All smiles!

Wow! It's been a while since we've posted some new pictures of Hazel (aka "Pumpkin"), so our apologies to all the Hazelnuts out there. The main reason for the lapse in posting is that Mom put together a Shutterfly share site for the multitude of photos we take of Hazel every week. If any of you are interested in getting access to WAY too many photos of Hazel and have hours to sift through them, let me know and I'll send you the link and password.

Hazel just turned 10 weeks last week and is actually like a tiny human now. She can follow you around the room with her eyes, focus on objects more than 12 inches away from her face, and can grasp her hands together, which sounds uneventful but really is a significant milestone in development. Other than that, the only exciting news on our front is a giant blowout to rival all blowouts last week. After not pooing for 5 days, she decided to let loose when Mom and Dad were at lunch. Luckily, Mom was smart enough to have packed back up clothes and lots and lots of wipies!

But this post is dedicated to the many smiling faces of Hazel...now that she's a little older, her smiles are much more frequent and very endearing. It's a good thing she doesn't know that she could ask for anything right now and get it with these faces! And not only does she look adorable, she even makes cute cooing sounds to mimic talking.

This is what happens when my Mom brushes my hair...clearly she's unamused with her Mom's styling.

At the zoo with my Mom and her mommy group. She is loving naps in the Moby lately! Good for baby, but not so good for Mom's back...

And finally, resting with my daddy...
