As you can tell -our blog has been neglected - it is partially related to our busy work schedules and the other is the time we spend chasing Violet around. She started crawling about two weeks ago - and has not looked back.
Here is the progression we saw in a matter of weeks ......
It started out with her rolling everywhere, then it transitioned into a funny crab crawl on her belly - next it was getting on all fours rocking back-n-forth only to collapse in frustration into her "superman" pose. She then tried a new approach, "tushy" in the air while being on all fours - soon she took a few steps with her hands and then all of the sudden she was slowly crawling towards us and her favorite objects of affection, Brute and Frank. A couple days later she was like "Flash" hahah and we have been playing "Where is Waldo" ever since.
She has become a big talker these days - she is always telling me something and giggling and I just love it! It does not matter where we are - bath time - in the car - out to eat - she is going to make herself known - not much for volume control. She likes to trick me when it is bed time - while I rock her she will slowly close her eyes - right when I think it is time to lay her down she will open her eyes wide - smile - and start jabbering. I try soo hard not to laugh but it is soo funny.

Another big "trick" she does these days is waving to everyone - anything - sometimes just randomly I'll see her wave to her toys. My friend Ben was the first recipient of her wave - it surprised both me and Ben - he was about to leave and all the sudden her little arm started waving. I know I'm not the only mom out there that thinks their kid is the smartest kid on the planet! ahhaha
Violet is also growing soo fast - our "ittle one" is continuing to grow out of her clothes she is currently wearing 9-12 month clothing (*mainly in the pants) - I think John may get his wish for a Volleyball player if she keeps this up. She is over 21 pounds which means she is catching up with her cousin Lucy(*Lucy is 10 months older).
This has been a very fun stage for both John and I - we always thought Violet was full of personality but she just kills us some days with her bright eyes and terrific smile.
Here are some pics we had done with Olivia Wagner Photography - she does excellent work - very relaxed photo session and the pics turn out amazing.
