letter to my daughters.

Dear Hazel,
You are such a little chatterbox these days.  I just love how much you are communicating and the words you come up with, just amaze me.  You will tell your Daddy and me how "delicious" your food is or mention all the kids you play with by name and many times their Mommy's name too.  You are definitely strong willed and have very specific likes and dislikes these days.

Some of your favorite things this month are...
Applesauce
"Baby Doll"
Building doggy houses with wooden blocks
Slides
Ponytails
Playing with friends
Pancakes
Being outside
Fruit Snacks
Puzzles, puzzles and more puzzles

I continue to be so proud of you and feel blessed every day we get to spend together. 

Baby Bug,
You are growing so fast and we are so very anxious to meet you.  Your Daddy and I are having a hard time coming up with the perfect name for you but I promise we will have one soon.  Keep growing strong, healthy, and peacefully.

Much love to my girls,
Mommy

"look mommy a slide"

How often we forget how lucky we are to have met such amazing friends since our big move.  Hazel has been so fortunate to grow up with the best little buddies.  We spent the afternoon with with them taking a walk and a very well deserved stop at the park!
