Super sniffer

After Hazel goes to bed, Daddy and I often have an evening snack (ok, we always have an evening snack). When Hazel calls me up for something incredibly important that she's thinking about and wants to share when she's supposed to be falling asleep, she uncannily always knows what I've been eating. The first time was after her birthday this spring, when she said, "I smell birthday cake." What? Birthday cake? How can that be? I wouldn't be eating leftover birthday cake without her. :) She can identify everything from popsicle flavors to bread sticks to what-have-you. Just thought I'd record that, because I always think it's funny that she catches me eating snacks without her. Some pictures from the last few weeks...

I came into the living room after she'd had a bath and found her all snuggled up in the chair. She looked so tiny, kind of like an Anne Geddes picture.

Barricaded in the corner with stuffed animals, hiding from "the dragon." I'm glad she feels there are dragon-safe spots in the house. Goodness knows, I take advantage of them all the time.

These are magnets on our dishwasher. She said that Hello Kitty was out for a walk in the princess kingdom (that is the backdrop for her princess magnets) with her baby and her mother. Thought it was funny that she was imagining them in their clothes. Mom even has a purse.

Hazel got this jersey (with the ball) as a baby gift and is finally big enough to wear it. I just love its diminutive cuteness. We have yet to take her to a game, but she sings "Take me out to the ballgame" and knows that she wants peanuts and Cracker Jack when we're there. We're still going to try to get to a game this season.
