Sorry about that!

Hi Everyone.

I have been told that I have been slacking with my Violet blog and I'm sorry!! :) Chasing after a 21 month old, working and keeping up a house pretty much takes all the free time out of the day! But here I go.

Violet Mai is like I said 21 months! She's picking up more and more words for her vocabulary daily. She's able to identify people by there names which puts a smile on everyones face. Her newest name is Aimee.. I think she had the hardest time with Jordan so she just calls her "JoJo". Probably one of my favorites is when she picks up one of our cellphones or just heres one ring and she automatically says "hello" in the cutest voice I've ever heard. She also likes to add "my" in front of our names. Like My Dada, My Nana. Cute!

The last few months she took 2 classes at the community center. She took "messy arts" with momma and "twist tumble & twirl" with dada. We decided that we think she likes the open gym there the best but it was fun having her in some classes. She loves to paint and draw. She calls it "blue". And she scribbles away. I'm constantly washing walls, floors, toilets, doors whatever she thinks is her "canvas" Thank god for washable markers and crayons...

So I just had to take a break because Violet thought it was a good idea to poor her glass of milk down the heat vent. Fun stuff!!! And who says the terrible 2's start at 2? I beg to differ. :)

Violet is finally sleeping better! John and I went to Hawaii in January and Violet stayed home with her Nana. During that week Violet finally slept THROUGH THE NIGHT! She's still doing pretty good with it. With the exceptions of stomach flu, ear infections & teething she's sleeping great. We usually have 1 wake up around 1am and she just needs a little rub on her back.

She almost has all of her teeth. All except her 2 year molars. What a cute little mouth! :) Violet got her 1st and hopefully last set of stitches last month. We were at Grandma Pat's and Vi fell and hit her eye on the corner of a coffee table. OUCH! We took her to the emergency room (well I had to wait in the car) and she got 2 stitches. Poor little lady. As soon as we got home she was up and running/climbing instantly! What a tough little bird.

Alright well she's out of her highchair tormenting the kitties, time for me to sign off. Sorry for the delay in posts.
