Lucy's Visit

Lucy. 'nuff said.
We interrupt this playtime for snack time!

Flavor of the month

Violet is a great eater. She typically eats whatever we put in front of her. This weekend I tried a bunch of new stuff out on her, here is the rundown:

asparagus - "not bad"

pancakes - "love 'em"

oranges - "Yes!"

grapes - "Mmmmm"

raisins - "More please"

tomatoes - "no, thank you"

cottage cheese - "gag"

black beans - "if you ever try to feed those to me again I will run away"

Hat Trick

Violet likes my hat

Careful Jagger! I wouldn't trust that look on her face
Can't say I didn't warn you, buddy.

Milestone: Pulling Up

Violet pulled up today in the hearth. She's been "practicing" a little this past week, but tonight she did it for real. Today, Violet's friend, Lucy, came over and showed her how it was done. Coincidence?...or did Lucy teach Violet this new trick?

Double Whammy!

I already mentioned that Violet is full speed ahead in the teething race, but did I also mention that she is dealing with a virus?? She has been running a 100+ fever for the past 3 days now. Last night it topped out at 104.9!! Sure, she's a little fussy, but she's mainly handling it all in stride.

She's a tough little cookie and I truly - or should I say "drooly" - hope she busts out those teeth and kicks the fever thing so she can get back to her full time job of torturing Jagger again.

Lunch at Frank

This morning we took a 5-mile walk, then undid it all by eating Chicago dogs and cheese waffle fries for lunch. Ahhhh, I love balance.
