September

Hadley at 3 months:
*Can now roll both ways. This means she can't be swaddled with her arms in. Getting her to take long naps is tricky. She wants to be rocked to sleep every time she wakes up.
*She can sit up in her Bumbo chair but usually gets tired after 10 minutes.
*She smiles and laughs. She loves watching Parker and will laughs when he is being silly for her.
*She is grasping toys and playing with dangling toys.
*Hadley loves her pacifier and sucking on her fingers. Sometimes both are in her mouth at once!
*She is skinny and long. Most of her clothes are too big around the waist but too short.

Parker at 22 months:
*He loves to help with Hadley. He gets her blankets, diapers and puts her pacifier in her mouth. He is very gentle and sweet with her.
*He is saying longer sentences like "Baby Hadley wake up" or "Momma come play orange ball".
*Parker loves going on walks in the stroller and looking for "Choo Choos".
*Parker has shown interest in learning letters. We play with letter magnets and he knows P, H and J. He says "P for Parker, H for Hadley, J for Justin".
*He can say a few numbers but can't count past two. When he sees anything more than 1, he says "two". A few times he has tried to count something and says "one, two, one, two, good counting!"


Fun Activities this Month:
*We took the kids to the fair. Parker loved seeing the animals, but he especially loved the rides. He was only tall enough for two, but we were able to sneak him on another couple. Parker's Gramma brought him back another day. So fun!

*Justin was best man in his friend Graham's wedding.  It was a beautiful wedding. Hadley joined us and was a serious party animal!

*At Graham's bachelor party, Justin got a hole in one! It was at the Home Course. It's not a day he will soon forget!
