We’re at the Santa Cruz surf contest, and Hazel keeps saying something that sounds very much like "I’m a taco!". Very excited, and with a big grin. No idea what it means, but it keeps making me laugh.“I’m a taco"
Hazel climbed this structure to the top with no help. She was very, very excited at the top.
Hazel has a posse. She wants them to go with her everywhere, and wants them in bed. She asks for them by name. Minnie, Eek Eek (a dolphin), and one of three human baby dolls that seem pretty interchangeable right now.
She has been carrying this bag of onions all over the store, and gets upset if I take it away.
She is having half a whole wheat bagel for breakfast. She was very particular about what she wore today.
Very excited about the “turdle” sticker’s. There were hundreds of stickers, but I asked Hazel which she wanted, and she picked out turtles.
There is probably no child rearing issue that Kim and I disagree on more often (mild, but frequent) than what to dress Hazel in. Kim -“I think she’s cold.” Me – “she’s fine.” Kim- “I’m putting a sweater on her” Me- “Kim, it’s 68, sunny,
This was taken while hazel was a month or two old, certainly way before she started raiding the snack pantry and asking for "help" with canned goods.
Just coloring before dinner. Hazel hold a pencil and crayon surprisingly well thanks to Popo.
We wonder if she is a budding fashionista. At the park and when we are out, she loves pushing mom and dad away so that we don’t walk too close. Then she walks ahead, turns around to wave and grin widely, before turning back around
Dear Hazel, Today is July 2, 2012. This letter has been a long time coming, but you see, with the remodeling and the move, and all the time spent just adoring you, your parents have been too busy documenting for posterity just how much we’ve
Dear Zoe, I really like to dress myself. But its hard. I spent 10 minutes trying to get the tights on. I gave up, and tried to put a tshirt on, but something seemed wrong. My dad keeps trying to help, but I want to
Hazel was feeding the penguin statues and loving it. She got her hand stamped as we left the aquarium, with a turtle. After dinner, she went to sleep in the car, so she had no bath that night. The next day, I was giving her
Hazel is loving her birthday gift. She is spending a lot longer at each exhibit, and doing lots of pointing and exclaiming. She also says fish (ishes) and turtle (turdle) now.
Hazel now does quite a bit of pretend play. She’ll pretend to eat and drink food that isn’t there or “pick” berries off the picture in a grocery store flyer and feed them to us. Here, Kim suggested she close her eyes and pretend to
Hazel and I stopped by Starbucks, sat outside watching the rain, when this little dog came and sat beside us. Hazel sat beside him, gently petting him. Reminded me of an old man and his dog sitting on the porch.
[tentblogger-vimeo 56390908] Kim received a silly birthday card from a co-worker, that plays music when you open it. She loves it, and dances happily when it plays. When it stops, she signs for more.
We had a great time for Halloween 2012. Went to the Pumpkin Festival. Went trick-or-treating. It was great.
