Hello Hadley: My Whole Heart

I wanted you more

than you ever will know

so I sent love to follow

wherever you go.

It's high as you wish it. It's quick as an elf.

You'll never outgrow it...it stretches itself!

So climb any mountain...

climb up to the sky!

My love will find you.

My love can fly!

Make a big splash! Go out on a limb!

My love will find you. My love can swim!

It never gets lost, never fades, never ends...

if you're working...

or playing...

or sitting with friends.

You can dance 'til you're dizzy...

paint 'til you're blue...

There's no place, not one,

that my love can't find you.

And if someday you're lonely,

or someday you're sad,

or you strike out at baseball,

or think you've been bad...

just lift up your face, feel the wind in your hair.

That's me, my sweet baby, my love is right there.

In the green of the grass...in the smell of the sea...

in the clouds floating by...at the top of a tree...

in the sound crickets make at the end of the day...

"You are loved. You are loved. You are loved," they all say.

My love is so high, and so wide and

so deep, it's always right there, even

when you're asleep.

So hold your head high

and don't be afraid

to march to the front

of your own parade.

If you're still my small babe

or you're all the way grown,

my promise to you

is you're never alone.

You are my angel, my darling,

my star...and my love will find you,

wherever you are.

You are loved.

The most beautiful book Hadley received this weekend from friends of Nate & I ! I'm so obsessed & I totally cried reading it the first time!

Hadley Willow has captured my entire heart. Everyone is right when they say loving your child is a whole different kind of love. Everyday with her is the best day ever. I could be having a bad day and a smile from her changes it all. Although I can't consider anyday a bad day with my little babe. I still can't believe this perfect little girl is ours. She has made our little family complete. I could stare at her all day long & just admire her. Her big gummy smiles accompanied with her right cheek dimple melts me into a puddle. Hadley smiles tons now a days along with cooing & squeaking, I love it so much. Some mornings she will be in her pack in play besides our bed having the time of her life being a little chatter box. She flails her arms and legs with tons of cooing ! I love her little baby stories. It's unbelievable how quickly they grow & change. My squishy little newborn now holds her head strong, wants to sit up & has doubled in size. I held one of her newborn diapers up to her today, I swear only one butt cheek would fit now, awhhh. She is extremely nosey, she wants to look around all the time. She loves being propted up on her boppy pillow so she can sit up and enjoy her surrounding. Most nights Hadley only wakes up once & I can usually get a 5-6 hour stretch out of her !! It's wonderful having sleep back in my life even if it's still not as much as I use to have. It's all worth it to wake up to this smiling babe. I can't wait for my day to begin with her!! She's seriously the greatest ! Yesterday she had her first pool day!! My hubby & I picked up a plastic kiddie pool & she loved every second of it. I figured she would because she loves the bath. She also looked like a little doll in her pink glitter bikini & floppy hat ! I've been dying to get that bikini on her since I got it at my baby shower from one of my fab friends Kayla ! Enjoy some pictures we snapped while she was being a little fishy.
