"Why is it that I always have ketchup on my face?"

"That is cold water!!!"

Hadley has been our only thumb sucker so far.

How can you not just love that smile!!!

KaileeJo and Taydom had a blast at the Burdick's playing in the water. Unfortunately I do not have any pics of Hadley in her swimsuit since she was doing what she normally does all day, eat and sleep. Mostly just eating. That would explain the huge cheeks :)

Hadley and friends

Hadley is now 3 months old. Where has the time gone? She is getting so big and has the sweetest smile ever. She already loves her big sisters even though Taydom some times tries to kill her by feeding smarties and Doritos or by laying on top of her. Hadley still smiles every time she sees Taydom coming.KaileeJo is a great big sister to Hadley and often asks to hold her and is very good at keeping her happy. Hadley loves to coo and babble and has even tried to sing with Taydom. Hadley was weighed and measured on May 26th for her two month check up and weighed in at a whopping 15 lbs 3 oz. Which put her in the 99 percentile for weight. She measured 23 3/4 inches long which put her in the 95 percentile for height. Since then I don't think that she has slowed down much in either category. It doesn't look like she is going to be the runt of the family. Hadley loves to sleep on her side and will off and on sleep through the night. It depends on what kind of growth spurt she is going through. The kind where she wants to sleep all the time or the kind where she wants to eat all the time. We sure do love our little Hadley.

KaileeJo had so much fun at her first soccer game. It took her a while to figure out what to do but at least she looked cute doing it. In the first video it was half time so she was practicing. It is hard to hear because of the wind but she said "I kicked it". The second video is pretty much how the whole game went. A few good players kicking the ball with everyone else running behind. Hopefully next week it won't be so cold and windy.

Christina and Spencer's Visit

Christina and Spencer were able to come and visit us the week before Hadley was born. As you can tell they warmed up to Spencer rather nicely and loved to play with him. It helped that he got down on the floor and played with them.

They also had a blast with the finger nail polish that Aunt Lizzy sent for Tatter's birthday. It is from Del Sol. It changes colors in the sun's UV rays. They thought it was so much fun that Aunt Christina would do that for them and act like little princesses.

The previous post was also from their visit. They loved to perform for the both of them.

Potty Training

KaileeJo has been fighting the whole potty training thing. We have tried many tactics, but this one seems to work the best. She loves to sing as she goes. I may be able to quit grad school before I even start with all the money Steph will be making off of her song writing. My favorite part is that she actually bows at the end. I had never seen her do that before.

Hadley Christina Finlayson

She is here. We are soo happy to have our little girl. She is soo sweet even if she took her sweet time getting here. I was scheduled to be induced Thursday morning. We came in and they started me and things looked good. After contracting for 6 hours I was making little progress.It was a good thing it was the first day of the NCAA tournament so we had something to do. We decided it would be good to break my water so I got my epidural and we went for it. From there things progressed rapidly and after a pushing a few times she was here. She has the most beautiful red blond hair. She was born at 6:21 pm and was 9 lbs 11 oz and 22" long. She barely fits in newborn clothes. Her sisters were so excited to meet their sister. They love to hold her and give her kisses. We are so glad that Hadley is apart of our family.

Taydom is TWO!!

For Taydom's birthday party we thought we would keep it pretty simple. First we did water paints. It was a lot of fun for the kids. They really like dipping their brushes in the water.

For the other activities Adam made a fort in the living room for the kids and we got out the dress-up stuff and turned on some music and let the kids dance.

This is all the friends a that came to the party minus Carter. They all play really well together and there were very few tears.

Cake!! We kept it simple with cupcakes with yellow frosting and sprinkles.

Here is a video of the dance party. It was fun and Taydom keeps asking if she can have another birthday.
