8 months already

it is hard to believe that 8 months has gone by since hazel joined our family. today, it has. i am quite sure that hazel will never remember the significance of our hawaiian vacation 2012. this will be our last big vacation before jax leaves on his mission. tears.........
rather that do a sitting with hazel, i decided to use a few images from our vaca. before i post, let me state that i doubt there was ever a better baby on a vacation of this magnitude. hazel never got a nap without being woken up. she rarely fell asleep in the same place twice. we woke this baby up, we dragged her all over maui, we even forgot her bottle on a 5 hour boat trip. she rarely complained. hazel even had 2 teeth break through one night while we were gone. that night was a rough go. 

hazel is loved beyond measure. she can get up on all fours and lung forward, but still doesn't officially crawl. i believe that she believes that if we would just put her down she would be able to keep up with all the other kids that our in and out of hazel's life. 
she has 2 teeth.
she growls when she isn't loving what is going on around her. 
mom is her favorite right now. (smile) 
hazel gives open mouth, tongue filled kisses to most.
she will play with us. sometimes if you ask for a kiss, she will let you come in for the kill and then giggle and turn away. 


she stood on one leg while waiting for the water to come.
she loves her family. she knows us and gets excited to see us.

she is brilliant!!
she will clap on command AND loves to play "patty cake." it might be the cutest thing i have ever seen.
we love this baby more than i ever dreamed possible. 
so grateful for every minute we get with this baby.
