I don't want to forget...

Hazel,
Just a few of this things I want to remember from right now...
  • The way you smack your lips together to tell us you are going to give us kisses.  
  • How you look up in the sky and to the side when you do give us kisses.
  • The way, when I rock you before bed, you "pet" me with your left arm under mine. 
  • How you, out of nowhere, started playing peek-a-boo with us in the car with your blanket. 
  • Your new favorite activity...dancing. You stand at your activity table and rock away to the music, and then of course look around to make sure someone is watching you.You bob your head up and down and shake your tush!
  • How you cuddle your head on my shoulder while I hold you.
  • Your endless fear. You almost crawled down the stairs today!
  • How you rub your eyes and twirl your hair when you are sleepy.
  • You can feed yourself a bottle if you are lying down or sitting in your carseat
  • How you pull yourself up on any piece of furniture, or really just anything at all (including Henry).
  • How you got your first goose egg on your head when you dove out of your wagon to get a toy while a bunch of adults were standing just out of reach.
  • How you love drinking out of big girl cups. Aunt Hannah let you drink water out of her cup a bunch today and you ended up getting Aunt Alison all wet (you were sitting on her lap)!
  • How big your smile is when Daddy puts you on his shoulders. You grab his hair and giggle!
  • Your new fascination with patting your own mouth so your voice makes funny "oh-woh-woh-woh" noises. Apparently you don't need Mommy to pat for you!
Most of all I won't ever forget how much you make us smile. You bring us so much joy baby girl.

We love you so,
Mommy and Daddy
