May your days be merry and bright.

I've never been an overzealous Christmas advocate but I'm changing. This is the first time I've ever had a home to decorate, a baby to shop for, and a family to get excited for Christmas. I'm following the strict unwritten Christmas rules. Bryan already knows his christmas present and when it arrived he ripped open the box and started pulling it out. I made him put every piece of it back in the box and I wrapped it up in christmas paper. No presents before Christmas! 

Here's my baby's 5 month pictures and her first Christmas! 

 Drool.

 Flying.

Push Ups. 

Is that Santa coming? Not yet...

Until then I'll be singing out the forgotten carols with Micheal McClean. Hadley seems to like it. I have one fan.

4 Months

Hold on people, it's picture overload again. 

 Well this one is just funny. 

At 4 months we spend most of our time rolling over and grunting. We also had her ears pierced. It was a mean mom day. We had her 4 month shots and then went and pierced the ears. It was an emotional day for me. Maybe because I did mine at the same time. I had my ears pierced before but didn't wear earrings very often. I usually could still get them in. The last time I did was on my wedding day and I could not get them in for the life of me, so my mom jammed them through. After that I couldn't get them in anymore?? Anyways I thought we might as well do it together. 

I'm trying stimulate Hadley's brain, so I give her pop quizzes all the time. They go something like,"Who's my favorite baby ever?"Hadley is! She'll probably be pretty smart. 

Trick or Treat, Smell My Feet.

I know most mothers would probably think cute & girly for their babies first Halloween. I thought Bride of Frankenstein. I actually came up with it because Bryan and I had been watching Wings on Netflix and Faye was dressed like that on their Halloween episode and I thought it would be funny. And cute. 

The two little Indians. 

 Motor Cross Racers

 Tough football player

 Dork... I mean Buzz.

 Black Widow. Try taking pictures of Black Widow in Action.

 Bam Bam.

 Pebbles.

 Tougher football player.

3 Months

3 months and she keeps getting cuter.

2 month

My baby is 3 months old today! But here are the 2 month pictures we took awhile ago. 

Now onto 3 month pictures I guess...

The Tongue Series.

Bryan took all of these and he thinks he's a professional photographer now. He named them the tongue series also. 

 The bigger she gets the more she looks like me as a baby. That's my opinion anyways. 

This was Hadley's first dress... not so much anymore. 

Count Your Blessings...

 Count your blessings= 2. 

Janae and I ended up having our babies 4 days apart- so why not have a double blessing! 

Probably not too many opportunities to do that. So here's pictures of the day. 

Grandpa & Grandma Jones.

Grandma & Grandpa Anthony.

 Great Grandpa & Grandma Jones.

 All the grands...

 Girls only 

 with the exception of Beckham.

 The Anthony's.

 Some shots of the brunch.
