Letters for Hazel: One Month

Dear Hazel,

Time has flown by, like everyone said it would. You are already one month old, well technically you were a month last week, but we've been out and about so much I haven't had the chance to write about it. I can't believe how much you have grown over the course of this month, not only in weight, but in what you can do. You are looking all around, following voices, holding your head up, and so much more. You love talking with us, and we love it too! You are losing some of your hair, and we think it is so cute (and slightly funny)!

Your Aunt Hannah and Uncle Tyler came to visit last week, all the way from Kansas City! We had such a great time hanging out with them, Aunt Alison, and Nana and Grandpa for the weekend. We went to the Rhododendron Garden where your Uncle Tyler thought it would be fun to take you off-roading. Aunt Hannah was so good at feeding you your bottles, she did it all weekend! You loved it! Aunt Alison was such a sport and changed most of your diapers that weekend. I don't know how she did it, but you didn't cry once when she was changing you! And of course, Nana and Grandpa held you as much as everyone else would let them!

You also got to meet some of Mommy and Daddy's good friends, Tracy, Tyson, and Kai Smith. They are living in Peru right now, but will be back in a year. Tracy and Kai hung out with us and Jeannie on Thursday night. They loved holding and playing with you. Kai really liked holding your hand and was pretty sure you should be able to play with him! On Saturday we went to a bar-b-que for the Smiths. I think you were held by no less than 8 different women! You are such a good girl and let people hold you and love on you! It was so good to see our friends!
