You had a busy week this week! It started off by you turning seven months old! We all can't believe it. Time is going by so quickly! I wish I could freeze time and keep you a baby for a bit longer. Your Nana always said, "Enjoy every age," and she's right! We are enjoying every day and every age, in every way! Your dad and I are going to soak up each minute of seven months!
Your seven month photo session with Aspen the penguin was a challenge. You kept wanting to take the blocks, so I had to get creative...
This week you also got some special Daddy-Daughter time, and Mommy-Daughter time! While I was at work one day, Dad took you to the park. You absolutely LOVE the feeling of the grass on your feet. You just sit and move your feet back and forth. Your Grandma came by the park to play, too! Peek-a-boo is your new favorite game, and you use a blanket to cover your face, and then drop it down. We all act surprised and say "Peek-a-boo!" Your dad says, "Peek-Peek!"
On Wednesday, you and I went to the Murrieta Public Library for the first time! I got a library card for us, until you're big enough to get your own. We sat on the carpet and read stories and picked out a few board books to bring home. Everyone at the library fawned all over you! They said you were the cutest baby, and they were right! We put your library books in your monogramed library bag, my friend Lindsey Orrel got you at my shower! We will go again soon!
This weekend was the best! We packed up the car and headed down to Nana and Poppy's house in San Diego! It was Violet's eighth birthday celebration with the family. When we arrived, your cousin Felix was napping, so Violet had to wait to open her presents. It was hard to be patient, but Felix finally woke up! Nana and Poppy gave Violet her first pair of roller skates! We gave Violet a snorkel set!
We didn't want Felix to feel completely left out, so we had a surprise for him too! That morning when we were on a walk, our neighbors were having a garage sale. I found a drum and bought it for five dollars! It was a hit with your musical cousin.
Your dad brought his new guitar along, so he could have a jam session with Fi. The name of their band is "The Felixes."
Your cousins just wanted to stay at Nana and Poppy's to play, so we took our picnic blanket to the backyard. We relaxed and watch Violet try out her new skates, and Felix "garden" with the watering can and sunflower seeds.
Violet has been very into Harry Potter this last year, so Nana made her a Harry Potter cake! We all sang "Happy Birthday!" I can't explain your Poppy's face! :)
One of the things I love most in this life, is time with family. Your Nana and Poppy instilled that in Auntie and I by creating such a loving home. Just writing about our weekend makes me feel so blessed and thankful. I hope you think that about time with our family when you're older too...after your teen years of course!
Love,
Mom Mom
