Happy 2nd Birthday Violet!

This girl is 2 going on 12!  She is such a joy in our lives.  She has taken on the role of family clown and loves whenever people are laughing.  She is advancing quickly with her gross motor skills- she can jump with both feet off the floor, open doors, throw and kick balls, and run like there's no tomorrow.  Her verbal skills are getting better- we have added many words, including all sister's names and most of her favorite foods.  She is still behind, but with her advanced gross motor skills, I figure she just isn't concentrating on communication much!  She loves her routines and insists on rocking with mom every night before bed, with her baby in arms, of course.  She can really get into trouble- better than all the others combined- whether it be electronics, food, makeup, nail polish, or juice, this girl can make an award worthy mess!  But she can also melt your heart with her spontaneous hugs, cute smiles, or hilarious antics.  Happy birthday Miss V!
