Look who can STAND UP!!

Yes sir-eee, Violet has officially PULLED TO STAND!! She is so funny, she did it a few times over the last few days, but now it's ALL she wants to do! We now find her standing up in her crib hanging onto the side when she's up in the morning or up from her nap. She pulls up on the baby gates and yells for us if we are in the other room. She pulls up on things that are not all that stable, or on surfaces that are slippery (all of our wood floors!) and falls. So far, she's been a trooper! Here she is pulling up on a box:

And yes, that is a MOVING BOX she is standing up on... I'm not sure if I've posted anything on here about this although most of you already know... we're MOVING! We're packing up and heading out west to Denver to seek our fortunes. The "For Sale" sign officially goes up on our house on Saturday and we've been busy little bees painting and cleaning and fixing and packing. We are SOOO excited about the move! Send us some good house selling vibes when you get a chance!

This picture is a true testament to how many pictures I've taken of Violet - she is FINALLY starting to smile at the camera even if no one is on the other side! I took this myself and she smiled like a pro. Plus last night at dinner Jon was trying to fill up his new phone with cute Violet pictures and she was a HAM! It was really funny.
A Violet Kiss! It mostly involves me giving her a kiss while trying to evade her chomping little teeth and tongue :) Cute! Sorta.
