Mother's Day 2011

I feel so blessed. I love my babies. This Mother's Day weekend was great! We hung out by the blow up pool on Saturday and just chilled. It was so nice...just like old times! Ryan and I have been drinking our fair share of Beer Punch. It is so refreshing!
On Sunday morning I got up bright and early at 6:30 because Miss Hazel was ready to party. Ryan slept right through it. Hagen woke up at 7:00 and wasn't feeling well (Strep) and Ryan slept through that too. I wanted to strangle someone. BUT I didn't because I was going to have a day at the spa! Before I left Hagen and Hazel performed a mother's day song for me. Sung to the tune of Happy Birthday it was Happy Mother's Day. So cute...Hagen on the guitar and Hazel on the drums. I loved it!!

At the spa I had a Massage, a facial, and a pedicure. It was fabulous. I'll be honest, I was sick and tired of hearing "sun damage" and "sun worshiper" during my facial. I like the sun. I may pay for it later, but for now I'm enjoying it.

Dinner was prepared by the Mr. Wingstop and an ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins complete with 2 candles...one for me and one for Hagen.

Now with all the celebrating, no laundry got done so the babes are sleeping in whatever I can find. Ryan is out of under ware which in my defence if I was grabbing my last pair I would probably throw a load in the washer. But no...he just told me a couple of nights ago that he was out...and stared at me...and I said, "well you sent me to the spa".

The only reason I posted the pic of me and Hazel in the baby pool is to document my large boobies...I swear that is the only reason I am breastfeeding.

Hazel did FABULOUS at her blood draw yesterday! Didn't even flinch when they stuck her arm and took a HUGE vial of blood! Atta girl!

Hazel is 6 months old!

Yes, it's true...she is 6 months old!! :( She is growing up so quickly! We are past the crazy marathon feedings at night and she is sleeping 12 hours and getting up once to eat...not bad! She only naps 3 times a day for about 20 minutes. Girl likes to party!!
Her favorite toy by far is a squeaky toy giraffe named "Sophie"...she loves it! She has started eating veggies (Carrots, Green Beans, and now Squash) and LOVES eating baby rice crackers. I think she is going to cruise through baby food and want to feed herself pretty quick!

Her favorite person is Hagen...she just LOVES him! He is so good with her too which is great.

She is going to have some allergy testing for food allergies. She gets a little rash around her mouth and since I am having to supplement 2-4 ounces of formula a day it could be because of that. So she will have to have a blood draw...that doesn't sound fun for anyone involved AT.ALL. Ryan had a milk allergy so hopefully she won't get that from him!

Her stats:

Weight: 13 pounds 8 ounces (10%)

Length: 26" (50-75%)

Head Cir: 16 1/2" (25-50%)

She will be a little petite thing...like her brother!

Hazel has been enjoying sitting up by herself, sitting in the bath and splashing, starting to babble, loves listening to Metalica lullaby music, and is miss grabby...if you walk by something she lunges to reach for it and grab it...paper is a favorite.

That's all on our little sweet Hazel Grace! In a few weeks I will have a big 4 year old report...:((((

Tata,

Carrie
