Hazel then and now ...

So a long time ago (OK, last February) I had a sweet baby girl.  She was born with all of this precious, fuzzy red hair, like this:


[If you click on the image above, you can see lots more sweet little newborn pictures of Hazel that I never got around to uploding or sharing.  I picked this one for this post because she kind of reminds me of Martin Freeman … or at least what I imagine his baby pictures might look like.]

Then she lost all of her fuzzy red hair and has been mostly bald since then.  But she’s got a lot of charm to make up for what she lacks in hair.



She’s also just broken a family record.  Before now, Luke was our earliest-able baby, getting up onto his hands and knees at 5 months.  Hazel just did him one better.  She can get up on her hands and knees.  But she also enjoys planking.  I’m not kidding.  She can hold her body straight for several seconds with only palms and toes on the floor.  (She’s transitioning between the two positions in the photo below.)  OK, now I really need to start working out.
