Our first big Oops!

Last Saturday Jonathan and I went on a hike with Hazel. We had been on this hike last summer, and we saw lots of people with strollers and whatnot. So we thought we would be fine if we took Hazel in her stroller and NOT her snugli. We were really wrong. We took her stroller over snow pack and through puddles...and her little head was bouncing all over the place...oops! We took her out of her stroller and carried her for a while. Now we know not to attempt this until spring is here and all of the snow is melted!


Here we are after we ditched the stroller and carried her for a while!







Hazel recently discovered her hands, and here she was very happy when she found her thumb! Cute, huh?

We have the best little girl

Starting on Thursday night Hazel decided that she wanted to sleep through the night. She slept from 9:30-5:30...Jonathan and I hadn't had that much sleep since Dec. 30th! Friday night she slept from 10:30-5:30, and again last night she slept from 10:30-6. What a wonderful little girl. This also couldn't have come at a better time. I started back to work on Tuesday last week. I cried my entire 20 minute drive up to school. If I think about it too much, I get a little weepy still. So, please don't ask me how I'm
doing...I might get too emotional on you...just know that I am counting down the days until May 23rd.

Jonathan brought Hazel up to see me at work on Friday, so instead of "pumping" I got to feed her myself.




We are also counting down the days until Hazel's cousin arrives. I am sure Gordon and Kristin are too! We can't wait!!

Happy Valentines Day...a day late

Here is Hazel wishing you all a Happy Valentine's Day in her Love Bug outfit.

Capturing the Moment

This morning we had a smiling session and managed to capture a few pictures of Hazel smiling.

Here she was making a face like she wanted to giggle...but no sound came out!





Here she went from a really cute smile to a sad pouty lower lip.







Here is a really cute smile!
Hooray Hazel likes us...also note her mohawk.

A cute night

Last night for no apparent reason Hazel decided to smile at me. It was the cutest thing I have ever seen, and then she smiled at me two more times! We obviously haven't gotten a picture of that, but the nice thing about smiles is that once she starts smiling she won't stop!

Here she is pushing her head up.



This morning Jonathan and Hazel read some Winnie the Pooh.
