Happy half birthday, Hazel Lynne!

Such a happy baby

Sleeps in her crib at night and bassinet during the day, but loves to be held for naps (nap time gymnastics here)

Arms flail as if independent from her body

She's a little chubby. Size 12 month clothes- 90th %ile- never had one drop of anything but breast milk (except that time Grey put a smarties candy in her mouth... But that's another story...) 

 

Car seat story

Grey likes to put his face in the car seat and said "hihihihi" to Hazel while very close to her face. We used to try and stop him, but now Hazel tries to nurse on his nose, so I figure she's ok with it. 

I think Justin likes our new (to us) Lazy Boy

Mary got staff member of the month!

Lansing-East Lansing-Grand Rapids

Last weekend, we combined a work trip for Mary with a trip downstate for our niece's wedding. We had such a fun time!

Hazel having fun on our bed while we packed 

The Dairy Store! 

Hazy liked the chocolate cheese (jk)

Horrocks is AMAZING!!! You can shop with beer! All local beers on tap, a HUgE beer selection, tons of produce that's way cheap, organic home and beauty products, and a normal grocery section with lots of local and organic options. 

MSU game!

At Impression 5 museum. Grey wanted to stay at this homemade marble run forever. He followed every marble on its way down. 

Hazel liked the birth-18 month section at the museum 

The bubble section was Grey's favorite. Here he's blowing a bubble from this big bubble screen. 

Weird time to lift up your shirt

This stuff was called feral liquid (like feral cats...?)

I remember taking this same pic when I was young!

We stayed Friday night with Joel and Jaqueline

We went to the Grand Rapids Children's Museum before the wedding. This table was so cool! It spins, and you get the discs to spin by starting them with rods, then letting them go.

Eden's wedding! Eden watched Grey for a few months when we first moved 

Kiss kiss

Drinks and apps while we wait for the reception

Normal scene of the night- Grey LOVES big cousin Aidan, and he was his shadow all night. 

Aidan loved Hazel, but she was a bit squirmy for him :) 

Hazel loved big cousin Ashley's hair 

Candy table- Grey didn't know what to do with himself 

Bros

Dancing

Matchy family. I made the ties, headbands, and Hazel's dress. 

Finishing the nursery

Thanks for the wall stickers, mom!

Getting used to the crib 

I made this from an old lampshade frame, yarn from past projects, fabric from our wedding, and handmade birds
