Violet 4 Months

Its been a while since we posted anything so I thought I'd get in a quick update while Violet is napping - fingers crossed she doesn't wake up for a few more minutes...


We had a few visitors recently, Violet's Ottawa grandparents John and Rosemary were here for a really nice visit. They got lots of time with Violet - especially on stroller walks because that was the only way she would nap while they were here. She was absolutely determined not to nap in her crib and it seems when she sets her mind to something she really sticks to it! Luckily she has softened on the nap thing a little. We were also really happy to Have Violet's uncle come out for a visit, it was short but sweet, he is the scruffy young guy in the photos (JUST KIDDING JORD!). In a couple of weeks we are also expecting our friend Alicia from Toronto and I think our pals Renee and Jarod from White Rock - should be fun!

I had a really wonderful birthday, We went to a beautiful resort and spa that is only about half an hour from Victoria, we had a great stay and John and Rosemary babysat for us while we went to dinner. This was followed up the next day by a FABULOUS spa package for the girls - thanks honey!! :)

Violet is just changing all the time - we would like to post some video of her but technical difficulties are preventing it at the moment so not sure if that is going to happen. She is always rolling over now, she is also playing with her feet and putting her toes in her mouth, she LOVES daddy and he gets a huge smile every time she sees him (this has also turned into outrageous flirting with most men she meets...) and she has really started playing and interacting with toys a lot, she puts them all in her mouth. My favourite development is her love of a good chin wag - she wakes up chattering in the morning and continues for most of the day and she really gets going when she has someone talking back to her. We have spent many hours already with her chatting to us while on her change table.

Best be off before my luck with the nap runs out. Bye for now...
