Ali and Nate are getting married in the morning. It's been so great be here in Vancouver seeing everyone and catching up. We are so happy Cait and Livi can be here. We have got a lot to do today... But first things first. We had to get our nails done.

Isn't she looking so beautiful. She already has the wedding day glow.

oh this face of hers

She is perfect

back to the beach baby

The weather has warmed up and we are back in the beaching mode... sorta... Goldie was over it after about 15 minutes and started walking back up to the boardwalk. We are easing Hazey into it with short little trips. Before this she had only been to the beach one time before, I think, with her Grammy Hyde when she was just a few days old.

Sweet beach faces, Hazel... you have a cute face and a perfect profile

John is such a good dad. he is so good with the babies. Goldie loves her dad and it's no wonder.

our little family of four

egg dying is not for 2 year olds

over rated... doesn't quite work when holding a baby and trying not to stain everything in reach.  The little girls did get to finish one egg each and they carried it around the rest of the night in their tea cups.

Easter Egg Hunt

Easter Morning we went to the Haught's house for some amazing stuffed french toast and an Easter Egg hunt. This year was low key... we usually have hundreds of eggs and dozens of cousins searching for them frantically. There's usually tears and trading, stealing and stashing.... this Easter there was none of that. It was fun to have the kids slowly search for the most obviously placed eggs but I missed the competition and mayhem that ensues when the gates are open for the Easter egg hunt at my dad's with the whole Munns Crowd.

basket ready... she's looking excited (psych)

once again... she can barely contain herself... meanwhile Kate is looking like an Easter Dream Come True with her white gloves.

this kid knew just what to do!

The little girls got the hang of it and Goldie ended up loving it!

Hazel is 6 months

I cant believe my teeny one is 6 months already. She is such a sweet little girl. We love her so much. She couldn't be a better baby.

how 'bout those teeth!

 

 a little photo documenting on her 6 month birthday! We are so grateful for this adorable baby.

Happy 6 months!

 Goldie was out of there when the camera came out!

a tooth and an update

I can't believe that my baby is almost 6 months old. It has gone so fast already. We are loving our little hazelnut so much. She is adored my her big sister Goldie. She always has a smile for any lucky person that talks to her.  She is so so smiley.  I love it in the morning when she so politely lets me know she is awake and ready for her mama... she starts to stir and makes cute little peeps. as soon as I lift my head enough to see in her little bed she smiles so big. I love to scoop her up and snuggle and kiss and pat my little Hazel. She loves it when I pat on her tummy and poke at her little chest. Goldie was not much of a laughing baby and Hazel isn't too giggly either, especially compared to little Lottie who laughs and laughs and laughs... but I know just how to get my little Hazel to grace us with her perfectly sweet laugh. Oh yes and she is working on a little tooth in the gummy grin of hers... I just spotted it tonight. Oh I love this face.

Goldie Goldie Goldie. She is something else, that girl. She is living up to her name that I often called her when she was a screaming darling little baby, that I loved so much... my horrible adorable.  She is such a smart little thing.  She is constantly surprising her dad and me with the things she says and does. Goldie is a chatty little squirrel.... she is always telling me how things are "much better"... I change her diaper "oh Mom, that's much better" I lay a blanket over her while she's watching a show "That's much better".... i refill her sippy cup "thank you mom, that's much better". Another adorable thing she says is  NO...to everything... not so adorable.  It is an automatic... even when I KNOW she wants it or she has asked for it. So we have introduced "no thank you" into our vocabulary. It's amazing how much more bearable it is to hear "no thank you" even if it is said 17 times by my child that has morphed in to a gremlin.  G loves all things small (and they always have to have a mommy and daddy... rocks, dolls, turtles, leaves... you name it) She loves princesses and shoes (that she often calls her glass slippers) She is always playing pretend.  She and her dad have had many a tea parties in the front room... my favorite thing is when she is pretending there is some sort of crisis for example, her doll has her hand stuck between the wall and her toy chest or her puppy is slipping and need me to grab its paw.  One thing is for sure. Goldie Loves her Daddy. today when John was leaving for work Goldie called to him as he was leaving, "daddy, dont go... I'm going to miss you" We love that Girl. 

the babies

We are so used to calling Goldie and Kate "the babies" around here but I think it's official that they have graduated to "the girls." It has been so fun to see Kate and Goldie become such good friends. They Love each other. (and Austin too) Goldie, since she was able to say her name, has on most mornings, asked first thing for Kitty, or cousins. She loves her "family" as she calls them. As a matter of fact last week she woke up in the middle of the night crying out for Austin. I went in to see what was up and she indeed wanted "Fussy". The very next night the same thing happened only she was calling out for Kitty. And who knew a 2 year old paid so much attention while in the car. She knows when we are almost to Aunt Vanessa's and Decky's house and if we don't turn in to their neighborhood she is beside herself. The Girl loves her family.

I bet Hazey will be the same way... she's off to a great start with her pal Charlotte.

our happy little babes

my hazey haze

my darling little Hazel.  you are my sweetest pea. you're happiest when in my arms. and thats ok with me.

Chicken lover

We stopped at our friends the Melicks and saw their new chickies or "birdies" as Goldie would say. She was in heaven with this little birdie. There were kisses and pats and lots of high pitched talking going on. She loved that bird.

And there is this kid. Could he be any cuter? I don't think so.
