Hazel and Margot

Hazel frequently asks to hold Margot. It never lasts long, but it’s cute.

Margot likes her bath.

After a bath, we seem to just get a long period of awake, content baby. Just taking in the world, not fussing, sleeping, or nursing. Just chill.

Big and little

Big and little

Hazel was telling Margot what the pictures are. I thought it was a good chance to get a size comparison.

Tonight I put both kids to bed for the first time

We are at PoPo’s spending the night. Hazel and I started story time after I was able to set Margo down by herself asleep. After 10 minutes though, MuiMui started to cry so I picked her up so we could resume story time. She promptly fell asleep in my arms. Then, still sitting upright and […]

Frisbee

Watching a two year old try and throw a frisbee is pretty funny

Bbq

Jake’s Roadhouse > Dickey’s

Ladybugs

Hazel helped me release ladybugs tonight. She was very proud, and kept telling me "I’m not scared of the ladybugs"

Bell peppers

Hazel really likes bell peppers from the garden. She just ate two straight from the plant.

Mail

Hazel loves to get mail, and likes to hang it on the line we have up in her room.

Learning

A little boy is very patiently trying to teach Hazel how to read a clock.

Starbucks privileges

Last night Hazel threw an epic tantrum. Like a half hour of screaming. I tried everything. Ignoring. Sympathizing. When she hit me, I took away a toy. Then I said, “ok, Hazel, only good girls get to go Starbucks. If you keep yelling, I’m taking away your Starbucks privileges. I’m going to count to 3, […]

50¢

50¢ is a small price to pay to get a solid minute of her million dollar smile on a day like today. Edit   I wish it was just that. Margot is actually super mellow. Still early to tell if it’s personality, or a side effect of her low level jaundice, which can cause sleepiness. […]

Mellow baby?

Margot is content to suck on her pacifier and stare out the window. Geoff and I aren’t sure if we should be grateful or concerned. Baby lethargy from jaundice or mellow baby. Hazel was never like this. I guess time will tell.

Infants are the drill sergeants of parenting bootcamp

"Infants are the drill sergeants of parenting bootcamp. They give you four basic tasks – diapers, burping, feeding, and napping – and then scream at you when you do them wrong. There’s no encouragement, no smiles, just crying and quiet. And they give you tasks at any time, day or night. Just finished changing my […]

Dreaming

I was asleep, and Hazel woke me up, loudly saying something. I opened her door, and she was really upset. "I don’t want all this candy in my bed!!!" I convinced her that there was no candy, and she went back to sleep….

Little issues and big hugs.

In the hospital, they were closely monitoring Margot, since she had some jaundice. Less severe than Hazel, so she never had the photo-therapy that Hazel did, but enough to keep an eye on. We got sent home Saturday afternoon, and by Sunday lunchtime I was seeing things that led me to believe her bilirubin levels […]

“Wish”

We haven’t had an evening at home since last Tuesday, and Hazel is missing it. She’s started saying “I wish” lately, which alternates between cute abd heartbreaking. “I wish I had a BIG playground at our house” is cute. “I wish I could go to the hospital with mommy and daddy and muimui” is closer […]

Home

We got home this afternoon. Kim is still feeling a little beat up and sore, but we’re all glad to be here. Hazel is loving Margot, and wants to be involved with everything. We had a little fuss at bedtime when Hazel’s routine was altered in a tiny way. She likes routine, so starting a […]

Sisters

Hazel and Margot meeting for the first time, and Hazel "holding" Margot for the first time.

Cupcakes

“Aunty” Mel made cupcakes to celebrate the new baby.

Easter egg hunt

Kim is getting released today, but not until the afternoon. I took Hazel to kidspace this morning for an easter egg hunt. (Kims mom went to the hospital) Fun fun!

In my arms

You don’t think? I told kim I thought she looked like a slightly more Asian version of Hazel. 🙂 First picture is hazel, second is Margot On Apr 18, 2014 6:02 AM, "katy Johnstone" <katy> wrote: She doesn’t look like Hazel at all. It will be so fun to watch her change and grow! Katy […]
