Hazel is two weeks old!

Hard to believe, but little Hazel is already two weeks old. She weighed in at 8 pounds, 5.2 ounces today (almost 7 ounces above her birth weight) and one inch taller. Go Hazel! She eats like a fiend. Which is good, but leaves her Mama with little time to anything but feed her! She's still figuring out the difference between night and day, which means not a lot of sleep is going around, but seems to be getting the hang of it . . .

Meanwhile, Iris is an absolutely adoring big sister, constantly asking to "see my baby" or "hold my baby." She's definitely acting out a bit, but then again, she's a two-year-old. She certainly tries our patience on most days . . . it's amazing how well she can push our buttons. A good thing she's so cute and charming most of the time. Iris is super chatty these days, with her vocabulary and ability to construct sentences (and questions!) growing daily. She has now hit the "why" phase, and asks this question constantly. Another favorite is "what happened?" We're slower at posting and pictures lately, for obvious reasons, but have gotten some good ones from Hazel's first week up on flickr here.
