Two and a half

About a week ago I mentioned to Violet that she recently turned two and a half. At the time, I think she said something like, "Oh." And that was the extent of that conversation. Well, on Friday, I took her to my company's Halloween party (everyone brings their kids and the decorations are over the top) and when one of my colleagues asked her how old she is, she answered, "two and a half." Seriously! I couldn't believe she remembered that!

First Earthquake

Violet felt her first earthquakes today. One this afternoon and one tonight - both were about 4.0. It's official, she's a California girl!

That Face

So this has quickly become known as "the picture." My dad took it a couple of weeks ago when he was here for a visit. Just look at those eyes!

Pancakes!

Ok, so I've done one posting in three days... so much for one posting a day! Oh well, this video will hopefully make up for it. It's from the same day as the last video but I had to split them up due to size of the file. Violet has discovered the deliciousness of pancakes. So whenever she is pretending to cook, she is often making pancakes.

All By Myself!

My lack of postings is pathetic. Violet has completely transformed in the past 6 months and I've done a terrible job of documenting these changes. So, I am challenging myself to post every day over the next week.

"All by myself," is something that Violet says a lot these days. She is extremely proud of all the things she can do all by herself. Pee pee in the potty? Yes, "All by myself." Grab the milk from the fridge? Yes, "All by myself." Turn on and off the lights" Yes, "All by myself." Take a shower? Yes! "All by myself!"
