Milestones















Violet is now beyond 8 months old and is developing like crazy. Here are some recent exciting events:
  • She can get into the sitting position from her belly/side.
  • Twice, she pulled up to standing on my mom's ottoman last Friday. She quickly fell back down, but since she did it twice, I wouldn't call it a fluke. (Consequently, we removed her crib bumper, so it looks like she sleeps in jail. Has anyone else ever had issues with this?)
  • For several weeks, we've been working on signs at mealtimes. I'm almost positive she used the sign for "more," when she wanted to nurse this morning.
  • She DOESN'T have any teeth yet. Yet she chews on EVERYTHING!
  • She doesn't do very well in the sleeping-through-the-night department right now. I usually get to see her at least once during those wee hours of the morn.
We are so thrilled to watch sweet Violet grow and change, nearly every day. She brings such joy to our lives!
