About a week after my last post, Hazel figured out how to scoot her knees along with her hands and started crawling. So at seven months we had a crawler. And in almost the same day she mastered pulling herself to a stand. This little lady has things to do, and she's not going to let her age and development milestones get in the way. Now, at eight months Hazel is standing on her own for a few seconds at a time and continues to develop the leg strength to start walking soon. My mother started walking at 9 months, to which my grandmother described as "completely ridiculous, a little baby walking around." And I feel the same way. Hazel, slow down, take it easy, these precious times of infancy will be over soon, and there's no need to rush them away. Nevertheless, she is waving goodbye as well as hello and giving out high-fives - she's pretty darn proud of herself, and so are we. Oh, little hazy razy we love you and we'd love it if you would take it easy.
