Hazel's been growing like a weed. I took the below pictures back in November. Since then her hair's grown much and her naughtiness is on full display. Her fondness of books has escalated and this makes me so glad to see. She's such a delight.
Hazel has figured out the dinner routine as well. She sings with us with a sweet effort. None of the words she sings make any sense but she's trying. She's mastered her toast and heartily exclaims, "Cheers!" when it's time. She folds her little hands together in anticipation of prayers and tries to close her eyes. It's hard for me to not peek at her while I'm praying and take joy in her little eyelids fluttering open and close.
We love Hazel. She's a delight and miracle to us; as each baby has been. I told her I had a baby in my belly just to see what she'd do. She pointed to her own belly button and qucikly ran off to grab, Sandy, her bitty baby. So sweet.
