Violet Tastes Spring!

Violet is almost 7 months, and she is now getting to experience the green trees and flowers of spring for the first time. Just like her brother, Violet loves to be outdoors. She is mezmerized by the noisy colorful world around her, and she is a very focused observer. She is so attentive to the world and people around her, and she engages with everyone she meets. She has such an inviting and sweet demeaner about her, that everyone loves to ask to hold her. We often have to ask for her back!
In terms of her growth, she seems to have doubled in size overnight! She consumes an outstanding amount of milk in every feeding, and we've begun to give her solids. She isn't crazy about bananas, or pears, but she likes oatmeal, and she tolerates cereal. Her arm is almost completely healed to the point that you can hardly tell which one was actually broken at birth. She is sittin up on her own now, and can roll from her belly to her back, and visa versa. She holds her head and shoulders up well during tummy time, but hasn't made any attempts at crawling yet, but it's only a matter of time now. As you can see in the picture, she stands up remarkably well, and will stay standing for a good 5 or 10 minutes (assisted of course).
Violet is in full Grammy mode, because Grammy Litsch just left after a nice weekend visit, and we are leaving tomorrow for Grammy Rechenberg's house. We can't wait to see everyone in Jersey again!
