Violet and Amanda hit Manhattan

Stroller pros

Washington Square (a good spot for diaper/nursing)

Violet went right for the wasabi at Sushi Samba

Exhausted on the train back to Debbie's

10 months already!

Violet in the Fall breeze

After tasting a few, Violet discovered that leaves are not only intriguing to look at.

Our little girl is really getting big! Over 10 months old and over 18 lbs. She adores talking, babbling like a brook. And she only wants to eat chunky food, can devour a potato or avocado in a matter of minutes. She figured out how to jump in the jolly jumper this week, has gone to sleep all by herself in her crib a couple of times, and loves books. She enjoys us reading them but also loves to just hold and play with them. This week she prefers "The Little Red Hen."

9 months and change

We moved to our first house at the end of July.
Here she is in her new high chair and kitchen!
Before we know it, her feet will reach the foot rest.

Poor Violet was contained for much of the move.

Last picture at the old apartment. What a good sport!

Those baby blues

We don't yet have a picture of Vi in front of the house, but look for it soon. She is loving the new place now after a couple of crabby weeks of adjustment. Still the most exciting thing in her life is Sadie the cat who begrudgingly leaves any room she enters to escape her screams of excitement. She thinks O-shaped cereal is almost as fun.

Our 8 month old chunky monkey!

Sleeping on Mimi.

Kicking back at Grandma and Grandpa Rempher's.

Violet's first time in the kiddie pool today at Aunt Dolie's.

10 Year Anniversary Beach Trip

We headed to Carolina Beach on June 11th to celebrate our 10 years and Violet's 7 months. Her first trip to the beach! She was a bit more into the stroller and our hats than the beach, but was soothed to sleep by the waves a couple of times.

What a cutie!!

Look ma! 3 chins!

Contemplative Violet

A little rice cereal action

Love the standing gym, cousin Beck!

6 months old, the light of our lives!
