Hadley is TWO!

I have absolutely no idea how it happened, but we've got a two year old on our hands now! On Thursday, Miss Hadley Mae turned TWO!

Hadley is wearing the outfit that Shelby has on in this picture today...seriously, where has the time gone!?

Hadley's 2nd Birthday!

My friend Angela reminded me this week about how when Hadley was little I used to say all the time how it felt like we would have always have a toddler and a baby. It was hard even imagine what life would like with two kids, it just seemed like we would always have a baby. And even as Hadley & Will got older and were at ages where we referred to Adam & Shelby as "big kids," Will & Hadley still seemed like babies. But there's something about Hadley hitting the two year mark (and twins on the way for the Goins family!) that is really making me realize that they're not babies anymore. When did that happen?!?!

Will & Hadley at her birthday party this weekend

And the big kids at the party, it still feels like they're at the age Will & Hadley are now!
Crazy how quickly the time has passed!

This was right after Shelby said "Come on Adam, let's sneak a cupcake!" ;)

Hadley's birthday week had made me crazy nostalgic for her baby days, but also has me super excited about having two big girls in the house! It's fun to see the girls playing together more & more with each day that passes and really becoming the best of friends. I've also suddenly figured out why my parents had to say to me and my sister over and over again in the car: "You look out your window, and you look out your window! Just leave each other alone!" Because even when one of you is driving the other one crazy, you still want to be together! ;) 

Hadley Mae, even though we still call you our baby, you really are becoming such a big girl! You are so sweet and quick to love on us, you are sassy as the day is long, you love to talk, you love to do everything yourself and yell "No, I do it!" yet you still ask to be held all day long, and you have a personality all your own. We love you so much and can't imagine our family without you in it! Happy Second Birthday, sweet girl!
