Snapshot #556: Bath Time


April 30, 2012.  San Jose, California.  Hazel has graduated to the big person bathtub.  And...she loves it!  hahahaha (actually she really does enjoy bath time, but today she got frustrated because I wouldn't let her stand up in the tub...too dangerous.)

April 26, 2012.  San Jose, California.  The older Hazel gets the more scared of the lawn mower she becomes.  I guess that's a good thing.

Snapshot #544: Red Hat




April 16, 2012.  San Jose, California.  Hazel looked so darling yesterday at church in her red hat...but it is nearly impossible to get a picture of her any more because she won't stay still for even a second!  (hence all the videos you've been getting lately instead)

Exploring California: Snapshot #537: Mount Tamalpais


 




April 7, 2012.  Mill Valley, California.  We braved the crowded roads this holiday weekend looking for a mountain retreat just north of San Francisco and ended up on the top of Mount Tamalpais.  The views of San Francisco and the bay were spectacular...AND it was one of those rare days without fog.  Look close, you can see the skyscrapers of San Fran in two of these photos.

Snapshot #535: Crawling Together


April 5, 2012.  San Jose, California.  Early this morning Hazel was crawling across the floor when Dave decided he would shadow her.  She giggled and giggled whenever she took a step and he mimicked her.  He's an incredible Dad.

Snapshot #534: Cruising


April 4, 2012.  San Jose, California.  Hazel turns 8 Months today.  Can you believe she's already pulling herself up and starting to cruise around her crib?  It's making for more action-packed nap times, that's for sure.

Snapshot #533: Easter Egg Hunt

Snapshot #532: Before & After



April 2, 2012.  San Jose, California.  I still need to varnish (hence the blue tape) oh yeah and sand, tape, prime, paint, stain the other three chairs--but they've been too much work not to deserve a post today. They're going to take another couple weeks (at least) to finish (I can really only work during Baby's nap times) yet I couldn't wait that long to share!   I am infatuated with the added splash of color in the house.
