"You come from me and I come from you, that's how we both did come,
from milk and honey, bread and cheese, berries and wine and rum. You feel so soft and tender and smooth and warm here, I feel so glad you come to see me from that newborn baby's land" (from Woody Guthrie's Howdy Little Newlycome)

Oh what a momentous first birthday!
We celebrated her cousin Beckett's and Mimi's birthday all together at Edisto Island, SC.
From mama and dada, Violet got her first baby doll and a refurbished teddy bear that Mimi had made for mama's 1st birthday.

Vi enjoyed playing in (not eating) her very own birthday cake.

We can hardly believe our sweet Violet is one year old! She is our smiley, pointing-at-everything baby who babbles almost constantly with an amazing array of sounds, talking even before she wakes up. We feel so lucky that she came to see us from her newborn babyland.
Happy 1st Birthday, Violet!
