This little love bug is 11 months!  She has been for a few weeks, but I’m just now getting around to posting pictures.

Hazel, you are as happy and fun as ever!  You love smiling and laughing, and you are a super fast crawler.  You practice standing solo all the time, but you’re not crazy about taking steps.  You say “hi” all day long, and always when I come to get you in the morning and after naps.  You love rubbing your face in my hair and your woolly blanket.  

You hate having your face wiped and your diaper changed, and also have pretty passionate feelings about the gate keeping you from dashing up the stairs.  You are quick to dash for the gate when you see it open.  

You are an excellent sleeper and eater, and unfortunately, an excellent shrieker.  You’ve lost the sensitivity to eggs, hurray!  

You make our lives richer and we are so so grateful for you!
