A few more

October is almost over

Can it be??? It is crazy how fast time is flying by. My sweet Hadley is almost 3 months!! Crazy. I feel like we are finally getting the hang of things. We are getting used to Hadley and he is really responding well to us. We seriously could not ask for a better baby! I cannot get over how much I love him!!! I want to kiss him all day. Good thing he likes it:)

We went to the doctor today for his check up. He is growing wonderfully. He is in the 75th percentile. So, I suppose he is on the bigger side. He had to get his shots...that was not fun. Poor baby cried like I've never heard him cry before.

Here are some fall"ish" pictures of the little man.
Happy Halloween weekend!!

Apple Orchard

On Saturday we drove up to Longmont to an Apple Orchard. We learned how apple cider is made and are going to try it out with apples from our neighbors yard. We have a pear tree, I think we will try apple pear cider-we will see how it goes. Hadley went on his first hay rack ride. He slept through most of it:) We came home with apples and apple doughnuts. I've never had an apple doughnut but they are quite tasty. Let the yummy fall treats begin! I have pumpkin bars in the oven as we speak!

Hadley is 8 weeks old today. Hard to believe. I had to take a few things out of his dresser that no longer fit him:( I'm glad he is growing because that means he is healthy but, it's all going so fast! He is really getting good at holding his head up. He is sleeping like a champ. We are so blessed in that department. He is sleeping 8-9 hour stretches at night. We are still working on naps and a schedule. When I say this, I don't want to sound selfish because when it comes down to it we do what is best for Hadley. But,we are busy people and it's just not practical to say that he will nap 2 times a day in his crib. I would go crazy at home all day everyday. We like to get out and about. We go for lots of walks, to the store, visit friends,etc. He seems to adjust well, and it's not affecting his nighttime sleep, so I say we are doing just fine.

I can't believe I didn't write this sooner- HE IS SMILING AT US!! Oh my, does that ever melt my heart each time! He is seriously the best part of our lives right now. Amazing how much you can love your child. It has given me a whole new insight on how much God loves us. Simply unbelievable. And it is so neat to now know how much our parents love us.

We go to his 2 month checkup on Thursday. It will be fun to see how he has progressed. And then...shots! Yikes...not looking forward to that:(

Happy Fall!! It's finally feeling like fall here in Colorado!
Oh, Hadley also found his thumb!!!:)

Hadley's Room

I have finally gotten to it. Here are some pictures of Hadley's room. It turned out so cute, if I do say so myself!This was Loren's dads dresser growing up. I switched out the knobs to make it a little more unique.
The hamper was my inspiration for the branch and birdsUncle Nathan being silly

I am bad at this thes days

I have quickly become a bad blogger. Hadley is 6 weeks old. He is doing so great. Last night was his first night to sleep in his crib. I think I had a harder time with it than he did. It's sort of a milestone. I loved having our new little family sleeping in the same room. Dogs and all! :) A part of me was sad to move Hadley but it was time and he did just fine. He sleeps pretty well. Usually he wakes up around 2:30 or 3 to eat and then back to sleep until 6:30 or 7. It is a huge blessing because there are very few morning where I feel tired still. He is being good to his momma and daddy!

I always wondered what sort of mom I would be before this little guy came. I have surprised myself. I am pretty laid back. I just figure, there is no reason to stress about things. We even took Hadley out on the boat last week. He liked it. I want to be a great mom to Hadley but I also know that no one is perfect. I will make mistakes and probably already have but I will do my best to be the best mom I can be. I have a wonderful mom to look to for advice.

Here a re a few family photos

Apology

I have to apologize. I have been bad about posting. Our computer is now downstairs in a room with no windows and I truly hardly use it now. Oh and my schedule is a bit different now. Babies are a lot of work! I thought I would get bored. Ha! Boy was I wrong.

Hadley is doing well. We are learning together how all of this is suppose to work:) He seems like a pretty good baby. Happy most of the time unless he is hungry. He loves going on walks. We have been walking around the lake in the mornings. It is chilly at first but then warms up by the time we get home. It makes me so anxious for the cooler fall weather. He will be 1 month old tomorrow! Crazy how fast time has gone. And in a sense I still feel like I have no idea what I'm doing! I suppose everyone feels that way right?!

Here are a few pictures. He is simply adorable:) We are going to take some family pictures this weekend, so I will have more to post later.
