This day last year

Last Mother's Day, I weighed about a million pounds, couldn't see my feet and had major kankles. Matt got up early to make cinnamon rolls for breakfast and I had eaten them all by the time he sat down to join me. I was practically a mother on the account of carrying around extra LBs, had a basketball under my shirt and was exactly one day from delivering an unnamed baby girl. It's amazing the difference a year can make. I, now, have a walking, noise making, busy, happy, healthy, Hadley who will be 1 on Tuesday! The joys of watching her grow this past year have truly taught me lessons I never thought I'd learn. Happy Mother's day to all you other moms!

A special happy goes to my mom for getting one of the most distracting toys for Hadley to play with. My parents bought her a plastic car last weekend and she hasn't stopped driving, riding, or pushing buttons since.


Yes. Hadley is talking on her cell phone.

Play date with Madeline

These are the only pictures I have because most of the day I was playing referee. Notice Madeline's tears in the first two pictures. Hadley is a brute. Kate, I promise those were consecutive pictures. Madeline didn't cry all day. Just when Hadley hogged the toys or stole her paci. Sharing is an acquired trait, right?
