Feeding "Vilet"

Although "Vilet" (this is how Ava says Violet) has not started eating solid foods, Ava thinks it's about time. While helping mom put away dishes she got a big colander and spoon and pretended to feed Violet. I think it's almost time to begin the rice cereal. Violet is eating every two or three hours and is waking up at night again. She is also grabbing everything in her sight and shoving it into her mouth. Her sitting is also coming along very well. She has not had any food allergy issues like Ava did so we'll probably start within the next week or so. Happy eating everyone!

Four Month Photo Shoot

What do you get when you combine two hours, a diaper change, one feeding, one trashed onesie and a bag full of animal crackers? A four month photo shoot of course. All turned out well despite the horrendous wait (all moms were there because it's voting day taking c-mas pics). Ava was so good she got a happy meal on the way home. She likes the chicken nuggets with apple dippers and a juice.

I love Rock and Roll!

Well, not really. Violet doesn't really respond to music like Ava does, but you'd never guess it by her favorite pose! Note two fingers, not one, does the trick to pacify this little girl.

Happy Halloween!

Halloween 2007 featured a monkey and a banana. Ava loved getting anything chocolate. She tried to say treat, but it came out more like "eee." Maybe next year. Ava and Dad had a talk about Halloween in the morning. She wanted to wear her costume all day. It was adorable! Violet had no idea what was going on except that she was stuffed into a banana suit twice that day. She made the perfect banana. I think she would have loved to eat one.
