The Cox Family - Corey, Tracey, Lily, Aubrey & Hadley: Hadley is 5 months, Happy Halloween, and much more!

This was a first. I pulled out the camera and actually got Hadley to smile for me while holding the camera up. Usually I have to get her smiling and then quickly get the camera out and click while hoping I got it aimed in the right direction! As a side note: Corey and I are retiring from the baby making business, but we sure have the right ingredients for some beautiful babies!

My how the time is just flying by! Hadley is now 5 months old and is just growing and changing continuously. I know I have done this before, but am still amazed at how quickly they sprout!

From the get go Hadley has wanted to be sitting up and looking around. None of that laying down stuff! She is already sitting up (with balance assistance) and rocking herself back and forth, really pulling herself up with those abdominal muscles. I'm amazed at her strength!

How the girls just all adore each other. They love their little "Hads" as they are starting to refer to her. She also sees them and just lights up. Makes a momma melt!

Lily had a "wacky" dress up day for school. Aubrey of course had to be in on the action as well. Wouldn't you know it too, that is the day we had a bunch of errands to run after school!

But really, their outfits were no different than most days. Atleast not by much.

Hadley taking her first bath in the tub. Lily and Aubrey were in the bath tub with her, and I took pictures of them all together (making sure not to show any jibbly bits.) I however deleted them afterwards, as apparently taking pictures of your own kiddos while bathing can be construed as something different than preserving memories. They all had a great time by the way!

Carving pumpkins!

The girls were so excited for Halloween. This is them, in their costumes, days before Halloween. They were sorting the candy into piles that we had for the trick or treaters (all 2 of them that we had!) Note to self, we do not need the costco sized bag of candy next year!

Hadley my little love bug. All three girls wore this costume, and all three of them made me melt. I thought about getting Hadley a different costume, but just really liked the idea of having all three of my girls in it. I know I am going to have a hard time parting with it.

Here we are all bundled up to take Hadley out to a couple houses before it got to late and cold. We ditched the idea after a couple houses though. It was so early no one was home from work yet, and Hadley really didn't care that she missed out this year!
