Week #33: First full week (actually 4 days) of daycare

Yep, I have started to crawl!

 I can't believe it but I survived.  Hazel started daycare this week and it was really hard for me to let her go and spend the day with strangers.  I know she will be loved on in a wonderful Christan environment but still I had second thoughts if we were really doing the right thing.   Mike does the drop off which helps so much. I am totally not at the point where I can drop her off but maybe some day. For now though I enjoy racing home and picking her up.  It is crazy how much you miss your little one when you are away from them.  The teachers at daycare have been awesome and don't even mind that I call at least 2 times a day to check in!  Hazel did one of her first art projects and seems to really like the other kids.

My first art project..finger painting

Just playing

On Friday Nana & Papa took Hazel to the zoo.  It was great to have Hazel ease into daycare and I think it has really help her get adjusted (or maybe it just has really helped me) either way it has been great for our family.

With the start of daycare Hazel also got her first cold. Poor little thing had a gunky eye, runny nose, and a horse/raspy voice.  Despite her cold she was in great spirits!

Favorite Things This Week:

• Patty Cake - Hazel started to clap her hands!
• On Sunday night, September 5th she started to crawl - her right leg is stretched kind of out while she pushes her self along with her right foot, her left knee she uses to crawl.  It is really cute!
• She pulls herself up on her music table by herself and can also pull herself up to standing when grabbing onto Mommy's jeans!
