Week #13: Hazel's 3 Month Birthday

 Happy 3 Month Birthday Hazel

I can't believe Hazel is already 3 months old and I only have 2 weeks left to spend at home with her until I go back to work.

3 Month Stats:
Weight: 14lbs 2oz
Height: 24 3/4 inches







Favorite things this week:

• Pulling off the little bee from her bouncy seat at Nana & Papa's.  This week she was able to grab for the little toy bee and pull it right off it's holder.   You could totally see the determination on her face - her mouth open, drool coming out while her feet were totally just kicking away!
• BYOB yoga at Blooma's:  Hazel and I have started to take Yoga at Blooma's.  Hazel really seems to like it.  In fact, she had such a good workout in the first part of class she feel asleep during the last half with help of the exercise ball.
• Being Swaddled for her naps and after 5pm.  We found that Hazel sleeps longer when she is swaddled while taking naps during the day.  We also found out that if she gets fussy after 5pm and we swaddle her up she is  pretty content. So I guess you can say we swaddle her to keep her in "the zone."   I tell you it sure beats swinging her in the car seat!!
• Night out with college friends!  Yes, I did it! I made it to our monthly college friend dinner and I left Hazel in good hands (with her Daddy & Nana & Papa).  Even though I knew she was in great hands I was still nervous about it.  After all, in the evenings Hazel still HATES the bottle and often times just likes to snuggle up and be carried by me (ok many I have created this dependency because I just can't seem to put her down and really know in my heart she would be just fine not in my arms.  Never the less this is easier said then done.)  I had a great time with my friends and found out 2 other college friends are prego- Kari with her 4th and Katie with her 1st!!!  I am so excited to see more babies added to the clan and am so very happy for these mamas.

Outtakes:

"Gosh mommy these nails are in serious need of a manicure.  How could you let them get so long?"

"Just doing my Elmer Fudd impersonation"
