Monday's Child

21 Weeks

Taking Violet's picture this morning was awesome. She performed like a true model. That girl has learned when the camera is on her, for sure. Normally I position the camera slightly out of her sight, then call her name and distract her to get a smile, hoping when I click the shutter that the picture is nicely centered, focused, snapped in time. Today, however, Violet would only smile when she was staring directly at the camera. The minute I put it down, the smile would fade. Hilarious! Finally, a girl who loves the camera as much as I do!

Violet is officially in her 6 month clothes, which is exciting because it means a whole new batch of stuff is about to come out of the closet. She also totally gets peek-a-boo, has been talking up a storm and can reach and grab with the best of them. Matt and I have both had dreams where she's rolled over, but alas that's the only place that skill is evident, in our dreams. She loves to sit up, though, and can manage to sit by herself, unsupported for quite a long time (in seconds). Perhaps she's planning to skip the rolling over phase and go straight to sitting, standing, walking, line dancing...

After the excitement of meeting my brother and sister-in-law last week, we continued the fun yesterday when Violet met her Uncle Tatum for the first time. That post, along with my new mission to cook my way through our Tex-Mex cookbook, will be coming up soon. Stay tuned!
