Summer is here!

Violet is excited for the summer. We tried on some of her new clothes from her birthday and even went swimming. Our neighbor let Violet borrow a cool floating device.

Piggy Bank

Violet loves her piggy bank and has gathered quite the collection of coins. Recently, Violet discovered the bigger hole on the bottom of her piggy bank and decided she liked that one better.

Violet's first big fall...

Unfortunately, our HOA doesn't think our sidewalks have yet reached the "unsafe" status. Thus, all in front of our townhouse is the rockiest sidewalk you will ever come across. Poor Violet was playing with our neighbor Autumn and fell planting her face into the rocks and cutting her lip. As a new mother, I panicked when I saw all the blood, grabbed wet paper towels, and called David to come home (thinking she would need to go get stitches). Luckily, it wasn't that severe and all part of Violet's plan to get her daddy home a little early.

Violet the Tool Gal Truscott

Violet decided to fix her pony. She really would not let me help her change the batteries. She's so independent already. We also had her 12 month check up. She is a healthy one. Her height in the 80th percentile and her weight in the 25th percentile (that dropped a little due to her recent walking and little sickness- so don't be alarmed!).

Violet turns one!

This weekend was incredibly eventful with David flying to Boston, Violet turning one year old and having a party at the park, and worse of all, Violet getting a high fever. I've enjoyed reading my sister's blog so many times and feeling more a part of her life (although she lives too many miles away!) that I decided to join the world of the bloggers.

So fellow bloggers, friends, and family, please enjoy the tantalizing Truscotts and all their many adventures!
