Hazel at a Year

While we were in Utah we had a birthday party for Hazel with family. It was a blast and of course Hazel had fun. Her favorite present was a free balloon that my Aunt Holly got at the dry cleaners and attached to her gift haha. She went wild with that thing.

After presents we had cake. Naturally Hazel loved it and made a huge mess. When she was done she sat with her hands behind her head like an old man:)
On her actual birthday we took her to the zoo and she got more cake:) You may not care, but here's a what Hazel's doing now...
- She says "bye-bye" in a funny, dreamy voice anytime someone leaves the room or puts on their shoes
- She waves hello, points to items she wants, laughs/claps when she hears other people laughing/clapping
- She is imitating everything. This morning I was coughing and she did a cute fake cough too:)
- She's starting to sign dog while saying "doggie" She still signs milk all the time but now it means a variety of things mostly that she's hungry.
- She will randomly give us hugs:)
- She is not afraid of anything! Yesterday she went on a spinny kid ride all by herself and LOVED it!
She has grown up so fast we cannot believe it. She is an amazing girl with lots of spirit. Mike swears her personality is exactly like mine. We are so blessed to have her in our family!
