My Hazel Nut turned two this St. Patrick's Day! She is the cutest, most rotten little thing I ever did see. She's hilarious, loud, shy, hot-tempered, stubborn, silly, smart, destructive, talkative, cuddly, and oh-so-naughty, and we all love her like crazy.
We had a Peter Rabbit themed party for her (mostly because I had the supplies left over from another project), and it was super cute. All of her grandparents got to be there to celebrate!
Here are the stats:
Height: 2' 8.25" (19th percentile)
Weight: 22 lbs 3 oz (4th percentile)
Yep, another peanut. She is so teeny!
Hazel has long, gorgeous wavy hair (it's 3 or 4 inches longer than any other girl her age I know) and - wait for it- hazel eyes. They're kind of gray and brown... very unique. She has the very best cheeks.
What she's up to:
-Talking up a storm. She speaks in full short sentences, though it can be hard to understand her. She is very polite with pleases and thank yous ;) The thing that impresses me the most is her understanding of "mine" and "yours." Maybe it's just because she's small, but she seems so young to have that kind of grasp on language.
-She loves to harass the cat, who is, blessedly, quite patient with her most of the time.
-Tearing up the house... we have to keep the bathrooms doors shut and litter box blocked off, and if she's not in the room I'll always send one of the other kids to "make sure Hazel's not getting into trouble." She's exhausting!
-She's pretty attached to Mama. She's still shy about strangers and new experiences and situations. She can really cling to me when she wants to.
-Her "lovey" is her bed pillow. She carries it around the house with her even though it's bigger than she is! She grabs onto the fabric of the pillow case and sucks her thumb (a habit we'll soon have to tackle breaking).
-Sleeping in a big-girl bed! She was doing some dangerous acrobatics in her crib, so we did some bed shuffling and moved her to a twin bed. She did great making the transition, thank goodness! Hazel is an excellent sleeper and rarely wakes up in the night. There have been a few nights when she seemed to be having nightmares and I would lay down with her until she fell asleep, but that's not the norm. She also naps once daily for 1-3 hours ish.
What she's into:
-Hazel's favorite things to watch on TV are Boss Baby and The Incredibles 2 ("Jack Jack!"). She wasn't interested in TV until she got to watch through the series, Avatar: The Last Airbender, with Nathan and the other kids. She loved it and snuggled nicely with Daddy every evening they watched it.
-She's not terribly picky, though she's not a big eater (miss 4th percentile). She likes to graze and often helps herself to snacks from the pantry, much to my chagrin. Her favorite food is probably blueberries.
-She loves to play outside.
-Hazel loves babies. Real, on tv, baby dolls, whatever. She also likes animals.
-Milk. This girl should have some strong bones.
-Mostly destroying the house and raging when she doesn't get her way. Let's be honest. :P
My almost-birthday-buddy! Happy birthday to the cutest girl I know!
