3 years ago...

Dear Hadley,

Three years ago today, we were happier than we could ever imagine and loving our new baby girl! You came earlier than planned and the Dr.'s had prepared us that you were going to be little and not be able to come home right away. But you have to do the opposite of what people tell you since day 1 and you came out bigger than expected. You were 5 lb 14oz 19 inches long.
Daddy thought you would always have a cone head and a crooked nose, but mommy always thought you were so dang cute!

Had at 1 month

It has been so fun to watch you grow, learn, play, and talk. You bring us so much joy!

Had at 1 year

2 year

And today! Took her to Chuck E Cheese to play with a few friends. Then off to Cafe Rio and Nielson's! And to top if off, a little shopping!



She has the best daddy, he surprised us both by coming home early and bringing us our favorite cupcakes!!Had, mommy loves you! Hope you had a fun day cause I know I sure did!
