Hazel...

Hazel moved up today from the itty bitty room...she is now in the not so itty bitty room...I'm sad about this but not terribly sad. I think the "I know she is my last baby" part is just not sitting well with me! Look at sweet Hazel working on her walking on the beach...
Hazel was by far the best dressed at the beach...everyday something smocked, delicate, or lacy...adorable. This bishop dress is something I got when I was pregnant with her. It is 9 months but is still SO long! It's not her...the dress is WAY long! I'm so excited to keep it for next year and she can wear it again!!

Hazel has been taking a few steps lately...2-3 at a time. She has been standing and squatting for a few months, but the walking thing she is taking her time. The thing about her walking is she moves the left foot far and the right one not so much...so she pivots like a gimp! It is so cute when she is holding one of our hands and she gets all excited and walks...It's like she is tap dancing!

Hazel also sprouted her 3rd tooth...the first one on the top. She has been working to get that sucker out for MONTHS!! Her poor little gums have been swollen for awhile now...relieved for her to get it out!!

So, at school (in the itty bitty room) she didn't nap except for a couple of 10-20 minute naps. In her new class there is a nap time and they all go down at the same time, lights out, lullaby music playing, etc. I hope and pray that she takes to this nap thing at school! She naps at home on the weekends for 2-3 hours! The thing with weekdays is by the time I get her and come home she is so sleepy! I rush to get dinner on the table and have her eat before she melts down. Usually around 5:30 she is D.O.N.E...oftentimes whining "nigh nigh". She goes down without a whimper...

She will be 11 months on October 4th...time flies when you are having fun!
