Entries categorized as ‘Daily Hazel’
Every sweet little girl needs a pretty, pink tu-tu for her first birthday party so that she can feel like a pretty, pretty princess…and every sweet baby girl with hard-core white trash roots needs to don JUST the pretty, pink tu-tu because that is how she rolls.
One day before her first birthday, Hazel celebrated her milestone surrounded by lots of friends and family today. She scored some great new toys, books and, of course, many more pretty, pretty outfits for a cute, little toddler girl. As of tomorrow she won’t be a baby anymore but a toddler. At this rate if she keeps on growing this crazy-fast I’ll be writing about her high school graduation in a couple of weeks. Slow down, little girl! let your Gma, mama and the rest of this circus act enjoy and savor this stage a little.

Just look at her and drink in her deliciousness. Those amazing, thick, long eyelashes! That strawberry-kissed blonde hair of hers! That delicious pink, chubby, long body of hers! Her sweet, husky voice that is vocalizing a daily rapidly expanding vocabulary! She is the most delicious, delightful grand daughter ever…I challenge any and all grandmoms on that one. It’s hard to believe that exactly one year ago her mama was walking the floor and the neighborhood just trying to coax this girl out into the big, bad, bold world that she has without a doubt claimed as her own. But here we are, one year later and look at her!
Hazel is taking a quick break fueling up in anticipation of her big birthday bash today at “Grandma Dannie’s” house. “Grandma Dannie is actually 22 years old…22 going on 55 which would make her older than me!
Hey, if you aren’t doing anything today come join us at “Grandma Dannie’s” for the par=tay. There will be cake for Hazel to tear up, cake for us, a kiddie pool and a jumpy thing. Doncha just love 1st birthday parties? I do. I’m looking forward to (and hoping to get some great cake-all-over-the-face pictures) Hazel tearing up and killing that birthday cake of hers.
Whoo-hoo! Par-Tay!

Come Monday it will be a year since Hazel first came to join our family circus.
OMG, a year has gone by! Look at her now!
I have to admit here that I was absolutely furious with Holly that she “allowed” her darling daughter to grow while I was in the hospital in isolation and not allowed to see her. I mean, how could she?!
Now that we are getting ready to celebrate the grandgirl’s first birthday I’m not sure how much longer I will continue The Daily Hazel feature. Don’t worry, it’s not like I won’t blog about her or post so many cute grandgirl pictures that someone might comment, “Good God put away the pictures of the grandchild, woman!” I’m just thinking that as she gets ready to kiss infancy goodbye it will be time to move on. But before I decide for certain (I have been know to change my mind on occasion) I invite you to share with me your favorite Daily Hazel. Yeah, it might take awhile to go through the 170 entries before this one but I know you’ll love spending the time watching this girl grow and change so fast over the course of a year.

A little tweak here, a little tweak there…here a tweak, there a tweak, everywhere a tweak-tweak…
Just a little photoshop magic and it is easy to see that Miss Hazey-Face is not so overexposed after all.
Can you believe that this girl is going to be ONE in NINETEEN freakin’ days?! Well, she is! She sure has grown and changed a lot.

Overexposed?!
Hazel?!?!
Here???
Perhaps Hazel does get a lot of attention here but it is all with her mama’s blessing.
I took this picture of the girls the other day and althopugh I had the settings perfect, it still ended up like this. Definitely overexposed and yet, I like how it looks. I swear these girls can NOT take a bad picture. Of course I am jealous.

Just past the family room with all of her toys and the ginormous tv that she isn’t allowed to touch, beyond the food pantry that everyone shoos her out of, far away from the kitchen that suddenly is baby-proofed, even further past her Gma’s sitting room full of things that are known as “No-no-Hazel” and just on the other side of the front screen door is what she imagines is an amazing world full of delightful, exciting things for her to discover and explore.
Her instincts are correct.
I love this delicious, delightful, exhilarating, exhausting stage in a baby’s development. Don’t you?

Can you believe it? Hazel is 11 months old today! Well she is. Everyday is an amazing day filled with discovery for my grand girl and I consider it a privilege to be a witness to her amazing adventures and new discoveries…like the day she discovered where she got that crazy long tongue of hers from…she got it from her mama!

And so the great family tradition that spans generations goes on…the tradition of capturing forever on film, er digitally, the end…literally. But OMG it is such a cute little tushie!
As Hazel is actively mobile here under the Big Top, she has lost some of her extra baby rolls and chubs but she still remains a “big” baby in comparison to my own babies. She is extremely active taking off any chance she can get to explore this Big Top she calls home. She has discovered, much to her delight and her mama’s frustration, that diaper changing time is the very very best time to take off and take off she does.

I wasn’t kidding when I said that Hazel regarded her bulb syringe and saline drops as tools of the devil’s torture. Every chance she gets she tries to hide them. Hazel isn’t the only one sick here under the Big Top, but since the Daily Hazel is all about Hazel, this is her post on Gma’s blog and her’s alone. Sweet baby girl has been miserable with her first cold and now has a raging ear infection (again her first ever). Hopefully she will be back to her charming and significantly less slimy self in the next day or so.
