four months

shorts & headband: umekobaby At Hazel’s four month check up she weighed 13 pounds (80th percentile) and was 25.85 inches long (95th percentile). She did much better with her shots this time around, but still cried for a bit. She had a fever the next day and was very snugly all week long. It seemed like the rotavirus vaccine might have given her a bad bum, but it seems to be working its way out. At four months Hazel: Still loves chewing on her hands, she especially likes to twist her hand around and chew… Read More

me: top: jcpenny, flats: jcpenny (similar), watch: (similar) Hazel: dress: carters, headband: Knot Just A Stitch It seems like just yesterday when Brand and I brought Hazel home from the hospital.

I… Read More

a condensed version of my weekend

Just look at those sleepy eyes. I’m getting to this rather late. This week Hazel has been enjoying nap time with mom… back to her newborn days where she only likes to take naps in my arms. I’ll take what I can get. So needless to say this whole week -and last week- I haven’t gotten much accomplished. Last weekend Brand’s brother and his family came to town for a bridal shower and a baby blessing. It was a fun weekend, Hazel met her Uncle, Auntie and cousins for the first time -her Auntie has… Read More
