I am a bit behind on blogging. School started this past week and trying to get set in a daily routine takes a bit of time. We are still working out the kinks. Phillip also starts grad school on Monday which will make things even more interesting. Such is life. Hazel has been entertaining as [...]

Too big for her britches, or the other way around?
Tonight while I was getting ready to go and meet some girlfriends for dinner, Hazel scampered into the bedroom. I heard her fumble through one of my easy-to-reach drawers exclaim “mommy’s!” and quickly scurry away. I finished getting dressed then came out to find her looking like this.
side-note: She is bare-bottomed due to potty training. We [...]

Kohl’s Children’s Museum
For Hazel’s birthday our good friend Chris got her a year long membership to the Kohl’s Children’s Museum. It is a adorable place and I am ashamed to say we have not taken full advantage of our membership. This was only our second trip since receiving it in December. However, it is quite a drive [...]

Squibbville
As I mentioned earlier we are spending quite a chunk of time in Salem this summer. Our last trip back was especially fun as all of the cousins and their wee ones were in town for Kacey and Micah’s baby shower. Although Hazel seemed pretty overwhelmed by all of the commotion, she warmed up eventually. [...]

Hazel’s Number 1 Pick
Hazel’s favorite video, for your viewing pleasure. We watch this video at least 10 times a day. Hazel comes over to the lap top and says “Elmo, alk, alk” (walk, walk), (you will get it once you watch the video). I must admit, it is a pretty catchy little ditty. I have also been trying to [...]

Climbing, among other things
Hazel recently.
This evening after work Hazel and I were running some errands. She is not the most patient shopper in the world and was starting to get fussy just before our last stop. I tried to distract her by asking if she wanted to “hold mommy’s purse” to which she answered by saying “rurse.” I handed her my (zipped [...]

Visitors
We had a fun-filled weekend full of grandparents and even a surprise visit from Uncle Dorian! My brother flew into O’Hare on Friday from Arkansas. He surprised my parents with an unexpected Thanksgiving visit. My parents were coming to visit us already so we decided a few weeks back we would be masters of disguise [...]

11 Months Old Today!
Oh my. I really can’t believe my baby is 11 months old today, one month short of a year, but lets not rush things.
A few things…..
Yesterday, Hazel got the first shot in the series of two flu shots. She smiled the whole time. Dr.Calvert said she looked perfect and that she seemed to be [...]

“Hey mom, look what I can do!”
I have never been so grateful to have my camera close by. I reached across the table to grab it and she removed her finger from her nostril, then I told her I wanted to take a picture of her and she stuck it back in, no joke. She held it in there for a [...]

The Little Gym
We received a free trial invitation to “The Little Gym.” It is a gym/gymnastics type environment for little ones. It was a 45 minute class for 10 months+. It was so much fun seeing the babies and toddlers roll around and play. The instructor was very nice and helped the kids work on skills, [...]
