Running in Circles

Every night we put Hazel in her crib in the exact same position- in the middle of her crib, on her back, tucked in by a few blankets and a heavier (unmatching) one for heat! Every morning we wake up and she's in a completely different position. We laugh because she sleeps through the night but obviously she's having a party and just not telling us about it! 

enjoy!

I know I say this every month but I really cannot believe another entire month and come and gone. 

Our sweet Hazel is now 5 months old!



Michelle and Ryan- these two are for you. Thank you for the cute little sleeper- we had a good laugh one night.

Tidbits to Remember:

-She's rolling over like a pro. Front-to-back and back-to-front. 

-If she sees a toy she wants she turns to get it. She's pretty content playing on the floors with a few toys.
-Loves being outside.
-She grabs for everything! 

-This girl is drooling like cray-cray right now! We have a feeling that teeth are just around the corner.

-Hazel goes to bed every night between 8:30- 9:00 p.m. and wakes up between 8:00-9:00 a.m. She seriously is the best sleeper and we are so so grateful! 

-She is still taking two naps a day.

-Last week she had a rough little cough/runny nose but she's back to her happy self. 

-She started taking her binkie and bottle better again (she wasn't taking either for two or so weeks but it must have been because her little nose was so stuffed up!) 

-Finally, she is getting so good at smiling and giggling and it melts our hearts. When Brice walks in the door, I say "daddy's home" and she turns towards him and gives a big cheesy smile!
-If we put her binkie in her hand she can put it in her mouth correctly by herself. Speaking of binkie she's been doing this silly thing and sticking it in her mouth but only on the side and she tries to chew on it with her tongue. It's pretty silly!

Hazel is already four months old!

For the last two weeks I've had a smoothie for breakfast each day! It is my favorite habit ever! There are so many nutrients found in stems, peels, and the skins of so many fruits and vegetables. I usually put 1/4 cup of milk, a spoonful of vanilla yogurt, and then any fruit or veggie I can find or want for the day. Still haven't had a bad one yet! 

Today's was simple and mostly frozen fruit

1/4 cup milk 

spoonful of yogurt

strawberries

peaches

blueberries

1/2 banana
