Happy birthday to our beautiful baby girl Hadley Emilia

I have been dreading this day but also excited for it at the same time. Can we even call her our baby anymore? Of course! I will always call her my baby. We had her one year photos taken last weekend and they came out AMAZING! I am only going to share with you birthday themed photos because the family photos will be part of our Christmas cards (so we can't spoil the fun!).

Let's take a quick trip back through memory lane.



Hadley Emilia only a couple minutes old


 This is baby girl Hadley about 10 days old.


She brings so much joy to our lives and is as happy as can be. Here are the birthday themed photos from our photoshoot.



Don't you just love her little booty

Love this shot of her smash cake and her teethies
dig in baby!


This is a split screen of Hadley 10 days old and 1 year old in the SAME tutu that her GiGi made her. I can't believe how fast this year has gone. They say flies by and it's crazy how true it is.



We celebrated this past weekend by going to a hands on children's museum in Tuscaloosa, Al (only an hour from us). She had so much fun. I will do a post about that. She even told me she wanted to stop by Super Target and get some super cute birthday clothes (so we did :) ). Her birthday happens to be Veteran's day and we're lucky her daddy gets to have off to celebrate the whole day with her!

 I will update and do a blog post about her 12 months dr. appointment with stats after her appointment later this week. I am also not posting the family session photos until after our Christmas card is sent out (don't want to spoil the surprise!) Enjoy your day everyone, we will!

happy veteran's day

I wanted to give this a shout out of its own. Happy Veteran's day to everyone I know (including pretty much all of James' family, my dad, and our grandfathers and to those I don't know who are serving or have served in the past or present. I have several fellow wives whose husband's are deployed right now and I think about them all the time. I'm lucky my veteran is home with us this weekend.
