Violet's First Labor Day Weekend

Charlotte Beach

I'm 1!

I just had on my cranky pants, but now I'm ready to party!

Mmmm...not as good as sweet taters, but they'll do

Calgon, take me away

Violet really enjoyed her long weekend. It all started with a trip on Friday to Sringdale Farms. Violet was more interested in playing with the netting on the inside of her stroller than looking at the sheep and goats with her pal Mallory. Then from Ella's 1st birthday party at the beach to attending the NYS Fair with the Downie clan, the term 'overstimulation' just doesn't seem to cover it. Oh, and we also squeezed in a visit with Aunt Nan and a picnic at the park where Violet had fun swinging (her new favorite pastime).

It was all topped off with a meal of pureed carrots and a warm sudsy bath. She was in bed by 6pm tonight...most likely dreaming about all of her adventures.
