Introducing Baby Sister Hazel Diane



Ezra is now a big brother. A job that he is happy to do. He LOVES his little sister. He was excited about her the entire pregnancy and had big plans on what he would teach her and share with her. And his excitement continues.

On December 12, 2010 Hazel Diane was born. She weighed 8lbs. 13 oz. and was 20.5" long. She was 2 ounces heavier than her brother. We have big babies!

Hazel is now 4 days old and having her home has been wonderful. The hardest transition so far has been that Ezra has a nasty cold that leaves him out of breath and cranky. He is not sleeping because he coughs so much, therefore he is up all night long. I think that Hazel is actually getting more sleep than he is.

Hazel is completely a part of our family and seems to have always been here. We were anticipating her for so long and now that she is here that anticipation seems like a distant memory. We love her so much and love that our family is now a family of four.

Hazel is already so much different than her brother was as a baby. She is calm and content to hang out. She prefers to be held at all times. And so far she enjoys her car seat!!! This is a major plus considering that Ezra HATED his car seat for months, making any car ride nearly unbearable. And so far, no colic. Praise Jesus for that!!!
