7.5 months

This winter in Boston has been the worst by far, in terms of the cold, ice, freezing rain and wind impacting our daily routine. But, after all the days of bundling up and lack of fresh air, i think we might finally be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Until that light gets brighter, we've entertained ourselves by walking in the mall... well, we walk and Hazel gets carried.

7 month!

 We're not actually going to be anywhere close to a warm beach for awhile yet, but it didn't hurt to bust out some of our beach attire that we're inherited from family members. Hazel is growing so fast, that I never know whether something that fits now will fit 2 months or even 2 weeks from now. So, her beach hat fits now (in March), but who knows if we'll be able to use it this summer.

Holding my own bottle

 We had a handful of 'nice' days out in Boston, and by 'nice' i mean above 35 degrees. At this point, anything above 40 feels downright tropical. So, when I get to pick her up and its not freezing out, we take our time going home and sometimes pick up Izzy on the way and go for a walk around the pond. Hazel really enjoys riding in her stroller without the car seat because as you can see, she's a little more propped up and she can see alot more. She kicks her feet and stares at everyone.

Hazel has yet to try a food she doesn't like and yogurt is just one of the new additions to her diet.

Lucy comes to Boston

My friend Lucy from Grinnell came out to Boston on her spring break to meet Miss Hazel. I'll say that we've had a lot of visitors this year and to be honest, I don't think many of them (or ANY) came to see Sean and I.... but whatever, we'll take visitors however we can. As you can see, Hazel loves new people and stares at them pretty much the entire visit.
