Violet Turns One

Our little girl turned one last week! On her actual birthday, we had her favorite dinner, spaghetti and bread sticks, and gave her one of her presents, a water bottle. She thinks it's the best thing in the world.

Oh, yeah, we also got immunizations. That part, not so fun.

Last night when we celebrated with grandparents she took her very first steps for everyone to see! She took about six steps on her very own to daddy. Unfortunately, it was so spontaneous that I didn't have the camera ready. Oh well. It was a nice surprise for everyone. We also presented her with foam curlers and clips to keep that crazy hair out of her eyes. I know it looks like we just let her hair go free like a wild-child, but she just pulls everything out (even elastics) and sticks them in her mouth. Sigh...

We love this little princess, with her cheesy grin and long locks of hair. She just melts our hearts.
