Nine Months

 Hazel,
Happy Nine Months sweet girl! Where to start about this last month...you are learning so much! We could break it down into a few different areas; food, moving, communication, and other.

First is food. You are eating a ton, you really have started to enjoy eating, and finger foods are a new fave! We have been less cautious with only giving you certain foods and have let you try lots of new things. You are getting better and better at getting the food in your mouth (as opposed to on your shirt or in your high chair)! You have been eating baby puffs for awhile, but now like Cheerios, bits of mango, bread pieces, and this morning you even had bits of our waffles! So far, you love it all! 

Second is moving. Wow, sitting still is a concept you don't agree with! You are always moving. Whether it is big girl crawling, doing your "worm," walking behind your wagon, pulling yourself up on furniture or drawers, or cruising along the furniture, you are definitely always moving! Even the picture below proves my point! Monthly pictures was a little trickier this time...

Communication. Hmm, well you are making sounds all of the time! You talk to us, the animals, and now to your baby doll too. You love singing and dancing with your activity table music, and even dancing around in the car to the radio! You love telling us all sorts of stories, and we hear you talking to your baby doll in your crib when you wake up. You are so sweet!

Now to the other. My favorite new trick is that you are giving kisses. I love your kisses, they are so sweet! You even smack your lips together to tell us you want to give us kisses.

Hazel Jean, you are so special to us, and we can't believe how fast these amazing nine months have gone! We love you so much!!
