Hazel Jane: 9 months old

Hazel turned nine months old on April 28. She weighed 19 pounds and was 28 inches long at her 9 month check-up. She is so sweet and learning new things everyday. She still doesn't crawl, but manages to get things by stretching or changing positions. She doesn't have any teeth yet which makes me happy because I want her to stay a baby for as long as possible and teeth seem to make a baby look so much older. She has been eating lots of new foods like crackers, cereal, peaches, avacado, mango, carrots, peas and her favorite, bananas. She recently started clapping so I took a video of Brigham and Rachel trying to get her to clap for the camera. Mostly, it's them clapping, but she joined in a little. She was too busy watching them and wondering what on earth they were clapping for.
