Happy Birthday Violet!

Apologies to our loyal friends and family that are eagerly waiting for new pictures and updates.
I feel like we are so busy these days that I hardly have time for phone calls, let alone any computer time. So apologies to everyone!

Since our last post - Violet has mastered walking and I know it will soon turn into running .. she has attempted it a few times and it has resulted in total wipe outs. She is so tough that it doesn't really phase her - she just picks herself up and goes for another try.

She is also been very busy mastering her favorite words Mommy, Daddy , Bye Bye , Deny (*daycare lady) and still an assortment of gibber jabber. What we are enjoying the most latley are her many facial expressions it's as if she is trying out all sorts of emotions. She has been trying out her faxe whiney and sad face, I have no idea where she picked it up but we have the hardest time not laughing at her. My favorite face has been her fish lips - we are not sure if she is trying to blow kisses or just trying to see what she can do with her lips.

It is amazing how fast this year has flown by - my little girl is turning One. She has really developed her personality - my little sassy social butterfly. She is very aware of her surroundings and all the attention she can get when we are out and about running errands.
John and I still can't believe we have been blessed with this sweet little girl.

I don't have many new pics to share - but I will be taking many this weekend. We are inviting over a small group of friends and family to celebrate V's First birthday. Stay tuned for pics!
