Dear Violet (18 months),

You're a walkin'! After your first two steps...you took a little break to absorb the magnitude of this milestone and now you're using your feet to get most places. ;) As you work to perfect this new ability we continue to walk around the block almost everyday to strengthen your legs and build your endurance. It's amazing how quickly your balance has improved (even though you still topple over at least 99 times a day).

You had a very busy month! Including camping at the Dow's camp in Alex Bay, a visit with your new boyfriend (Gabe, talkin about you buddy), and visiting family. We visited Grandpa D at his new home and Grandma G to celebrate her 57th bday. In both instances you had fun playing with your cousins and exploring.

Your list of new words now include:


pasta
upstairs
cereal
hair
teeth
mouth
arm
elbow
booger
pigtail
two
three
train
abel
shellie
mal
sydney
mia
horse
OK
no way
tomatoes
yogurt
water

Oh, and you love to sing songs now. You fill in a few blanks when we sing ABC's, twinkle twinkle little star, jesus loves me, and itsy bitsy spider.

You are a joy, Viley. We love playing with you and spending time with you.

Mia is delighted to be on Viley's first words list;) She doesn't quite say Violet yet, but Charlie on the other hand...surprised me the other day when we were riding in the car. He kept saying, "I want to go to Waura's house" over and over. I didn't get it until he added, "I want to see Violet." Anything to get out of another trip to Target (ha ha).
