Swimming fun!

We got a Vivi a little pool, complete with a sprinkler, and she loves it! She is definitely a water baby and loves to splash!

Our sweet niece Payton came over and spent the night for her birthday. She picked out a yummy dinner of chicken alfredo and garlic bread, and we made strawberry cupcakes for dessert. To say Violet likes Payton is an understatement, ha. She LOVES her! She was so excited to see her and talk to her, and loved playing with her. Payton was so sweet and helpful, and so good with her. I know that Vivi is going to grow up with a special relationship with Payton. Here are some pics of the fun they had together!

11 Months

Sweet baby girl, you are already 11 months old! What are you up to these days:

-Sleeping about 12 hours a night with usually 2 naps a day. You decided that you want to stay up a little later now, which is fine with mommy when you don't get up until around 7:30!
-You love food! Some of your new faves are hummus, baby yogurt, tomatoes, yogurt melts, goat's milk, tortilla soup and cilantro lime rice from Mi Cocina, and spaghetti! Yum!
-You now have 4 teeth, two on top and two on bottom.
-You have so much to say, you have even started using some signs: more, so big, and clapping when we say "yay"
-You are pulling up on everything you possibly can
-You are crawling everywhere, so fast. You still army crawl everywhere, but it seems to get you where you need to go.
-You love to check out people's teeth, and really love to pull hair, ha!
-You love to dance. Sometimes when you are playing, you will just stop what you are doing and bob your head and move your arms. You must have a "tune in your head" like mommy did as a baby!
-You are SO sweet and mommy and daddy absolutely can't get enough of you!

Vegas Vacation

This post is long overdue, but bear with me. Ev and I went to Vegas a few weeks ago. We had a great time. It was fun to just get away and not have to worry about diapers, laundry or cleaning for a few days. We definitely missed Violet, and it was so hard to leave her. We were excited to pick her up when we got back. Thank you SO much to Grammy for watching Vi for us so that we could have a little vacation together. It was SO hot there. Ev and I were wishing for some cooler temps, but we enjoyed eating yummy food, sightseeing, leaving our money in the slot machines (ha), and just getting to be together!

Donuts for dessert at the amazing restaraunt Fix!
