Little one is one

So our little Miss started out life at (our biggest one yet) 7lbs 3 oz and is now a whopping 22 lbs 7 oz.  Lots of other things have changed since then too!  She is walking all over, in fact, she was our earliest walker at 11 months 1 week.  She still looks a bit drunk and stumbley but she is definitely able to get where she wants to, when she wants to.  She is also VERY dexterous.  Violet has dainty hand and petite fingers and can manipulate objects very well.  She also ALWAYS has a finger tip in the corner of her mouth.  Austin powers style:).  She seems to be able to fend off her bigger sisters pretty well, mostly with shrill awful screams.  So her stats are as follows: 22lbs 7 oz which is the 84%, 30 inches tall in the 89% and may have to have an upper lip frenulectomy like her big sister, Diana.   She also slammed her fingers in a drawer at the Doctor's office cracking a fingernail in half which caused blood, swelling, and lots more tears.  Then came immunizations, and finally a blood draw.  She had a rough day.  But, in true Violet form, today she's mostly back to normal toodling around playing by herself, muttering under her breath, and gently playing with toys or reading books.   

 The lovely couple is reunited :)

 Violet has gotten her first cell phone before mom gets one.  Oh wait, I've got a tab-phone-let.  That's for another time, though.

 Laura's got a new cow fur?  We've got a new sheep fur.

 Great  to have the kids together...bummer that we're missing a few though!

 Yup, she loved the frosting..   It took her quite a while to figure out that there is something under the frosting too.

 See, finger tip in mouth :)

 Mr. John Knox came for a visit.  He is a good friend from Denver that happned to be a state over so we convinced him to drive up and spend some time with our family.  It was time well spent and we'd love to have him back again!

 Nice one Marcy!
