Sidenote...

There is something you've been doing for a couple of months I keep forgetting to mention in your posts.  It is so sweet but not something I can catch in a photo... maybe a video if I got your Dad involved at just the right time.  Anyways... you play a little game that goes like this:  Mommy is on her phone, reading, watching TV (basically not paying attention to you)... so you crawl or walk around to my back and pull yourself up leaning against my back.  You slowly peak around my shoulder until I finally look at you, and then you sweetly smile and giggle when I catch your eye.  Then I go back to what I was doing and you peak around again until I catch your eye again, and you giggle again.  We do this over and over for about 10 minutes.  It's so cute and so hard to explain, but it's something I don't want to forget about as you grow older and tired of this sweet little game:)

Week Fourty-Five

You love bananas.  The proof is on your forehead.

Week Fourty-Four

Pacifiers?  Huh?  Binky?  What?  You are 10 months old and have always rejected a pacifier everytime I tried to give you one.  Now all of a sudden they are your favorite play-time pass-time.  You randomly found one in your toy box this week, tried it out and never looked back.  Go figure.

You've also become quite the little professional walker.  Check you out:



Happy Ten Months Hazel! November 28, 2011

Notice anything new here?

Week Fourty-Three

Happy Thanksgiving Hazel!  We fried a turkey at your Uncle Dave and Auntie Courtney's house.  We almost didn't get to do it because the weather was threatening rain- but we were able to pull if off.  (Well really your Uncle, Dad and Grampa Ken pulled it off).

Side note: Your first freckle popped up on your forhead this week--- I know silly detail but it is so cute!

Yes, those are egg rolls.  They are a tradition in our family at the holidays--- your Dad is the master.

And this is why you do not put people on the edges of the frame while using a wide-angle lens.  (It's the only shot I have with everyone in it though- sorry Grams!)

Week Fourty-Two

Breaking Dawn, Purple Panda's and Strawberry Onesies were the highlight of the week:)

Week Fourty-One

What a week.  You had many exciting things happen this week.  First of all you have gone from taking 1 step to taking three or four steps.  Dr. Agee was right about you being an early walker (you just turned nine months old!)  It's really cute to see you walk because you concentrate on your balance but then as soon as you fall you laugh at yourself!  We are very proud of you:)

Not only are you walking, you are also sleeping through the night in your crib now.  Your Dad spent the last week or so helping you learn how to fall asleep in your crib.  I had a hard time with this because you would cry and want to be held.  But he taught you really well and never left you alone in the dark to cry.  He was always there with you and by the end of the week you were pretty good at your new routine!

Last, but certainly not least, you met your new friend Ellie!  She was born on Nov. 3 and we went to visit her a couple of times during her first week.  She's not quite ready to play with you yet but it won't be long!
