Discovering Leaves

What a beautiful day to discover leaves

Someone to look up to

Olivia better be a good role model... because Hazel is watching her every move!

Baby Train

Here is the Baby Train... Hazel in the lead (with difficulty balancing...) and the pro, Ethan, in the back!

Smooch Cam

At Baby Group Dinner, Hazel thanked all her guests for coming with a big smooch.

So Cute

I don't even know what to say about this new smile... it's so darn cute.

If Hazel had to wear glasses

At Build a Bear, Hazel tried on some accessories...

Build-a-Bear

I know... Hazel is too young for this?? Look at her hugging "Princess"... doesn't she look old enough to appreciate the cuddliness of her new toy?

Thanks Mommy and Daddy for taking me to build a bear!

Horse Ride

Hazel enjoyed her first experience on a carousel at Chinook with Daddy. She smiled the whole time as Daddy switched her from horse to horse to horse.

How Ladylike

Cousin Jake

Cousin Jake is very scared of me, but he is learning to love me.

Auntie Annie's Famous Mittens

Thanks Auntie!! If only I could figure out how to put them on now...

Morning Routine

Every morning after my bottle, I play with this (Thanks, Olivia) for about 30 minutes. My mom is now immune to the song it plays over and over and over and over...

Crawling and Standing

I'm very busy now that I'm crawling and standing up. My mom has to watch me very carefully now!

Ladies Luncheon

Olivia, Reese and Hazel had a playdate together and really ripped apart the house! Every room, toys. That's what its all about. Reese was a real wrecking crew too - she ate her whole bottle!! What a good girl.

Birthday Party #2

The second Birthday party of the day was for another Ethan's First Birthday! Hazel played in the tub of balls and thoroughly enjoyed herself! The goal was to find a rubber ducky to win a prize and Hazel got greedy and found many. Another great birthday party and an exhausted Hazel slept well at the end of the day.

Birthday Party #1

The First Birthday party on Saturday was for Ethan's First Birthday and Butterfield Acres came! Hazel got to pet some animals, but she seemed scared and unsure of the sheeps! It was fun and the animals were really cute.

Prepping for Halloween

This isn't the real Hallween outfit... but we're practicing.

Want some?

Hazel is always willing to share...

Getting ready for snow

If Hazel doesn't choose to wear her bear toque, she has this ensemble hat and mitts. She's ready for snow now...

Beary Cute

Why is she so darn cute? Natalie bought Hazel the cutest Bear Toque for winter... and she likes it... and doesn't try to take it off like she does with every other hat we try to make her wear.

Playland at Market Mall

Elliot, Ethan S. and Hazel went to Playland at Market Mall and usually Hazel just would sit and stare at all the 'big' kids, but not today. She was crawling all over the place and becoming Miss Independant. My little girl is all grown up :(

Flower Baby

Playing with Cory at their new house. Hazel found a pretty flower necklace to wear for the evening...

Swinger

Hazel seriously can't get enough of this swinging thing... it's an obsession!!

Stanley Park

Learning to stand is tough stuff!!

Walk in the Park

Just out for a nice walk with Chano and Aly in Edworthy Park for Labour Day Long Weekend. It's so tiring being me.

Double the Fun

That girl is so cute... she deserves a big kiss :)
