February Fun

Who needs toys or teethers when you could just chew on your toes? Sometimes she gets both hands around one foot and pulls it right into her mouth!














Hazel's valentine sleeper that says 'Be Mine' right on the bum!











Look what I found in the laundry!




























Rice Cereal, Yummy!
























It took almost a week for Hazel to figure out what to do with the cereal. A fair amount still makes its way back out on the bib or under the chin. She does actually consume some of it though! Maybe we will try vegies next week.

Cousins Unite!

Hazel got to meet her cousin Nicolas for the first time this weekend! They had fun 'talking' and looking at each other. When we put them on the floor to play Nic kept tugging on Hazel's ears!






Here Nic, Hazel, and Ellie got to play together. Ellie the oldest of the three got to hold Hazel on the boppy. They had fun playing and laughing and rolling around on the floor.






Nic, almost 1 year!, Hazel 5 months, Ellie 2. Don't these 3 look like trouble!

Hazel's got an A in it

Hazel gets to spend two days a week at home with her Dad. He likes to sing and play his guitar for her. The latest tune for her is called "Hazel's got an A in it"











Last night Hazel did not want to go to bed. She just wanted to hang out and watch mom work on her school stuff. She is in her PJs and her sleep sack, snuggled in her boppy, holding her beetle. Quite the set up! She loves her beetle with the crinkly wings, it sings twinkle twinkle little star.

Hazel loves to talk to herself in the mornings when first wakes up. She likes to talk to her mom and dad too! Whenever I get the camera out she gets a little shy, but as you can see in this video she warms up.

4 month check up

Hazel had her 4 month appt. last week. She weighed 14lbs 12 oz and was 25 inches long. She is in the 74th Percentile for both weight and height so I think we are right on track. We might be starting cereal soon! She really didn't like the shots she got- she was fussy for a few days afterward.

Milestones

Hazel rolled over for the first time on Thursday!






She is getting better at it, but hasn't figured out how to roll back over once she gets on her stomach. We were very excited! I haven't been able to catch it on video yet. She doesn't roll over on demand like Kessler and Cicero- haha!











Hooded towels are just too cute- I always want to take her picture when she is in one.











Hazel slept through the night both nights this weekend! I did wake up twice the first night and checked on her b/c I couldn't believe how long she was sleeping. She is now going about 12 hours at night, now if only I could sleep that much- we would be set.

Hazel is very observant! She is always checking out her surroundings. Just this week she has started to grab her toys and stick them in her mouth. It is amazing how overnight she does something new. I think cereal will be in the near future- Alex says she has been asking for Count Chocula, but I think we will start with rice cereal.







Grandpa George and Grandma Nancy got her this cool highchair for xmas. Check out the 5 pt harness on that thing- she's not going anywhere! No food yet, but for now she can lounge while mom and dad eat.

Hazel's First Christmas

Grandma Shirley bought Hazel this really cute outfit. She looked 'elf-like' with the pointy red hat on. My favorite part was the Merry Christmas across the bottom.









Notice her hair is finally starting to grow back in now that she spends more time on her side and belly. I think she will be rolling over any day now













Hazel really enjoyed watching the lights on our retro tree. She was mesmorized by the tree.
