As the weather has gotten warmer and daylight savings time gives us another hour of sunshine, we've been going outside and introducing Hazel to new activities. We live really close to the Franklin Park zoo so we became members and now we can go anytime we want, typically for only an hour or so, but Hazel does enjoy looking at animals and looking at other kids.
Hazel has also gone from crawling to pulling up on everything overnight. Everytime I turn around, she's climbing up on something else, our bed, the coffeetable, her crib, the chairs, the laundry, etc. She never stops moving, but *fingers crossed* it seems to tire her out a little bit too so she's been a pretty good sleeper too.
He took a 24-hour vacation to Falmouth, MA which is part of Cape Cod. It was short, but a much needed break from Boston. We spent the night in a hotel which had a swimming pool, so we took our chances with Hazel (without a swimming diaper) and let her experience the pool. We also put her toes in the sand and the ocean. She wasn't sure what to do about the stuff between her toes and the ocean was a little too cold for her.
She's also getting pretty good at sitting in the big girl high-chair at restaurants. She's getting equally good at grabbing our plates if we leave them unguarded for just a second.
