Hazel Hearts Handknits
Hello, everyone! I am trying to crawl out of newborn-dom to join the adult world again, but, golly, it’s difficult. Stefan and I are so insanely happy to be parents, particularly since Hazel is such a little joy! She’s just a bit over two weeks old right now (in fact, her two-week birthday was actually her due date!), and she now weighs 6 lbs, 13.5 oz. She’s a little peanut. Which means there’s not much that fits her right now – some newborn stuff, but not all of it, and just a few of the many gorgeous handknits we received from all of our fabulous and talented crafty friends! There’s one pair of socks that fits those little feet (thanks, Linda!), and a Baby Surprise Jacket that I made for her out of STR Lightweight on size US 2s. Other than that, we are just waiting for her to grow to trick her out in the many socks, sweaters, and hats we’ve received.
We are having the best time ever – we’ve had family visiting (Aunt Jessica is here now, Gramma and Grampa Squire are coming soon, Grampa Lombard is heading out in a few weeks), and our absolute favorite thing to do is to cuddle with our little girl. Knitting has taken a backseat to her, and that is a-okay! She’s worth it. We’ll be venturing out of the house more in the next few weeks, and will definitely be spending some time at Twisted soon.
She is beeeeeyoutifull!!!! mazel tov. an old Yiddush saying, when a baby is born, the world starts anew. pictures put a big smile on my face
Best wishes, Shannon and Stefan! Welcome to Portland, little Hazel. She’s not a peanut, she’s more of a hazelnut, wouldn’t you say?
Mazel tov, Shannon! What a cutie!
Congrats, Shannon and Stefan!
She is so beautiful!
Wow, how easy it is to forget how tiny and heart-tugging those newborns are.
Thanks for the reminder! Enjoy this time! It passes so quickly. The joy is that each age brings new wonder and fun.
Congratulations–how lovely Hazel is!
I can’t wait to squeeze you both! How is everything going? She’s so little and teeny! Eli is 11 months old, almost time for a birthday party!!
I’m really happy for you guys – Thanks for the update! I love little Hazel!!! I miss you Shannon – hugs and kisses – star
Congratulations! She is beautiful.
Shannon! Oh my gosh!!! Seems like I JUST heard you were expecting….and now look! Apparently, I cannot keep up with life
) And there go all my good knitting intentions. Oh well, now I’ll know who I’m knitting for. I’m thrilled for you and your husband. What a precious gift you’ve received!
Shannon! How beautiful! Nicole, our former co-worker, mentioned recently you had a little one on the way. Congratulations to you both on her arrival. What a thrill – she’s lovely.:)
Shannon what a beautiful little girl. Reminds me of mine way back when. They are 26 and 21 now. Congrats and enjoy her they grow so very fast!
Congratulations! What a lucky girl to have you and Stefan for parents! She is beautiful, Shannon!
Well, I guess you have been busy since I left. She is adorable and I add my Mazel Tov to the many already receive. I’ll be back in Portland in less than two weeks and hope to see you both.
