Hazel update

Hazel always has the funniest things to say.

Hazel was sitting at the table eating breakfast with Brendan, and I heard her ask, "What's wrong with your hair Dad?"  I think Brendan asked what and Hazel said, "You look disgusting."  I went in the room and saw that Brendan had some hair sticking out on the side of his head. 

Growing up, we would ask our parents for money, but Hazel is asking for our debit cards.  She gets into our wallets and takes them, and we will find her playing house using it.  She will tell Brendan he can buy something from her for $300. 

Hazel LOVES to sing.  At Christmas time she would sing full Christmas songs.  We would randomly hear her singing God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman.  When we were driving in the car one day singing songs with her, Brendan and I sang the wrong words, and she was sure to correct us.  We were singing the Farmer in the Dell and when we got to the mouse we said the mouse takes the flea.  Hazel said, "No, the mouse doesn't take the flea, the mouse takes the cheese."

Hattie got some shots for the first time the other day and Brendan watched Hazel while we were gone.  When we came back and Hazel saw the cute band-aids on Hattie's legs she wanted some shots too.  She asked if she could come with us next time to get her own shots and band-aids even after I explained that they hurt.  It reminded me of the story Madeline.

Hazel knows how to work the iphone quite well.  We have to watch her carefully if she takes it to play a game.  She knows how to get into youtube and watch clips of snow white and lots of other things.  One day I saw her watching the Charlie bit me video and I asked Brendan if he put that on for her.  He said she must have put it on herself because it was a top played video.  She watched it a few times.  Later in the day, I was sitting with Hattie in my lap at the computer and I noticed Hazel had her finger in Hattie's mouth and I was disgusted and told her to get it out.  Hazel responded, "Hattie bit me."  I then realized she was trying to imitate the Charlie video from earlier, but of course Hattie doesn't even have teeth yet.

Hazel likes to play hid and seek but calls it hide and sink.  She also likes to play soccer, and when she scores she says GOLD!  I tried to correct her with goal and she told me that Dad says gold.

Hazel caught red handed with my lip gloss.  One day I told her not to get into my make up without me helping her, and I found her with it.  Later that day she was by my drawers in the bathroom and I went in to blow dry my hair and Hazel said, "Mom can you blow dry your hair in the kitchen?  Oh, and you look pretty."  I of course knew she was just wanted to get in my make up without me seeing, and she had to kiss up by saying I looked pretty.  Kids are sneaky and smart.

Hazel's three babies.  The one in the front is Hattie, the cabbage patch is Gabriella (I don't know where she came up with that long name), and the one with the hat, well her name is always changing.  Hazel is always using Hattie's toys for her babies.  Hattie will be in her jumper and Hazel will say that Hattie has a few more minutes and then it's her babies turn.

I took this picture and gave it to both our parents for Christmas.

oh I love the Christmas present for the grandparents! What a super cure idea. I want to copy that idea and do it for all of my family next year.

Of course I will hire you to do the photo shoot!
