This & That

Violet is very mobile these days. She cruises the furniture one handed and let's go to stand alone (by herself, not holding on to anything) for a minute or two at a time. She took FOUR steps the other day!!! Since, she has taken one or two steps, but she is still testing the waters. When she crawls, she is so fast!

She has also sprouted teeth #5 and #6. So her top four front teeth are in and her two bottom front teeth. She no longer looks like a vampire. ;P

We have a framed 8x10 photo of her up that was taken just before she turned 6 weeks old. If we say, "Say hi to the baby," she turns to it and waves and tries to say "hi!" It's pretty adorable, if I do say so myself.
The animals now let her hug them and pet them more and don't seem to be nearly as annoyed with her as they used to be. In fact, our dog Mona has become her BFF since realizing that whatever food Violet drops, she gets to nom on.
At her 9 month pediatrician appointment, the doctor said she is doing incredibly well. She is hitting her milestones early/on time and is healthy, happy and normal and we are more than happy and proud! :) Here are the stats: 28.5 inches tall, 20 pounds and 7 ounces.
This summer is breezing by, but we are having a blast and savoring each moment of Violet's first year. All of her firsts and each new milestone she hits truly amaze us. I know each new parent says these kind of things, but there is a reason for that! We've already started the planning for Violet's first birthday party. This may seem crazy to some, but time seems to go by so much faster with a baby in tow. Just trying to keep our bases covered. :)

'Til next time! <3
