9 months: little love letters

My sweet love, 

You poor neglected second child. I haven't blogged a single post or love letter to you. I've written down your weight, height, stats, etc. But I haven't blogged about them. But that's because YOU KEEP ME TOO BUSY!! You're so nosy and into everything!! 

This is at your 6 month check up.

Check up for you ears. You've been having a problem with ear infections. You even currently have an ear infection (7/20/15). Hopefully, we can get this resolved quickly.

You enjoy sitting in the front seat "driving."

Aunt Cindy took this picture and asked if this is your "old man face" like sister used to make. 

Arm propped up. Trying to be like Daddy. Always. 

Talking with Papa Wayne. 

Relaxing with Punkin.

Uncle Dan gave you your own Oreo. You loved it. And you're now OBSESSED with Uncle Dan. Anytime you see him you want to be right with him. 

First Popsicle. You loved it. It was very cold so it didn't last much longer than this picture.

This was the evening of your 9 month check up. Notice we are BACK in the doctor's office. You were perfection fine for your check up that morning. Then you woke up from nap unusually fussy. For the next couple hours, you moaned and groaned. Refused to eat. Didn't want to be held, but didn't want down either. You're NOT a fussy baby. Ever. We knew something was wrong. Then I touched your ear and you came unglued. I rushed you to the urgent care because it was after office hours. There you have it - a double ear infection (mostly the right ear). We've been battling this infection since then.

This was the first time you pulled up to something to stand. Next thing you know, you did it twice in one day! You were so proud of yourself. You kept laughing. 

Easter 2015

We had lots of activities this Easter. Hadley was able to do three egg hunts. Hadley had an Easter program at school. We made Resurrection Rolls. Attended "A Walk With Jesus" event at church. Easter morning at church. Lunch with family. And at some point I know Hadley also dyed eggs. 

Hadley's Easter program at school. She was so proud of her little dress. She had two Easter dresses this year because I bought her a dress she had picked out. Then her Aunt Vickie bought her this dress. We decided she would wear the dress Aunt Vickie got her to her school program. Then she could wear the dress she picked out for church, Easter morning. 

Resurrection Rolls!
These were so fun for Hadley. If you have never done Resurrection Rolls you need to google the recipe and make them next year. The concept is that you use a marshmallow. You prepare it with oil and spices like they prepared Jesus' body. Then you put it in the roll like the  cloths they covered him with. Then you put him in the tomb (oven) and when you pull them out the marshmallow is gone just like Jesus is Risen! I know this will now be a yearly tradition for us.

Hadley & Hayden Easter morning. 

All of us Easter morning in front of the tomb. We had a live program the night before called "A walk with Jesus" that goes through the story of the Jesus' death and resurrection.
