(LONG DELAY AGAINNNN! Oh well, here is the next part! Hazel is now 10 months old! Also, HAPPY NEW YEAR 2018!!)

{ Hazel's POV }

Dad and Mom sure love to teach me new things, and now that I am getting older, there is lots more to learn! Like, how to walk! I never really knew how to walk like mom, dad, uncle, or anyone does, and I have no idea why. All I could do was crawl. Its very weird that I couldn't walk yet.. maybe something you learn while you age? But either way, I am slowly starting to be able to stand up! Though, I wobble quite a bit and sometime fall down.. For a start, mom or dad holds me up by my hands and leads my steps so I can learn to walk around. Soon, I would be able to walk on my own!

However, today, dad decided to see how well I can walk, to see if the practice is helping out. So, mom and dad took me to the living room, with mom holding me on one side of the floor and dad on the other, facing eachother in a straight line. Mom held me up on my feet from under my arms, and I was kicking my feet up and down as I reached out at dad. "You wanna go to daddy, Hazie? Go get daddy!" Mom said with a chuckle, and carefully let me go as I stayed standing, before I wobbled on my feet, toward dad. Left and right, I quickly picked up and dropped my feet to walk, before reaching out my hands and squealing happily as I got closer. "That's it, Hazel! Come on!" Dad exclaimed, and put his arms out as well to prepare to catch me if I tumbled, or to grab me when I got to him.

Then, I leaned myself forward and fell into dad's arms, and grabbed his shirt as I laughed happily. "At'ta girl, Hazie! Good job!!" Dad exclaimed, picking me and hugging me, as mom stood up to come over to us with a big smile on her face. When mom sat down, and grabbed her arm and nuzzled it, making mom pick me up and kiss my cheek. "Mommy and daddy are very proud of you Hazel, you're gonna be running around the house in no time!" She said, as I batted at her face playfully.
