The last couple years have been a 'merciful blur' as my mom likes to put it. Hard to believe our little baby is now 2 years old. Running, jumping, climbing, feeding herself and talking in complete sentences. My mother is here for a 2 week visit. The last time was December 2006! We had Auntie… Continue reading She’s Two! →

Hazel has developed a shoe fetish.

I'm playing around with posting videos on myspace. Hazel turned 18 months on Thanksgiving this year. We did our annual pilgrimage to Cinda and Dave's house for turkey and fixins. We couldn't stay long enough to play games but Hazel did help wash up after dinner. (video removed) Despite having a cold she was pretty… Continue reading Thanksgiving 2007 →

Hazel has reached the developmental milestone Rob and I are calling "Spookyfish". For those of you who don't watch South Park - one of the characters, Stan, gets this pet goldfish which turns out to be evil and kills people. No - that's not Hazel's new trick 🙂 In one scene Stan is trying to… Continue reading Spookyfish in San Francisco →

The Weekend - Sept 9th and 10th We rented a car for the weekend to see some things we couldn't get to easily by walking or public transportation. Saturday we went north and crossed the Golden Gate bridge into Sausasilto before heading south to check out west San Francisco. On the way over to the… Continue reading San Francisco continued… →

Monday Sept 4th So we made it down here uneventfully and even lucked out and were able to take Hazel's car seat on the plane even tho' we didn't pay for an extra seat - it wasn't a full flight! She slept until right before landing and Rob was able to calm her down enough… Continue reading Live from San Francisco →

Early (waaaaay too early) this morning Hazel rolled over on her own for the first time. She was in her crib, fussing, hungry and kicking and managed to lever herself over to her stomach. I put her on her back and she did it again. We haven't tried it with a happy, non-fussy baby but… Continue reading Rolly Polly →

Hazel continues to gain weight tho' at a slightly slower pace since we stopped the butter injection treatments. Last week was her 2 month checkup and a round of shots. Oh that was fun - 2 shots in each leg. Good thing she didn't see the size of the needles before she got stuck or… Continue reading Toy Porn and 10 lb baby →
