Week 6 - October 30 - November 5, 2011

I feel like I have said it before, but Week 6 was a BIG week, or at least a busy week. We started out the week with a lazy day around the house with Josh, Lora, Kristen, Heidi and Zach. We drank mimosas/beer, watched football by the fire and ate left overs from Josh and Lora's Halloween Party.

October 30, 2011 - Kristen and Jackson and Hazel


Then Monday was Halloween. We had a pretty leisurely day. Grandma and Granddaddy Jordan came over for dinner and we had some special trick-or-treaters!

Saturday was the 4th (or is it 5th) annual Hart/Augustine Family Smackdown. We had 43 people this year, a huge crowd! It was wonderful to get to spend time with so many family and friends! And we got to meet Erika's parents, Bob and Joanne. A great time was had by all. And in case you are wondering, Karen and Mike won with some delicious balklava.

Week 5 started with a leisurely morning. Hazel and I slept in while Rob and Sam went duck hunting. We met at Karen and Mike's for brunch. Hazel spent most of brunch sleeping on Grampa Mike!

Monday night is our standing date with Ken and Sherry. And of course, we had our weekly weigh in......Hazel now weighs 8 pounds, 8 ounces! It seems like she is getting bigger every day! Grandaddy Jordan got lots of snuggle time!

Tuesday was a big day! Happy 1 month birthday to Hazel Grace!!!!

Hazel played in her "garden" play gym and absolutely loved it! I took a video too. I was amazed at the stuffed carrots ability to hold her attention. She also really likes the sunshine (it doubles as a mirror), the honey bee (it plays music and lights up), and the snail (it is a soft rattle that I can wrap around her hand and she can actually shake it).

Tuesday, October 25, 2011

Tuesday, October 25, 2011 - Tummy time!

Tuesday, October 25, 2011 - After all of that playing, Hazel needed a nap!

Wednesday, October 26, 2011 - More sleeping!

Thursday brought another round of visitors! Cousin Jessica came to visit in the afternoon and we (Jess, Hazel and me) went for a nice walk! Amber, my co-worker came by after work (sorry! no photos!) and Nate brought over an amazing home-made ravioli dinner. It was a full day! 


Thursday, October 27, 2011 - Sleeping after our walk. The fresh air tires Miss Hazel out!

Thursday, October 27, 2011

Friday we went shopping with Grandma Jordan. It was a big day! The drive to Kohl's was wonderful. My mom sat in the back seat with Hazel and they played together the whole drive, but Hazel did not like Kohl's at first! I spent a good five minutes trying to find an empty dressing room so she could nurse. After nursing and a diaper change, Hazel was ready for some shopping!

Friday, October 28, 2011 - Hanging out in the backseat with Grandma Jordan. 

Saturday morning we hit the farmer's market, all three of us! Hazel fell asleep on the way home and slept for 3 hours, so Rob and I took the opportunity to do some test cooking for smackdown. That's right, instead of cooking ourselves real food, we experimented with silly dishes like roasted beet and goat cheese salad and a grilled mushroom salad. We even had time to work on the presentation of the dishes! And in the afternoon we picked up a couple of bottles of wine and made the dishes again to work on the wine pairing!

Saturday night the three of us went to Josh and Lora's Halloween party dressed up as Oregon Trail (the theme was video games). Kristen took pictures. I promise to get them from her and post them soon.

Week 4 - October 16-22, 2011

Week 4 brought many visitors to our house. We are so lucky to have such great friends and family that are willing to travel to come and see us (and by us, I mean Hazel)!

Sunday we had the day mostly to ourselves. Grandma Karen came for a sort visit in the afternoon, but we spent the rest of the day relaxing and cooking for ourselves - so exciting! We are trying to figure out places for Hazel to sleep that allow us to to use one or both of our hands! 

Sunday, October 16, 2011 - Hazel slept in this chair for about 15 minutes! But she did much better in the sling and we were able to get some cooking done. 

Erin got sick and had to lay low for a couple of days. Fortunately Hazel stayed healthy and by Wednesday we were up for visitors again. 

Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - Aunt Whitney and Uncle Kevin came to visit!

Wednesday, October 19, 2011
Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - And Katie came to visit too! We had a great lunch together with Hazel in the swing, so we could have some adult conversation. Then Hazel woke up and gave Katie some quality time. 

Wednesday was a sad day in the Jordan family. We had to put Luce, our family dog, to sleep. She was a wonderful dog and we will miss her immensely! Grandma and Granddad Jordan missed Monday dinner because Erin was sick, but they came over on Wednesday night instead. Luce's passing reminds us that while our newest addition is the apple of our eye, we cherish and love Bristol and are happy she is a part of our family.

Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - Snuggles on the couch with grandma!

Wednesday, October 19, 2011

Erin and Hazel spend much of their days exploring the wonders of daytime chores. We discovered a second sling that we can use so Erin can have at least one hand free. Hip hip hooray! Laundry is a bit of a challenge still, but we are figuring out how to live in harmony (and still get SOMETHING done around the house) a little better every day!

Friday, October 21, 2011 - Coffee with papa in the morning is a wonderful time!

Saturday was another day full of excitement! We started off the day right with a bath and a massage. We've started bathing Hazel in the claw foot tub with us, so no more pictures! She just loves bath time so much more when there is nursing involved...go figure! We do have pictures of her massage, which she LOVES, especially when we rub her back!

Saturday, October 22, 2011 - Massage time!

Saturday, October 22, 2011 - Hazel melts into the changing table when you massage her back.

We spent a good portion of the day running errands as a family. Erin is so excited to get out of the house that errands are a special event! Then Sam, Lacey, Allison, and Kim arrived for a visit from Chicago! Hazel was awake and happy for their whole visit - what fun!

Saturday, October 22, 2011 - Sam was sick, so Lacey had to snuggle for them both!
