6 months old!

Violet passed the 6 month old mark on Thursday. It was a big week for her. She completed her final music class (until September). Here is Violet and her music class friends...

 

Uma, Avery, Violet & Tyler
She got an "award of excellence" in her swimming class which she took from the teacher and then proceeded to eat. :)

She also graduated from our New Mom/Baby group that we had been going to almost every Friday since she was 4 weeks old. She got to wear a graduation cap and everything!

It is amazing that she is 6 months old. As I reflect back on the past 6 months it is really impressive how much change has already gone on with her (and me as a Mom). Here she is in her very first minute of life...

 

And now, she sits completely unassisted, laughs, smiles all the time, is starting to recognize words we say, rolls all over the place and so much more. Here is her on her 6 month birthday...

 

And for me, in six months, I finally feel like a "real" Mom. I feel confident (mostly) and really happy to know her. She lights up my life.
