- she loves food; all food......well, most food. She still isn't in to chicken very much, but she loves casseroles, squeeze applesauce, drinkable yogurt, mandarin oranges, cheerios, raisins, mac and cheese, cheese, cheese and more cheese, and she has gotten several tastes of ice cream now and I think she is in love. We even handed her a Popsicle the other day and let her go to town. She LOVED it! However, my pet peeve of hers when she is in her high chair is she loves to throw everything on the floor.....ggrrrrrrr! The mess mat is always down or her high chair is on the kitchen floor so it is easier to clean up. We usually end up having to do bath night every night too, because someone insists on running her fingers through her hair after she has food all over her hands. Stinker!
- she is movin' and groovin' now; she can walk behind her shopping cart or behind any other push toy. Her ankles are rolling in (pronating) like Norah's did, but not quite as bad, so we will see if we are on the road to braces or just supportive shoes and arch supports for her shoes
- when you say, "I love you" she leans in for a kiss.....an open mouth kiss! She is such a snuggle bug. She likes snuggling before bed and she snuggles in the morning when she wakes up.
- she is completely done with bottles. I was a little worried the first couple of weeks after she turned one because that was always my goal, to be done with bottles at one. We were done with Norah at one and so I wanted to be done with Hazel at one. It took her a couple of weeks, but she quickly realized she was going to get the same drink out of a sippy cup and so now we are bubba free! My counter is so bare without the drying rack and bottle pieces all over the place!
- one of her favorite things to say is "uh-oh"!
- she loves her lambie and froggie; she usually only gets these in her crib, but sometimes lambie finds himself in the living room in the morning if we are having a sleepy morning.
- she is really good at climbing stairs.......we found this out in a hurry!!!!!
We love our little Hazey!!!!!

| Lilly, Audrey and Norah Notice Norah's outfit in this picture? In the next few pictures you will notice an outfit change. Norah decided to make Hazel's party the place where she threw up for the first time! It sure did make things interesting for a minute, but I think with all the excitement and the caterpillar food ~aka~ candy she ate, it made her tummy a little upset. Good thing I brought a change of clothes (which were originally in case we had a tinkle accident ;) ). All was good after that and she was back to her sweet self the rest of the party! |
