I'm not even sure where to begin with this post as I can't believe our sweet baby girl is one. This past year has been so amazing and I honestly can't believe that Hazel has only been a part of our lives for such a relatively short amount of time. We are so in love with her and her beautiful spirit. Each day I get to see her laugh and learn new things brings such joy and meaning to my life. Each day I see her with her daddy and get to experience life as a family I am so grateful.
Hazel's party on Saturday went great! Lots of friends and family showed up and it was so nice to share in the celebration with them. I posted the pics here. My parents flew in from Seattle, Lili drove up from LA and the entire Hermann clan came from Los Altos as well, so we had a wonderful time catching up with everyone. I had planned Hazel's party for 11 because we had a wedding to go to that night (Marshall was a groomsman, so he had to leave at 1:30) and it didn't even dawn on me that it would be right smack in the middle of Hazel's naptime. She didn't seem much like herself and wasn't even interested in eating her cake! Once we got home she was still out of sorts and only when I was about 10 minutes from heading out for the wedding did we decide to take her temperature and see that it was 103.9!!! Whoa, no wonder baby girl wasn't all laughs! Luckily our family took great care of her with Motrin and lukewarm baths and her temp came down pretty quickly, although she had a low grade fever the whole weekend.
Mother's day was wonderful as well! Of course the best gift I could ever ask for would be my sweet baby! We all went out to brunch and Marshall & Hazel got me a gift certificate to the spa :)
Hazel also had her one year checkup this week and is 27 pounds 6 ounces and 31 inches (!!!!). She is still at the top of the charts but the doctor said that she was doing great and is not "obese" by any means. I got really tearful as we walked back to the exam room as my memory of that same walk just one year ago was so vivid - holding Hazel (all 6 pounds 2 ounces of her) and now here she was, cute as can be, marching herself down to the room herself.
Overall, we had a great weekend but it was busy & exhausting so I am happy to be back to "normal" life. Normal that is until August gets here... :)

Looks like you all had a blast! Congrats again to Hazel on her First Birthday!
Can't believe it's been a year already, Hazel! Happy Birthday!
Poor Hazel. Sorry she wasn't feeling great on her bday. Isn't it amazing how much we love them? I was just thinking last night about what the heck we did before Luke was born. He makes us laugh and smile everyday!
What a great weekend!! I agree--it is SO CRAZY to me that it's already been a year but in the same regard, I can't believe that it's also ONLY been a year! LBH--Life Before Hazel! What was that?? :)
Great photos - Hazel is just adorable! (So funny that you said "not obese by any means"!I was about 27 lbs at a year old, too. Nice and healthy!)
