sorry i haven't posted in so long.  i keep thinking of things to post about then don't.  so what's been happening in our life?  not too much really...

hazel is pretty much running.  its hard to even remember her not walking.  the past couple months she is getting allllll her teeth in.  shes only had her top 4 and bottom 2 since I think like 10 months and now canines, incisors, molars, and all are coming in at once!  fun times!  last month she started putting 2 words together and this month has put 3 words together a few times.  well intelligible words... she tells long stories often but i dont understand it all.  shes a talker.  she really likes to talk about poop.  maddie poop (the dogs-she refers to both of them as maddie), daddy poop.  i always wonder if she talks about our little family pooping when shes at daycare and what they think about it.  she names all her friends at daycare.  she just picks up on things i dont even teach her.  before i left for mexico she was singing twinkle twinkle little star.  you cant understand all the words, but its pretty adorable.  when i came back from mexico she was singing abc's... again its mostly just 'A, B, A, B...' to the tune.  its cute.  theres plenty more funny things she says but i wont bore you with my mommy proudness.  she had therapy yesterday.  her therapist feels she is doing well but she really should not have any slip through under her arms and still does quite a bit.  she said long ago that crawling would help strengthen those muscles and she crawled for a long time but apparently it didn't strengthen them enough.  so we will continue working on pulling things down with resistance or apart like we have for the past year.  she also said to continue working on core exercises b/c hazel falls back and hits her head often.  her core isn't strong enough to hold her up when she falls down.  but at least most of her delays aren't noticeable by others.

we are loving that it is warmer out and we can play outside everyday.  tyson runs while i ride my back with hazel on the back.  hazel loves playing with her car, shopping cart, chalk, bubbles, water table, slide, sandbox, and picnic table outside.  and tomorrow hazel is getting her dad a bike for fathers day so we can go bike riding together!

tyson and i still do our monthly date nights.  tonight we are headed to a nice italian restaurant on the hill that we have a gift card to.  luckily hazel goes to bed at 7 every night so we get date nights most nights tysons off.  even if its just popcorn and a movie on the couch.

hopefully i will be better about updating.  i will try to upload some pictures soon!  happy summer everyone!
