Hazel - Kim&Geoff&Kids

Belly comparison

Kim on the left was 39 days from Hazel’s due date. Kim on the right is 37 days from MuiMui’s due date. Photoshop work was sloppy, but I did my best to get the size right, using her mouth and nose to match the shape as best as I could.

Birdhouse

Hazel made a birdhouse at the free clinic at Lowe’s today. Fun.

Reward

We promised Hazel a reward when she potty trained. She’s actually been overdue, but today was the day we made it to the store. It was the first time she got to pick out a toy for herself

Snakes

Hazel sat and listened to the snake talk for a solid 20 minutes, then was the only kid (out of 4) who was interested in touching it

Medicine

I had medicine hazel needed to take, and she was fighting it badly. Trying to push me away, clenching her mouth, etc. I tried everything, and it was not going well. Just over it, I guess. Then- Me: hazel, did you like going to the hospital? H: no! Me: ok, because if you don’t take […]

Made it through the storm.

At the dr, they didn’t want to let us in the waiting room, due to germ fears. Ugh. Waiting in hallway. Guess who picked her own outfit Hazel (Hazel saw me typing, and wanted to spell her name, which is what is above)

Sick baby requests

Hazel woke from her nap with a specific request to walk and get ice cream. She was pretty happy for about 30 minutes, but it’s back to sick and fussy. Didn’t even finish a single scoop of ice cream… :/

Hazel seems to be pretty happy to be out of the house

Smiles for sick baby girl

It’s been a rough couple days with both Hazel and I being sick. I sent Kim to her mom’s since nobody knows exactly what’s wrong with us. I’ve got a sore throat and cough. Hazel has that, plus an ear infection, runny nose, and red spots. I didn’t want Kim catching it, especially since she’s […]

Dresses

Hazel only wants to wear dresses these days. She is a little sick, so I tried to get her to wear pants today, but she only wanted a dress and I didn’t think it was worth fighting. She picked a pink hello kitty dress. The frillier the better too.

Hazel’s bedtime routine

It’s really funny how Hazel really likes routines. She used to ask for Daddy to help her get to bed, but as of the last few months, she’s asked for Mommy and the patterns are pretty clear. Here bedtime routine is this: One story for Daddy to read, one for Mommy to read. After we […]

Firefighter

Hazel did her firetruck puzzle this morning, then wanted to put on her costume. The picture was my idea. =)

Daredevil

Hazel wanted to walk on the wall with "nooooooo help" When she got to the end, she was thrilled and yelled "Daredevil!!"

Lorikeet

Hazel’s first time feeding the lorikeets at the aquarium of the Pacific.

Caterpillar

We picked some of our cauliflower the other day. I forget the name of the variety, but it has a cool purple hue to it. I was taking pictures of it inside, and Hazel asked to be in the picture. While we were taking pictures, she noticed a caterpillar had hitched a ride inside. I […]

Wolf

Hazel likes the wolf statue.

“big kid friend”

Hazel has made a little friend today, who is being awesome and playing with her and taking her down the slides. I asked hazel if she wanted me to go with her, and she said "no, I want to go with my big kid friend"

“Daddy, take my picture.”

We walked past this wall today, and with no prompting, hazel asked for me to take her picture. Might be the last time she wears this dress, it was a bit tough to get on this morning. 🙁

Hazel’s new bed.

A little sick…

Hazel woke up a few minutes ago, much later than normal. She was showing signs of being a little under the weather yesterday. When she woke, we had a short conversation: H: where is mommy? G: oh, she had to leave for work already. Good morning. How are you? H: maybe I’m a little sick…May […]

New dress

Apparently Hazel now always wants to run to me when I’m taking a picture. This was at the Lunar New Year parade today in Chinatown.

Making a toy

Hazel and I made a toy at the kidspace workshop. It’s a cup with a block on a string. She was pretty proud of herself.

New dress

I was trying to get a picture of Hazel in her new dress that she got for lunar New year. She kept wanting to run and give me a hug. With the slow delay on my phone, I got several pictures of empty grass, or closeups of her face, but I liked this picture a […]

Momentum

Hazel likes to get some momentum up for the slide. Future bobsledder?

Charmer

On Jan 29, 2014 4:10 PM, "Geoff Jennings" <g> wrote: Hazel and the kidspace lady are laughing and giggling like you wouldn’t believe. She is letting Hazel strum the ukulele, and Hazel laughs, claps and dances. Fun. The lady just said to me "I can’t believe how articulate she is! Can I keep her?"

Race

I guess it’s time to start thinking about how to address race with Hazel. Me : hazel, what did you want for dinner? Hazel : sushi! African-american lady next to us, joking: Pizza! Me: hmm, that sounds good, what do you think Hazel? Hazel: sushi. But that brown lady said pizza?? Me : uh, Hazel, […]

Science and Natural History Museum

Hazel and I had a great day at the science and natural history museum yesterday. Saw the Endeavor for the first time, which was cool for sure. A little bummed to learn there is no way to see inside.

Unicorn

Hazel picked the girliest balloon animal possible

Clothes

Hazel had very strong opinions again on her clothing this morning.

My sweet little girl

Hazel wanted to ride her scooter to Popo’s house. I drove her around the corner, then we scootered there. Popo came out, and was helping Hazel with the scooter. I gave her a hug goodbye, started walking to the car. I turned to take a picture of Hazel with Popo, and she called out "Wait, […]

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, […]

Hazel loves her blocks

Hazel cried and screamed until I took her to the playground

Now here, and she won’t leave my shoulder. Sick toddlers are tough

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 […]
