Hazel Hodgepodge

Hazel has an adventurous spirit, just like Todd does. She is always on the move. It seems like she's always seeking a challenge. Her latest favorite is to find objects to crawl around where she has to go up, down, over, under - baby obstacle courses! She plays under the table, weaving through the chair legs, all the time.
Last Friday we met up with one of my best friends from high school, Nick Sidwell, and his wife Sarah and daughter Molly. Molly is only six weeks younger than Hazel, so they're destined to be buddies. She's a bit of a gentler spirit than Hazel is, though. I think the Haz freaked Molly out a few times with her boisterousness. Hazel is also a lot bigger than Molly is. We put their hands next to each other, and it looked like Hazel had Man Hands. Here they are, hanging out:
We all went rock climbing. It was my first time trying it outdoors. I was scared to climb on real rock, without the colored handholds to guide me, but it was actually pretty fun. Even Hazel gave it a go:
Last but not least, I told Todd that Hazel is crawling really fast now, and he asked me to video it. Here it is for him to see, as well as anyone else who is interested.

Man Hands! That is hilarious. I think Hazel is very cute and good for her for not being scared of anything...although she looks a bit concerned doing that rock climbing!
