Week Fourty-Eight

Happy 2012 Hazel!  Oh my how the year has flown by.  We are already planning your first birthday party!  I just can't believe it... all the milestones you've hit this year have been a blur... from smiling, to sitting up, crawling, walking, "talking" (babbeling:))... you've gained almost 20 lbs and doubled in height.  What a year for you!

You said your third word (other than mama and dada) this week-- "bye."  You are not saying words on command yet, but you've got "duck," "love," and "bye" under your belt.

You love to eat your veggies- but this evening you were eating in such an erratic manner... it was hilarious to watch.

Perfecting your dance moves!  This was new this week so you're still working on your skills:)

You and Emmett definitley have a bond--- the babies of the family, you love to play together.  Here you are playing tug-of-war!

Happy Eleven Months Hazel! December 28, 2011

Week Fourty-Seven

Your First Christmas!!!

Week Fourty-Six

Well we have entered the holiday season which means lots of time with friends and family!  You had your first play date with Ellie this week... she is getting so strong and with a little help you both played with the toys on her exersaucer!

We also took you to the mall to meet Santa!  You were so good--- a little confused but you managed a small smile for the camera!

You also went to your first Adkins Family Christmas at your GG's clubhouse in Vallejo!  You met some of your extended family for the very first time!

Your cousin Sophie showing you how to play with your picnic basket sorter that she got you for Christmas! 

Auntie Courtney and Uncle David shared some special news:):):) 

GG, "Auntie Diana" (haha) and Aunt Nancy. 

Uncle Tony 

 Cousin Cassie and Bryan.

Cousin Kim 

Cousin Kara, Tim and Soph!

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:
