Snapshot #342: Daddy Loves Me



August 31, 2011.  San Jose, California.  Last night Hazel was so cute in her little jumper all ready for bed.  When she wants her binky and she knows that it is close by, she shakes her head quickly back and forth until she latches on.  It's cute.  Oh yeah, if you look closely at this photo you can start to see a ring of light blue forming around the iris of her eye.  It's slowly expanding.  She will have beautiful blue eyes soon.

Snapshot #339: She Sees


August 28, 2011.  San Jose, California.  We love our little Hazel Bug.  The most humbling realization is that she is here for keeps...now and always...every day for the rest of our lives she will be a part of it.  That's a powerful feeling.

Snapshot #338: She Cries


August 27, 2011.  San Jose, California.  Here's to hoping this is the last time we will be moving in a LONG time!  Boxes everywhere...house in disarray...it always gets worse before it gets better.  Oh yeah, and our darling baby is three weeks...the doctors say this is when the crying really begins.

August 23, 2011.  San Jose, California.  A momentous change of pace for the Woods today.  Dave started his new job with Cisco and I am embarking upon a life of domesticity.  We couldn't be happier with the dramatic turns our lives have taken to get us here.

Snapshot #331: The Way to San Jose



August 19, 2011.  San Jose, California.  I am happy to report that we have arrived safely at our new home in the San Jose area.  We got some good photos when we stopped at the salt flats just outside of Wendover, Nevada.  It took 16 hours driving time (including stops) over the course of two days.  I couldn't be happier to be here.  Dave snapped this photo of our adorable Hazel.  Thankfully, she mostly slept between feedings.  Toward the end however, she was ready to be out of her car seat.

Snapshot #328: Red Hair?


August 16, 2011.  American Fork, UT.  After moving out of our apartment today we chilled in a park for a few hours before a dinner appointment.  When the light hits Hazel just right, there's more than a little strawberry in that blonde of hers.

Snapshot #322: Hazel at One Week



August 11, 2011.  Orem, Utah.  Dave commemorated Hazel's week mark by looking up songs on iTunes that have "Hazel" in them.  We were not overly impressed.  I guess he'll just have to write her a song.
