Hadlee's 1st birthday!

We decided to have Hadlee's birthday party in combination with Suzy's Memorial Day cookout since Jeremy works in the evenings and would never be home on June 1st.  So Suzy decorated with the decorations I had stored in the basement and made her cake while we drove home from St. Joe.

 Hadlee had her first ear of corn for her birthday!

A few days later Hadlee went to the doctor for her 1 yr checkup.  She's slowed down a bunch in her growth now that she's moving.  She was 20+ pounds and in the 40th %ile for both weight and height.  She got a few shots and is perfectly healthy!  She's much more active and brave than her sister was.  She'll climb everything, slides, fireplace hearths, steps, and have no fear.  She's cruising all over, standing up and starting to let go of things but has yet to take her first steps.  She almost did it today though!  Her first word, just like Maddox, was "uh-oh" when she drops something.  She also will repeat "stay" when I tell Jessi to stay.  She also has dark brown hair like her parents (Maddox was blond and is now turning light brown with blond streaks) which I love!  Just in the time that we've been in Iowa it has come in a lot thicker.  Iowa can apparently grow corn AND hair!
