Nana and Grandpa Jeno Visit Cont.

Despite being in 100s earlier this week, we all managed to stay cool and have a good time. Hazel had a bit of a hard time adjusting to the hot weather cause mom and dad don't have AC - its Santa Barbara afterall. Tonight they are predicting rain so we're gonna be nice and cozy. Here are a few shots of the past week...sorry for the delay all you Hazelnuts.

Visit with Nana and Grandpa

This week Hazel's grandparents are visiting from Minnesota and we have been taking advantage of the extra help while they are here. Hazel loves hanging out with her Nana and Grandpa--she's having the best time going on outings, like to the beach (that's Hazel in the little bump on momma):

Or shopping downtown:

I heart my Dad

Family visits!

Hi Everyone--sorry we've been so bad about posting new pictures this week. Life is gotten a little hectic! We had a great visit from our Greek Grandma (yiayia) this week--she spoiled me with lots of kisses, hugs and singing plus a good lesson in Greek words. I can't wait to learn more as I get older! I already love my yiayia a ton and she promised me that she would come back to visit me with Papu sometime in October when he has more time off from work. And this weekend my Nana and Grandpa are coming to visit me--I'm so excited!

My yiayia and me.

This week has been pretty eventful--I went to the doctors on Thursday and learned that I've grown over a pound and a half the last two weeks! I'm just about 9 lbs now. The doctor says my height and weight are in the 50the percentile, so I'm exactly average! My mom is happy because that means all the time we spend breastfeeding is paying off. On the flip side, I have officially gotten my first case of "baby acne" but my mom says it is only temporary.

Outside on the balcony enjoying some really good Santa Barbara weather.

Chillin' in my bouncy chair--I really love the mornings when I hang out while my mom eats breakfast.

All snuggled up after bath time!

Just me looking cute again.

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!
