94.1

Turns out we weren't quite out of the woods with Violet being sick when last Thursday she woke up around Midnight with an incredibly LOW temperature. Not knowing what this meant we called the doctor, who shocked us by saying it was no biggie. Thankfully this weekend Violet has made a full recovery, and she blew past three milestones:

1. Now official sitting up whenever she wants to (no more "hit or miss")
2. Pulling up on everything (we lowered the crib)
3. Feeding herself (an organic, whole grain waffle)

She's Back!

Olivia just called and said that V woke up from a marathon, 3-hour nap. Her temp is 97.1!!!! I am so relieved that the fever finally broke. It's been 6 days of worry and watching her sleep - watching her every move really. I'm now going to count my gray hair.

103.6

Olivia, Violet's nanny called me at work Friday afternoon to tell me that Violet woke up from her nap with a 102.6 fever. By the time Jeff got home it was up to 103.6. After lots of snuggles, a few doses of Tylenol and a sleepless night things seem to be trending better. We're laying low at home today and hoping Violet gets back to her self soon.

Airplanes

Despite the poor organization of this event, we had a good time and saw lots of fancy flying machines. Violet liked it too and was her usual go-with-the-flow self as she ate lunch in the car on the way there (traffic jam), and ate dinner in the parking lot on the way out (another traffic jam). She wasn't such a fan of the F15 Strike Eagle - way too loud.

This is what I went to see...The Blue Angels. And they did not disappoint.

JATO

Violet's Great Grandfather flew one of these, a P47 Thunderbolt.

Flying Horsemen

Liberator

Wings Over Houston

The new meaning of multi-task

Jeff and Glacier Girl. She was rescued from an iceberg in Greenland, and we saw her fly!

I don't know what this is, but it's funny looking so I like it.

This is what Violet would look like if she were an astronaut.

Wanted to take a baseball bat to this speaker. Didn't it know that Violet was trying to take a nap???

Halloween

We went to visit Grandpa Ned in Houston on Halloween. No official costume for Violet, but she looked cute in her Jack-o-lantern shirt and pumpkin shoes. Everyone at the air show told me what a cute little boy I had.

It was obviously opposite day. She may have her dad's nose, but she has my horns!

8 Months Old and Happy

We call this move "Peek-a-Squeak"

Mesmerized by the Austin snow globe. This is likely the only time you'll see it snow in Austin, Violet.
