Flying Solo

This week dad had to go back to work, so mom and Hazel were flying solo. But baby Hazel has been most accommodating--she'll even chill out in the morning so that mom can take a quick shower and eat breakfast. Today, we went to our first PEP meeting, which is a support group for new moms and their babies. We're hoping to meet some new friends with babies the same age so that we can do playdates when I get older.

I have my mom's curly hair...

Mom also took advantage of some decent sleep last night (Hazel slept for 3-4 hours at a time!) and went for her first post-partum run today. It felt amazing to be back out running and enjoying the beautiful Santa Barbara weather.

Hazel also had a few visitors this week, including mom's friends from work and our buddy Emilia, who brought mom a giant cupcake, which made her very happy. We also Skyped with Hazel's aunt Ai, Uncle Mark and cousins Saya and Rubi. She's super excited to meet them one day soon!

Dad has been coming home during lunch to visit Hazel because he misses her so much during the day. You can't really blame him when I look this cute:

No more pictures, please!
