Hazel had her 18 month check up yesterday and is officially giant. She is 28 lbs and 12 oz. and 35 inches tall. I was kind of excited that she is almost 3 feet tall. When we are out people expect her to be "doing" more since she is the same size as most 2 year olds. At her check up her doctor asked if she can say about 20 words, and I said that was probably right. Then Hazel went on to list at least 20 words that she knew, so we decided that was an understatement. This morning, being the proud parents that we are, decided to count, we came up with 62 words, which by the end of the day will be more like 65 or 70. It is unbelievable how fast she is learning right now!

We recently went to the beach for a week, and Hazel got nicknamed "the tank" by her aunt and uncle. She was whipping Will around by the collar of his shirt. She just doesn't know her own strength!
Other news: We have found a place to move! We decided to rent next year instead of buy, since our house hasn't sold yet. We are waiting to hear back about the possibility of our house being approved for FHA financing--and then a possible offer?!
