" really loudly with Mom, riding on Dad's shoulders, and trying to walk

Hadley doesn't like: her Eczema  (which is finally almost healed!), getting her diaper changed (like, AT ALL...what is that about, Kid??!), being left alone in Baby Jail (her crib), and swimming lessons
