Say cheese!

Yesterday we took Violet to her first Rockies Photo Day. She preferred to look at the cute baseball players instead of the camera, but we got a couple good ones. Cross that one off!

In less exciting progress, I talked with Scott about a move to Minnesota - but unfortunately it was about how due to certain family dynamics right now that I DON'T want to move back to Minnesota. Pretty bad if it's going to make me change my mind, right? Yep.

Milk!

We finally have successful use of Violet's first sign - "milk" - which she can also say, though it sounds like the hard K sound "kuh". We're working on some other signs too: mommy, daddy, kitty, gentle, more, thank you and all done. But we'll get to those in time.

On a sad (to mommy) note, I also enrolled her in day care. She'll start at a wonderful home daycare on September 21st, half a week after she turns one. I feel 100% comfortable with this daycare, but it also means I am back to work 5 days a week and our mommy/Violet time on Wednesdays will be over.

*ducks and covers*

Ok, I did it. I was able to listen to REALLY LOUD thunder without covering my ears. Mainly because I am at work at the group home and would look like a big baby if I didn't.

I also finished book #2 this week - "Most Likely To Die", a thriller I picked up from a friend at the garage sale last weekend. Not a horrible read - it kept my attention.
