Trying to snap better pics with my portrait lens but the baby moves at lightning speed. By move, I mean she wiggles nonstop. She seems content with not being able to crawl yet.

Cool shades

She kept them on long enough for this picture. No purchase necessary.

Selfishly...

I carry Violet around every chance I get. It's the only way I can get her to cuddle with me. She prefers the stroller because she gets to see everything, prop her feet up on the tray, and lean back. But I don't care! She's growing up too fast and my back will soon give in to all 25 lbs of her.

Violet totally poses for the camera.

That head is finally growing out some fuzz. But the bald spot in the back of her head is still there. I'm starting to think it will never go away!

Working from home

Look at those chubby little fingers (Violet's, not Jon's) typing away...

New favorite hat on our favorite girl

Look at these cuuuuuute little teeth!

Videos of the baby

Embedding videos on blogger is not my strong suit so here they are on YouTube:

I am THAT parent...

...who brings a camera to her child's every well check appointment. I just can't imagine not capturing these moments. Some pictures didn't make the cut, not because I don't want to show you, but because I'm not so sure about posting fully naked pics of my baby on the Internet.

Happy 6 months, sweetheart!
