Hazel ~4 Months

azel is 4 months old today. I did these pictures of her yesterday. I have loved this hat and flower since she was born and they might be a little too big still but I just can't wait any longer to have her wear them. I was comparing her to Cannon's four month pictures and they are starting to look different. Cannon definitely looks like his daddy. Hazel looks a little more like me. There are a few things that I don't want to forget about her at this age. Feel free to skip over this part since it's mostly for me.

The other day, Jarom and I decided to go to the temple. I left her for the first time with my parents. We were gone about 2 hours when we arrived back at my parents to pick them both up. My sister, Haley, was holding Hazel and when she (Hazel, not Haley) saw me walk into the kitchen her little legs started kicking and she started hyperventilating. When I grabbed her she stopped and gave a quiet little squeal. I melted. Cannon has always been extremely independent. The few times we have left him with a sitter, he's been oblivious to the fact that we are gone. This little display from Hazel just made me feel happy that she seems to like me. It's nice to have one that appreciates me being around for a change. She's definitely my girl.

Here are some things she is doing:

• Grabs for objects (toys, shiny objects)
• Takes 2 naps during the day
• Coos at any interested companion
• Blows bubbles
• Loves baths
• Loves Cannon
• Laughs when she is tickled
• Wears size 3-6 month clothing
• Plays with Mommy's hair
• Sits propped against couch cushions
• Wants to be held constantly
• Likes to take walks
• Doesn't scream during tummy time

I just love this little girl. She is still struggling with eczema. It seems that dairy is not the culprit so we're still being extra careful with other allergens. Her face and head have been much more clear the past week. Other than that, she is thriving and has managed to wrap us all around her little finger. That's our Hazie girl.
