She's a Casual Eater

Hazel likes to put one foot up on the high chair tray near the end of her meal. It makes me think of how I put my feet on the dashboard on road trips. We're chillin' kind of ladies.
And she's so delighted that she can stand (while holding on to things) that she rarely sits still for an entire meal. She'll drink about half her bottle sitting in my lap, and then wiggles around like she wants to get down and play. However, as soon as her feet hit the pavement, so to speak, she crawls back over to the couch, props herself up, and begs for the rest of her milk. She'll only take it standing. It makes me feel like I'm feeding a little calf, the way she wobbles around on her sweet baby legs while I try to keep the bottle in her mouth.

Yay!!! Thanks for posting, Angie! Hazel is sooo sweet and sooo fun! I love watching her character unravel more and more. And I'm happy that she's so delighted with all the new things she's learning how to do! Love you girls!

When I am alone, I too like to prop one foot up whilst I eat. Makes it easier to shovel the food in.

Her hair is getting so light. Is it blond? White? Tinge of strawberry? I can't tell, but I want to ask my hair colorist to give me that color!

I'm so glad you're documenting this stuff. I wish I could read similar anecdotes from when I was a baby!
