Baby Violet

I can't begin to tell you how amazing and comforting it is to have people you trust look after your little one!! Grandparents are in general safer drivers, more attentive, almost to the point of overstimulating, but always aware more than most parents!! So lean on them when you can. The relationship they build with your baby/child is irreplaceable! And if a friend offers to watch your little shnookums, drop her off every once and a while and do something nice for yourself, like a hair cut, massage, or even a nap! And finally, did you know that there are great, affordable daycares at gyms!! Gold's has a saline pool, family swim times, a cardio theater, and steam room and sauna!! The teachers at the kids klub there are great, use them!! They are a god send! Hope you're enjoying the sunshine today!! And thank you to everyone who's been there for us!! We're here for you too!

Hello Everyone!! Its been a long a time, and there's lots to catch up on. To my followers...I'm sure you've seen some things on Facebook, and have dropped by the house a time or two, but I apologize for slacking on the Blog-Front!! I'll tell you, being a mommy is amazing, challenging, and rewarding. As I write this morning, I struggle with keeping the computer from my little genius. Normally we open a word doc and let her type away, but today, I wanted to take just a few minutes and get something up on the blog before I blink and she's 18. At 5 months, she figured out, by complete mistake of course, how to type an Omega!! More than I've accomplished in my 18 years working on computers... ;) At 8 months now, she is seriously willful, knows what she wants, is very active and very funny! She's the happiest baby on the block for sure! Violet is crawling, pulling herself up, playing independently, loves her puppy, and is on her way to sleeping in her crib! So...
