The Godfather

Violet had a blast hanging out with her Uncle Lukas yesterday! He and Danielle are back Stateside for Christmas and were planning to hang with us over the weekend, but a nasty stomach bug put a wrinkle in our plans. Fortunately, Lukas was able to come up yesterday and hang out all afternoon. And of course, we're looking forward to seeing them for the annual Fortunato Christmas Eve tradition in just a couple days. But since we only get to see them a couple times a year, I was thrilled to get a little extra time in yesterday.

Last time Lukas saw Violet, she wasn't even five months old. She had no teeth and hadn't fully mastered the concept of eating rice cereal yet. The changes she's made since July have been quite dramatic!

Then...

... and now.

Now Violet is crawling, eating everything in sight and "talking" up a storm! In fact, the only similarities between then and now might be the amount of drool she is producing! At least she has five teeth to show for it. Her uncle spent the afternoon playing, teaching her how to drum on the coffee table, and wowing her with his juggling skills.

Discovering that the coffee table makes an excellent drum set.

 

 Someone thinks her uncle is pretty cool...
