Happy Seven Months Hazel! August 28, 2011

Week Thirty

You are trying sooo hard to crawl!  You're almost there- up on all fours.  Rocking back and forth and putting your hands up one at a time.  Any day now...


Week Twenty-Nine

We spent the week hanging out with your Grams, Uncle Dave and Auntie Court.  BBQ'n, Wine Tasting (well not you), and just relaxing.

Week Twenty-Eight

This was a really joyous week for our family.  Your Uncle Dave came home from Afghanistan!  We were very lucky.  He was hurt a couple of weeks before he came home when an IED exploded near him but with the exception of a concussion and blown ear drum he was physically fine.  It was such a relief to be able to give him a hug and see his smiling face in person.  It was also really special to see him hold you for the first time.  You like his scruffy face:)


Hanging out with Jasper--- you like to pet your dogs:)


Careful Jasp- no licking!


Grams waiting for your Uncle Dave- we were all anxious.


Couldn't wait for him to get in the house- ha!


 Awwwww


Meeting little Emmett for the first time--- pocket dog?


Week Twenty-Seven

This week you went to your first CA State Fair--- technically your second fair though since we took you to the Dixon May Fair a couple of months ago.  You had a great time- but it was super hot so we stripped you down and dowsed you with sunscreen.  For some reason the sunscreen turned your hair blue!  It was pretty funny- and the artist who drew your caricature even included a little bit of blue hair in your drawing:)  Dad and Auntie Courtney played some games and won you a little stuffed monkey.  We're not sure how hygienic it is though so we just keep it on your bookshelf for now:)


Week Twenty-Six

Week Twenty-Five

This week was full of firsts!  You went on your first vacation to Angels Camp.  You went on your first hike in Yosemite and saw your first state park at Big Tree.  You also went swimming for the first time!  Check it out:
