JaK's Photos

Here are some photos from our dinner at JaK's. It was sooooo delicious and we had a great time.

Birthday Blessings

It's not even noon and I'm already having a fantastic day!

Guess what Hazel got me for my birthday...She went 8 hours between feedings last night! Then another 3 so I could sleep even more. She's so great.

And then when I came up this morning, I was greeted with beautiful flowers and a Starbucks Americano from my wonderful Husband!

The sun is out and it's so gorgeous outside, and I'm getting calls and facebook messages from my loved ones wishing me a happy day! I feel blessed and oh so loved!

Tonight Dan is taking me to Jak's for dinner and I just can't wait! Potato Pancakes here I come! And I'll be able to enjoy my first Cosmo in a YEAR! Happy Day indeed!

Stats and Stories

Hazel is 9 weeks old today. She had her 2 month checkup on Friday and she's in the 50th percentile on weight - 10lbs 15oz, and 75th-90th percentile on height - 23 1/4 inches. She is smiling now and is trying so hard to suck her thumb.

She got to meet Uncle Brian this weekend, which was a special treat. Hopefully in May she'll be able to meet Auntie Kellie.


So if you've met Hazie-Mae you know that she's not a screamer. We've been so blessed to have a pretty mellow, easy going baby. She's only really wailed three times. Once at her 2 week checkup when they were taking her blood, once on Friday at her two month checkup when they gave her 3 shots, and once on Saturday night when I was feeding her while watching Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Jimmy did a dance off with Cameron Diaz and it made me laugh really hard. (If you've heard me laugh, you know it's a bit on the louder side). It must have been quite loud because it spooked Hazel into a complete frenzy. She cried just as hard as when she got her shots the day before and it took me at least 3 minutes to get her to calm back down to finish eating. It was pretty funny; (both Jimmy Fallon and the fact that my laughter terrifies my daughter)!

Week in Review: Good Food

It's been a good week, not to mention delicious. Last Saturday, Valentine's Day, started out with coffee, yogurt parfaits and presents. I got Dan three shirts and he got me Joe's Jeans! Then we headed to Pike Place for a bit, sampling nuts, perusing kitchen stores, and eating Humbow. After coming home for Hazel to eat, we went to Bell Square to eat dinner at Pagliacci Pizza and to drop off our Jeans at Nordstroms to be hemmed. (I had picked up some Joe's for Dan at the rack the day before). It's still shocking to me that we each got the other a pair of jeans that actually fit perfectly (except length).

On Sunday we celebrated Jordyn's third birthday with burgers and cake, and on Monday, President's Day, we had our first Movie Night since Hazel's birth. 17 people came!!! We had pizza and watched Dave, and kicked everyone out by 9:30pm! (We're not quite back to normal sleeping yet).

Pictures not relevant to story, just cute shots of Hazel

On Tuesday night I made Pulled Pork Sandwiches for the first time. Dan loves them, and I have to say I'm quite the fan now as well.


On Wednesday we had dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory to celebrate birthdays in the Roundhill family. mmm...half meat sauce, half Mizithra!


Then on Thursday I attempted the crazy...I when to get my hair done with Hazel! She actually slept the whole time, but it was so nerve-racking before and during! That night, Dan had a sleep study at Harborview and I thought he'd actually get a good night sleep, but it's just never right when you're not in your own bed.


Friday I made Pork Tacos and homemade guacamole, and we washed them down with Gin and tonics! (The crock pot has be come my new favorite thing, just put in a roast, and liquid of sorts, and dinner is done in 4-5 hours).


Then today we walked to the park since it was so sunny and ventured around the lake and to the chocolate shop before heading home. And tonight we'll have Pork Enchilada's with the left over pork from the tacos.


I heart food, Dan, Hazel, and Joe (of Joe's Jeans)!

Question: What kind of Bear is Best?
That's a ridiculous question...
False. Black Bear
Well that's debatable. There are basically two schools of thought.

Quote from The Office

One Month Old

Today Hazel Mae is one month old and on Monday she was 9 lbs! She is doing so well. She's healthy, and easy going, and such a blessing to Dan and I. She sleeps well at night, and has more and more alert time during the days. We get out some, but it's still an adjustment getting used to the feeding schedule (3 hour intervals during the day). I still can't believe I'm a mom. At times if feels so daunting, but it make me even more dependant on God and his daily grace. Here are some pictures over the last two weeks. She's filling out a ton in her cheeks and belly!

Not a good photo, but it shows her cute little smirk

This is why we swaddle at night...those pesky hands!
