Things to Remember


I haven't done one of these posts about Hazen in a long time, and he does so many things, and loves so much about life!!

-Hazen is walking/running up a storm. I love watching him walk around the house with various household items. My favorite is when I'm going from room to room, I hold out my hand to him, and he walks with me wherever I go. It warms my heart!

-Hazen has entered his whining phase. This is not as cute, but we're working through it, and he only really does it when he wants attention.

-He knows how to blow kisses, give kisses, and give "snuggies". I have been so blessed with being given an independent, yet affectionate child. He will run around like a madman, but always come back to his mama to fling his arms around my neck, and rest his head on my shoulder. He always ends it with a big, fat, openmouthed kiss. It is of no doubt to me that THAT is what motherhood is all about. All the tears I've shed, frustration I've felt, fear I've know is WORTH it when my little boy tells me he loves me the best way he knows how.

-Every morning when I wake up, he looks at me, kisses me, and then I remind him, "Heavenly Father must REALLY love me if he gave me you". I've never believed something more fully.

-Hazen is a FLIRT. The second he sees pretty girls, he is flirting with them. Everyone wants him to be their boyfriend, but sorry, he's taken!

-Hazen has the most freak-nasty stinky feet. It is worse than the smell of a grown man's feet. It makes me laugh!



-Hazen's current word repretoire consists of: Mommy, Daddy, Poopy, Abbie, P-U, and his chattering has taken on a new level of wordiness. He talks ALL.DAY.LONG. I really wonder where he got that from. He may be the visual clone of his father, but at least he has SOMETHING from me!

-He has developed this new really ugly face when he gets mad. I'll have to get a picture of it, but it's really....ugly. It's pretty funny, though!

-Hazen is a chicken-holic. He will eat chicken from sun up to sun down.

-When I do laundry, Hazen loves to help. It's really cute, and it keeps him entertained for quite some time.



-Hazen is starting to love books like I do! He brings books to us to read, and it's so cute to walk into the playroom and seeing him peruse the books!

-Hazen is the best thing that has ever happened to us.

What a cute son. I remember when we flew back to Utah together a year ago. He was so little back then. I can't wait until Braden reaches his stage. It sounds like he is so active and fun. Lucky you!

We have those books. Love them. One time I was reading the No NO Yes Yes to Bea (Paige's kid) and she had no idea which things were naughty and which were okay. She was baffled. "You mean it's naughty to run away from my dad?"

I cannot believe how big that boy is...

It seems like Hazen's cute little face changed from baby-looking to a bigger kid. I love getting to see pictures of him playing. It will be fun when you post a picture of him walking or running. :) Nice when you can hold their hand, and not have to carry them, huh? Yay!

Question 1: Does Hal own pants?

Question 2: Do you want to ship him to me?
