Hadley is 49 weeks old. It's hard to believe she''ll be ONE in less than a month! I'm terribly behind on updating (it's been about a month) so I'm sure a lot has been happening these last few weeks.
BUSY and DETERMINED. These are the words that come out of our mouths daily as we describe our little girl (this sounds nothing like her mother of course). She is into EVERYTHING and you can't turn your back for a few minutes or she'll be climbing the stairs, pulling something off a counter, or putting a "choky" in her mouth.
She still loves Tucker's toys the best - especially the ones he's holding. He is pretty annoyed with her these days for this reason but we're trying to teach him to go where she can't reach :)
She's still not walking but she'll stand for a bit without holding on and it seems like she doesn't feel the need since she can scoot along the furniture so easily and crawl so efficiently.
A few weeks ago we had her first sickness. She seemed pretty fussy for a few days and we started to hear the "barking cough" so I headed to the dr. Turns out she had a double ear infection and the early signs of croup. She went on an antibiotic and a steroid for the croup. The croup never got too bad and cleared up after 24 hours, thankfully. But, about 3 days after she was finished with the 10 day antibiotic, she broke out into a rash ALL over her body. After a little bit of time, we started to wonder if it was an allergic reaction to the amoxicillin. After watching for about 24 hours, we took her to the doctor because it had gotten worse (see icky picture below). They did diagnose it as a reaction to the medicine and told us to let it run its' course. Thankfully, it didn't seem to bother her at all. It's actually still faintly there so it's still working it's way out of her body slowly. We won't be doing anymore medicines in the "cilin" family so hopefully no sickness anytime soon!
She's still taking 2 2-hourish naps and sleeps like a champ at night. Things are in a good rhythm and this age makes things begin to feel much more manageable. BUSY, but manageable.
She's started dancing to music, "talking" much louder, and turning anything into a drum. She likes to make noise :)
She got to hang out with her first cousin, Scarlett over Thanksgiving. These two are going to be sweet friends as they get older!
This "first" Christmas season with her has been sweet. The lights provide entertainment for her, she has left the Christmas tree alone much more than I though she would and she enjoys our Little People Nativity scene.
Picking out her first Christmas tree!
Life with our little girl is nonstop and "on our toes" but we wouldn't trade it!
