Happy Memorial Day

So, today we had a wonderful day. Mimi and Papa came for a visit and we had a cookout. It was great to see them and they had a wonderful time getting to see their grandaughter. Papa surprised us all showing up without his mustache. It was the first time Lindsay and I had ever seen our dad without one, but we like the change a ton! Hadley missed most of the day as she was a sleeping machine. Poor kid is still trying to get over this horrible cold she has had the last couple of weeks.

While we had a wonderful time being able to spend today off of work and hanging with our family, the real reason for today was definately in our minds. We think of those who can't be with their families due to serving our country and we are forever grateful. We cannot imagine being so far away from our families and especially now, even missing one day with our daughter would be hard. We think even more of those who have lost their lives or the ones they love due to their service to our country. Whether or not we agree with this war should be far from our minds today, we should be remembering those who serve and we do and thank each and every one of you.

Hanging out with mom and dad

Today we went to church, did some yard work and Hadley hung out with her mom and dad. Hadley's new favorite thing is to sit in between two boppy's. She can sit up all by herself then and she loves it. It is amazing how much she can do now. She is reaching for toys, holding them in her hands and bringing them to her mouth. She is getting so big!

Happy Birthday Auntie LuLu!

Last night we celebrated Auntie LuLu's 27th birthday with her at Grandma and Grandpa Jankowski's house. We had a nice dinner with her and then Auntie LuLu and Todd came over for a fire after Hadley went to bed. It was a great evening. Happy Birthday Auntie LuLu!!!

Go Badgers!!!

Hadley is getting ready for football season with her daddy! Today she is sporting the apparel of one of her favorite teams for the fall, the Badgers! Go Badgers!!! How cute is she sitting all by herself in the chair!

Hadley and Joseph

Last weekend we spent a lovely Sunday morning with our friends the Myers'. Hadley and Joseph had a fun time checking each other out and loved getting to play with each other's toys. We all had a great time and remarked that this is what weekends are all about now!

Summer is coming....

Hadley and mom had so much fun today enjoying the awesome weather. She went outside to our backyard for the first time to play. I let her feel grass for the first time and as you can see, she was very intruiged by it! She looked so darn cute in her new shades and although I thought she wouldn't enjoy them, she loved them! I think it was because she hates it normally when the sun is in her eyes because she has to close them, this time she was able to keep her eyes open and play still. Sorry it has been awhile since I last posted, I have since returned to work and my nights are now dedicated to Hadley when I get home and when she goes down for the night I am usually exhausted! Anyway, hope this bunch of pictures makes up for the time in between posts!

Three month pictures

Here is a sampling of Hadley's three month pictures that we had taken at Sears today. As you can see, she did awesome, they are wonderful, we were thrilled. We spent so much money, they gave them to us on a disk, hence why they are able to be posted. We just couldn't resist, her first professional pictures and again they are so cute, how could we! Anyway, enjoy!

New toy

Hadley has figured out that she can stand up when assisted now. Subsequently she wants to do it a lot. Mike and I decided it was time to try out the exersaucer. We just stick her in it with a blanket around her so she is "assisted" with her standing and she is in heaven, she LOVES it. She is just starting to reach for toys and realize that her hands are what is making the toy move, it is so cool to watch. It is amazing how fast she is growing up, only three months old and she has changed so much!

Cutest baby in the world.. (but we're a little biased)

Seriously, could she get any cuter? I just love how much she smiles and laughs now. These pics are from this morning when I was just talking to her and she was smiling and laughing away. Doesn't get any better than this!!!
