I'm still amazed that Hazel is 1
I was informed in a babycenter email I receive shortly after her birthday
that she is now a toddler
what!? I thought that didn't come until at least 18 months
oh well, she almost walks and is into everything
and I love every minute of it!
A few updates on Hazel:
-she does a ton of sign language, things like more, eat, drink, bye-bye, attempts the i love you sign, toilet, and all done
-she goes potty in her mini toilet on a regular basis, but we are not really training yet, but she'll often go two or three times a day if we are around home
-she LOVES playing guitar with daddy
-she has gone full swing of not ever letting me hold her to the point where she'll get in moods where she really just wants a good cuddle
-she still will go to other people without much of a problem and hangs out at friends houses regularly
-her hair is long and curly, and i have no idea where that came from. Remember, long is relative, but for a one year old, she has quite a bit of hair!
-she totally adores books and i often find her in her bedroom climbed up on the big arm chair, just flipping through the books
-she has started to dance recently and will wiggle and shake to most any music
I don't think we'd ever given her ice cream before her brownie ice cream pie
she was shocked at first, then loved it!

I love the company Boon, they make her high chair(not pictured as we were in CA) and I just love their designs
I broke down and finally got her the sippy, bowl that sticks to the counter, and fancy utensils that are supposed to help her learn to feed herself
I love her! we have so much fun!
Hazel's favorite spot to run to when she escapes out of our patio door. She loves to show off her stairs skills.
Baby Zellie and mama
Granddaddy Q also came for a little visit and Hazel took a liking to him immediately.
Hazel's favorite spot indoors, she loves to climb up on this bench and play with the hanging keys.

Valentines dinner with fillet mignon and asparagus among other things.
My handsome husband planned the most amazing Valentines date to a fantastic restaurant with live Portuguese music, delicious fondue, and a super cool atmosphere, here we are on the way.
Our Valentines ride. Brandon surprised me with this sweet ride! Here we are dropping Hazel off at our friends house before our date.
Like I said, she loves electronics, she totally passed out playing with my phone one day, so cute!
Hazel and her pal Avannie hanging out in matching dresses.
Our little fam on the coast of Maine.
I don't even know what this is, I think it is food for her toy kitchen. Little Blythe was just so excited about everything.
Charlotte was so delightful and excited all morning, I'm not quite sure what this pouty look is about, but it looks adorable!
Not the best pic of Hazel and me on Christmas morning, but the only one I could find. She was LOVING it! All the people and wonderful wrapping to crinkle!
Please note amelia's footsie PJs as she sits on the mantel. This is all of the sisters, brothers-in-law, and nieces and nephews from the whole Steele family. Man, what a lucky Christmas! I'm so blessed!
