Yes, an upate with pictures.

We knew the day was coming, but we didn't think it would be so soon. Hazel official designation has been made:

Okay, true story: Hazel and Geoff, and Zoey and Jayson, went to the dinosaur park in Ogden and had a fabulous time. In fact, Hazel and I were discussing what she wanted to do tomorrow (Geoff's day off) and she said, "Dino Park!" But with more capitals and exclamation points.

We (Geoff) washed the couch cover today and Hazel realized that the cushions were movable (i.e. REmovable) and she is able to play in, around and under them. Hooray for couch cushions!

An outfit from a few days (weeks, maybe) ago. Shauntil brought over a load of Tay clothes (thanks, Shauntil, my child would be far less dressed without you). At first Hazel was all "eh." But then she woke up* and was like, "MERMAID JAMMIES!!" Yes, Hazel now owns mermaid jammies, which she loves almost as much as the cow shirt. Here she is seen modeling the lovely ensemble, which she has accessorized with a swimsuit. She slept in this exact outfit. The next day (or there abouts), I told her she had to get dressed or she couldn't come out of her room. She came out in only a swimsuit (and a diaper, thankfully) and I said, "Hazel, really? A swimsuit?" To which she replied, "Swimsuit or jammies, mommy pick." Thus, she wore a swimsuit most of the day.
*Actually, it was like four hours later when I asked her what she wanted to wear to bed.

PS, Blogger spellcheck does not agree with my spelling of "jammies". Stupid Blogger spellcheck, I don't agree with YOUR spelling of jammies.
