18 and 19 Weeks

18 Weeks


She's been loving her fingers!


We went out for a big family dinner, so of course I had to have my cuties matching!
Frozen yogurt date :)


Full of smiles


In addition to her fingers, Hazel likes to self-soothe by playing with her hair.


I'm working on a gallery wall, and when Emery saw this picture, she thought it was Hazel.  I don't think she believed me when I told her it was her as a baby!


We headed to the water park for one more hurrah before the season ended.  It was cloudy and the water was freezing, but Emery had a great time!


Daddy and Hazel opted to stay mostly on the sidelines!



19 Weeks


Hazel loves to chew on stuff - hands, teethers, blankets, you name it!




She also found her feet this week and started really rolling back to stomach with ease (which made for some rough nights of sleep!)


We had her 4 month well check, and poor thing didn't know she was about to get 4 shots :(


This was a blissful night right before her roly-poly ways caught up with us!


Wild-haired girl!


Love our video monitor!


This big girl is now a bus rider!  Hazel gets to take her afternoon nap without being interrupted, and other than some tears the first day, Emery seems to enjoy it.


Have a great week!

Hazel ~ 4 Months

Hazel turned 4 months old yesterday!





The last 4 months have flown by! 
 I can't believe we are 1/3 of the way to a year :(

16 and 17 Weeks

Looks like I'm a bit behind again!  Here are the highlights from the last two weeks. 

16 Weeks Old!


We got a new-to-us jumper.  Hazel is a little small for it, but she looks really cute!


We had a fun (and very hot) morning at the park with friends.  I managed to only take a picture of Hazel!


I can't get enough of this cute girl!


And put the two of them together - oh my cuteness!


We got professional portraits done of Emery several times throughout her first year, so we are trying to keep up with that for Hazel too.  These are a few of her 3 Month(ish) portraits. 







Daddy turned 31!  Abraham and I met when we were 21, and now here we are almost a decade later with a nice little life and two gorgeous children!


17 Weeks Old!


Getting so big :)


We set up Hazel's high chair, and she seems to enjoy sitting in it.  We're not going to start solids yet, but it's nice to have her with us for meals.


Sweet sister snuggles


Emery started PK3 this week.  I thought I'd try and get a Pinterest-worthy photo.  As you can tell, Emery was not on board with my idea!


She really was happy though, and she loves school!


Hazel and I have enjoyed our one-on-one time while big sister is in school.


But it's good to be reunited again after school!


We are enjoying a visit from Grandma and Grandpa this weekend.


Have a great Labor Day!

14 and 15 weeks

In an effort to catch up, this will cover the last 2 weeks!

14 Weeks!


Pretty girl looks so much like Daddy!


Enjoying an afternoon of lower than normal temps


Pizza night!


Big girl trying to hold her bottle


Always so happy!


Finally caught the ice cream truck!


Trying to sleep without a swaddle (trying being the operative word)


15 Weeks!


Trying (again) to sleep without a swaddle.  She can go to sleep just fine, but staying asleep is a different story.


First day of our new therapy day program!


Celebratory lunch


Trying out Sophie the Giraffe


Emery loves our new tent!


Emery got to model for an online clothing/accessory boutique this week.  This was my favorite of the 3 outfits she modeled.  And we got to keep the clothes!


Love our sweet girl and all her wild hair!
