Hadleys First Thanksgiving

{Baby} Food

This is all my milk I donated when I had to stop breast feeding...(734oz)

I had Hadley tested at an allergist and she tested positive to being allergic to Dairy

From the moment she was born I began thinking of the day when i would be able to make her food. I did a lot of research and decided to buy (this) baby food maker. The reviews were GREAT and its a steamer and food processor in 1! 

I only have one complaint about the baby breeza and its that it doesn't hold much, I spent 2 days making food that would last me 6-7 weeks. Now that much time making food doesn't take away my love for the breeza at all but its something for others to keep in mind. I knew that i wanted to make alot so that i wasn't constantly making her food. 

I used these trays to freeze the food in then popped them into labeled freezer bags

This is hadley loving the food and grunting when my husband took so long to feed it to her

{DIY} Detergent

I found the recipe on Pinterest 

i used everything in this picture and instead of grinding the soap by hand like last time i used this electric grinder (my mom did that part)

I used this huge coca cole bin to mix it all and of course added more fabric softner beads bc Ben is obsessed 

{Half} Birthday!

Six Months: 

Dear Hadley,

Stop growing up so fast.

love, 

Your sobbing mother

On her 1/2 birthday she learned to hold her own bottle and got her shots and weighed in at 12lb 11oz and 25 inches!

Shots made her very sleepy.....

Dear Hadley,

This month was a fun learning and growing month!

You learned to sit up :) Mommy & Daddy are so proud of you. Weight gain has still been an issue. Your our little peanut. Eating food mommy makes has been a fun experience for us all to watch you enjoy your food. Your eye hand coordination is amazing to watch. Sleeping in the swing is not what i had envisioned all those months ago but oh well. You hate taking your acid medicine so I had it switched to a pill I can sneak in your food. We learned that your seriously allergic to Dairy, so we had to get diligent about washing our hands and your things separately. We don't have to go to work anymore so we get to play all day and you LOVE it! (so do I). Being able to make you laugh melts my heart. Daddy loves when you get excited when he walks in the door after a long day. Grandpa babysat you for the first time (you slept the entire time) at 6months 2 days. I cant wait to see you begin to crawl and celebrate the holidays with you this next month baby girl.
