Week#17: R & R (Road Trip & Rolling Over)

 
Check out my budda belly...got to love it!
 
Turning the pages of my book with Daddy!

This is the second week Mike has been home spending time with Hazel.  He is just loving it and Hazel is too.  I was totally impressed that Hazel would just sit on Mike's lap, calm, cool, and perfectly content. I think Hazel can sense Mike's "zen" like demeanor and it rubs off on her.  Since Mike is so very patience and gentle by nature he is adapting great to his role as daddy.

We hit the road over the weekend and headed up to NDSU for Jake's (my cousin) graduation. I wasn't sure how Hazel would do in the car for 4+ hours but again she amazed us - only needing to stop two times to eat and stretch.  Actually, I think Hazel was totally entertained during our journey as she sat in the middle of my mom and I watching our every move in between naps. We rented a SUV cause with all our stuff we would have never fit it in our car.   And yes we did bring the exercise ball and the sound machine but all necessary!

 


Favorite Things this Week:

    •  Rolling over from her back to her stomach.  She just keeps rolling.. and rolling.. and rolling. However, she hasn't quite figured out how to roll back over to her back from her tummy yet but I am sure she will be hard at work on this maneuver.
    • Helping Daddy hold the bottle for feeding time.
    • Kicking off her little booties
    • Wearing 6-9 month clothes
