March-April
Hazel at 3-4 months.
We are starting to see her eyes open more, but she still loves to
sleep. She is such a happy and
content baby. She loves to smile
and is starting to laugh and interact with her brothers. Her eyes are always so big, alert and
bright, my nickname as a baby/little girl was “bright eyes”. Maybe she will get at least one thing
from me. Everyone is already
saying “looks like we’ve got another Jamie.” She does look just like the boys as babies, except she has a
bow on of course. I took pictures
of all three of them on the same blanket and only a diaper and even Jamie and I
can’t tell who is who 100% of the time. She likes tummy time, and batting the
toys on her play mat. She rolled
over for the first time super early, 2 months, but it was kind of an
accident. Cruz and I were playing with
legos and she was on a blanket next to us. All of a sudden she pushed up and flipped over from tummy to
back. Cruz was so excited, jumping
up and down and celebrating. Then
trying to get her to do it for Cy and daddy later. She really started rolling at 3 months and now at 4 months
we can’t keep her on a blanket.
She just rolls to wherever she need to get.
She likes to sit at the table in her highchair when we eat,
and inevitably is hungry whenever mommy wants to sit down and eat. She likes her swing and sits in her
bumbo for short spans, like when we are playing a board game on the floor. Cruz likes her to be right with us,
involved all the time. She loves
to sleep in her bed. From the time
we brought her home in her hospital she has preferred her crib over the
bassinet in our room. She
has quite a few nicknames- Daisy, Hazie, Duck (Daisy Duck shortened to
Duck) Duncan (derived from Duck)
Punkin, Missy Kate,
The boys are playing baseball right now- Machine pitch! Both are doing really well but all of a
sudden it looks like Cy is going to be our little athlete! He can sure crank that bat and knock it
out of the park- especially when we pitch to him. The machine pitch is so fast its pretty hard to hit- but
they have both gotten a few hits at games. Just the other day on the way to a game with Cruz I was
talking to him about trying to get some outs when he is fielding. He said he didn’t want to because kids
like to run the bases, not have to walk back out to the bench. I had to explain to him, its like a
race and if he gets to the base with the ball first he wins! And he got an out at first! He was so proud!
Cy is also LOVING basketball. He wants that to be his next sport. They are allowed to pick one per
season. We got a adjustable Goal
and we all have been playing a lot, but Cy is constantly shooting hoops! We have been writing his site words on
the driveway all around the court, and playing “around the words” instead of
around the world. He got through
his last 3 site word lists so quickly!
We are so thankful for our neighborhood and the kids right
around our house. There is always
someone to play with. Either
knocking on our door, or running around in the woods you can find someone! Cara, Alle, Ben, Holten, Landry, LuLu,
Wyatt, Trent, and Brodie are so fun to have around. All the parents take turns giving each other breaks and
having all the kids over to play.
We have also been going to the creeks and exploring now that
it is finally starting to warm up.
We find crawfish, toads, little fish- that we cant catch, and lots of
cool things! Clay war paint is
cruzie’s favorite- and mommy’s too! Hazel has been down to the creek several
times in my sling! She loves it-
so many things to see! She also
has been on a few hikes in Fort Mitchell in that sling. She is a real adventure girl, and loves
being outside! We take several
walks a week- the boys ride bikes and the girls try to keep up with the
stroller.
Hazel’s 2nd plane ride was to Florida for Spring
Break. We had a great time with
friends and family relaxing at the beach and pool. We even got to go to LegoLand with Mamaw and Papaw. Unfortunately, it was FREEZING when we
got back to KY.
