The Sweetest Video & Hadley's Newest Trick!

I present to you the sweetest video in the entire world, at least in my opinion it is! ;)

I love so many things about this video--the sound of the girls giggling together, watching Shelby rub her head on her little sister b/c she knows that will always make Hadley smile, Shelby accidently bumping Hadley too hard and hearing her console her by saying "Shh, shh, shh, it's just me sitting beside you Hadley!", watching Hadley learn how to pull up after trying for so long, and watching Shelby lovingly put her hand on Hadley's back to help keep her from falling b/c she's seen Mommy do that so many times. This video just captures the sweet, fleeting everyday moments that make up our life right now with a 1 & 3 year old. Sure, there are LOTS of other moments where they're both whining, someone is hungry, a diaper needs changing, the laundry needs folding, and my patience has completely run out....but these sweet moments make it all worth the while! So thankful we have videos like this to look back on one day!

And I'll leave you with a few other pictures of Hadley pulling up! She's been able to pull herself up to her knees for a while now, but just in the last week and a half or so she learned how to pull all the way up to standing. We're SO proud of her! It's opened up a whole new world of exploration for her! Hadley is constantly wanting to climb & stand now! It's fun to watch her learn!

Hadley climbing at Excel by Five last week. I got SO emotional watching Hadley do this at Excel by Five b/c this is exactly what Shelby would do at this age. It made me so sad to think we'll be saying goodbye to Excel by Five and so many other special places in just a few short weeks.

Shelby was having the best time encouraging Hadley to climb the stairs!

Hadley was trying SO hard!

I love the expression on Hadley's face in this one where she is Skyping with Grammy & Grampy!
