Long Beach Aquarium

Thanks grandma and grandpa. Hazel still loves her birthday gift. We went to the aquarium again today. Right now, she loves (to the point of ignoring a lot of other stuff) the touch exhibits. Today, she touched jellyfish, anemones, star fish, sea cucumbers, horned sharks and a ray. I couldn’t get pictures of them all, […]

Just like daddy

She wanted to take my picture. I actually have an old point and shoot I think I’ll give her.

Jam

Guess who liked daddy’s grape jam?

Training

It’s not like climbing real rock, but pulling plastic is good training. She actually got off the ground on the overhang, but I was slow with the camera and it didn’t happen again.

Pretty smiley and happy…

For a little girl who just projectile vomited all over Starbucks. She is in a good mood, getting restless in the house, but not keeping anything down. I thought she was maybe better this morning. I asked her what she wanted for breakfast, and she said starbucks. I felt like escaping the house, and it […]

Poor baby

I’ve had a stomach bug for the last 2 days, and it appears I’ve given it to Hazel. She threw up this morning. Lots. Then I had to use the restroom, and came out to find her asleep on the dining room chair. Pretty unusual for the kid who hates to nap and just woke […]

Bugs

Hazel is digging playing/building the bugs today.

Jennifer and Hazel Reindeer

just a little comparison. I think Jennifer was a few months short of 2 in the photo, and Hazel is 2 years and 4 months. Tried to get the size close.

Thank you

Hazel was saying thank you grandma and grandpa in this photo, but I didnt have enough room on my hpone to.get video. The blocks are really, really nice.

Hazel is Christmas shopping

We hadn’t been talking at all today about dad/grandpa, but she just picked up this teenage mutant ninja turtle watch set, and said, very seriously "I think grandpa will like this. "

The sun.

Hazel was playing with tinker toys on her own, and made this. She called it her "sun".

Music time

Just a photo I like a lot of Hazel, really getting into music time at the Kid’s museum.

At the zoo

I had fun playing photographer while hazel played at the zoo today.

Starbucks

After our cold, slightly damp visit with Santa at the zoo.

Fossils

Rapt attention for the fossil talk.

Caterpillar

Hazel just asked me to take her picture. I can’t remember her doing that before.

Reindeer

I just asked Hazel what she wanted to get Kim for her birthday. She looked serious, and said "A reindeer" Me- "really? A real one?" Hazel started laughing, "nooooo. I’m just being silly. I’m joking around." So fun to watch her personality develop.

Tidepools

I read about some good, easily accessible tidepools, and since we had a gorgeous sunny day with a negative tide at 1:30, decided today was a good time to check them out. Saw a lot of cool little stuff, like crabs, hermit crabs, anemone, etc. Neat spot.

Whoa

Hazel is two, and the emotions are wild. Today, we dropped Kim at the train station, and as we drove off, Hazel started sobbing. I asked her what was wrong, and she said "I forgot to tell mommy ‘have fun at work’". Big, heaving sobs. I pulled over, and we called Kim. Got her voicemail, […]
