Here’s what Hazel is best at right now: sitting, spitting, and smiling. These pictures fortunately captured all three.
When I took these photos of Hazel this afternoon, I couldn’t help but think of this set of Nora. They’re about the same age, and in the same spot in our backyard. How did I get so lucky to have two such amazing girls?
Hazel doesn’t let a little temporary sun blindness get her down.
Don’t let that slight foam of drool on her chin distract you from her awesome (if one-handed) So Big performance.
At Sarah’s request, we have Nora doing a short sample of her Applejack impression. You know, Applejack? The My Little Pony? You don’t know her? I guess you don’t have a four-year-old girl.
Girliest bike, girliest dress, girliest helmet, bestiest girl.
Hazel, do you want to…no? Really? Okay then.
Yup, Hazel says “mama.” Best baby ever.
Nora explains what’s in the birthday picture she drew for Kaeleigh.
My (least) favorite part is the stray hairs she drew near my feet. I asked her if she thinks I’m just shedding hairs all the time, gross-style, and Nora responded, “Yeah, Mom. It’s YOU.” Obviously.
I can’t embed this video, but if you click on the link you can see Nora and a neighborhood friend dancing away to Party Rock Anthem on the XBOX Kinect. My favorite part is the side-stepping.
Hazel just really, really loves my mug.
She’s just really serious about her fun.
