11 months came way too fast. I just got used to calling her my 10-month-old. I might as well just start calling her my 1-year-old now because that is going to come, lightning fast! For the first 28 days of her life, she was considered a newborn. After that and up until she started walking, she was an infant. Now, she is a toddler. You read that correctly. She toddles all day long.
Violet has this way of gradually learning a new skill. At first, you're not sure if she meant to take a step or she just fell forward. Next thing you know, she is 'falling forward' halfway across the room. Lea and I exchange looks of shock and say, "I suppose she knows how to walk now." [Insert nonchalant shrug here.] Now a week later, she is a walking expert and we are considering entering her into professional walking tournaments (as soon as we find one. We may have to go international.) Typically a change in scenery is all Violet needs to advance to next level with speed and precision. One-up style. Change looks good on her. So do cloth diapers. ZING! (and a Tanooki suit.)
Yesterday, Violet's new friend Isla came over for a swim/play date with her Mommy and Daddy. We all had a great time! Isla and Violet both loved the water. Isla is a little over a year old and is quite the explorer. She is very sweet, smart and beautiful. I love how she points everything out and then says "Hi" to it. We love her and her family already.
