Eight Months

  

Hazel has grown so much over the past few months, it’s hard to believe she is only eight months old sometimes.  She got her first taste of freedom a couple months ago from learning to army crawl and hasn’t stopped since.  She quickly learned how to crawl and was on to the next thing; pulling up and cruising along our furniture.  She loves to walk holding our hands and is always trying to keep up with her big sister.  She has really started enjoying foods over the last month and usually gets a taste of whatever we are eating.  So far, she has liked everything, even tomatoes!  She loves cuddling and giving kisses and is always trying to climb on my lap only to turn around and go find someplace else to be.  She loves playing outside with us but we have to watch her constantly as she also enjoys eating dirt.  She has the calmest, gentlest spirit and we feel so blessed to be able to watch her grow.
