I'm ONE

See the finger?  She's letting you know she's one now...

What a smart girl

More Cake

And more video of the wonderful cake moment.  What you can't see in the other photos is that Violet is surrounded by everyone, and she just doesn't care, she just wants that cake.

What is this thing called "CAKE"?

If you know me at all, you know I have a major sweet tooth (look at my job- that should explain a lot).  We have been very careful with Violet with sugar, in fact I'm not sure she's really had much at all... but as you can see from the photo's below she took no time at all in devouring her birthday cake.  I eventually had to pull some of it away from her, I think she would have eaten the whole piece in one sitting.  The sweet tooth lives on.

My Friends

The first picture is from November.  Cute babies don't you think?

Here are Violet's friends 8 months later!  In exactly the same order.  They all showed up for 

Violet's special day to celebrate.  They have grown so much in that short amount of time.   Violet looks so confused, and in the end started to cry (which is exactly what she did last time, so sensitive!)

Happy Birthday

Well we made it.  One year, I think Violet is officially a toddler today.  We had a great birthday with friends and family.  I have lots of photos to share, but honestly I'm exhausted.  I have been planning this party for weeks.... I wanted it to be just perfect.  I was really excited for this special day.  So when I have some more energy tomorrow I will post the rest, for now I'm going to put my feet up and watch a cheesy movie.  Thanks to everyone who came over to celebrate, and make this day even more special.   It took a little more effort to put Violet to bed tonight, when you see the pictures of her eating cake, you will understand.  Too much sugar, for such a little baby.  I mean toddler.

Happy Birthday Violet Rae!
