Fascinated with shutting doors, cupboards, and putting lids on everything, taking a picture of Hazel has become difficult of late - lest she wants to put the lens cap back on the camera.
Any fabric item (tea towels, wet washing on the clothes horse, Daddy's tie left too close to the edge of the table) left lying around will be modelled!
Hazel's favourite toy of the moment is her zebra (and her doll, Tony, which she takes everywhere, seen here in the zebra's basket!). Whilst her legs have been long enough to ride it for a little while, she has just grasped the concept of pushing it around herself, and she loves it. A little more work on the steering, and I suspect she'll be racing laps around the dinning room table in no time.
Here she is to give an actual kiss to the camera. Perhaps taking 'the camera loves you, baby' a little too literally.
Kisses are very nice. And they very nicely counter balance her other new skill of the week: the word 'no'. So happy is she with this word, that she has decided that it is the appropriate first answer to every question. So, a typical Mummy-Hazel conversation this week has been:
M - 'Hazel, would you like some banana bread for afternoon tea?'
H - (furious head-shake) 'NO!'
2 seconds later
H - (running towards high-chair) 'mmmmmmmmmmmm'
