Tuesday night I thought I would try brown rice cereal for the first time, even though she wasn't feeling the best still. She wasn't quite sure what to think of it. 
Not long after pictures were taken she threw up everywhere! She went straight in the bath, her things went in the washing machine. I'm a little unsure when I will try rice cereal again after this incident. Violet does appear to be getting better though. Yeah! 
Violet is VERY social and likes to be around the family as much as possible. She has to have attention and rarely likes being on her own. She can be pretty fussy at times because she doesn't like napping. She'd much rather be awake visiting. Sometimes it is hard to get her to eat as well, because of course she'd rather see what is going on around her. She can be especially upset around others outside the immediate family including aunts and grandmothers. Can you tell she has become somewhat high maintenance?
Violet still sleeps best on my lap during the day. She sleeps pretty well at night when she is swaddled and in her crib. For now during the day I've gotten used to her looking like this. On occasion I can get her to nap other places. 
Violet can be pretty giggly at times and everyone tries to get her to laugh. She is also becoming interested in toys. She can reach out for things and her coordination is really improving. Right now she likes sitting in her rocker and pulling a toy which will play the ABC song. She will pull it over, and over, and over....
Even though Violet is a lot of work, I still absolutely adore her. 
Everyone hung out after a busy morning of cleaning. 
She got wonderful presents from everyone from Webkinz, stuffed animals, princesses, Legos, nail polish, clothes, books, movies, and a PS3 game (Little Big Planet). 
We all had a great time hanging out with family. I can't believe Adelle is already 6! 
On Tuesday (her birthday) she wore a special birthday outfit. She got to bring and read her favorite book to her class. She chose the Bernstein Bears book on Manners because she felt her class could use the lesson. 
On Wednesday she brought pink frosted, sugar cookies. On Thursday she brought back a questionnaire that we had filled out. I wish I would have made a copy of it. Friday she brought her special bear Coco for show and tell. She felt pretty special and had a blast!
Thanks Aunt Kathy! 
I love the spit string :) While I was at work today and while Wes was in the other room the girls say they witnessed Violet roll over in her crib onto her stomach and then back on her back. She would choose a time when neither of her parents are present. Wes said he heard a very loud cheer from the girls when he was in the other room. My baby is growing up so fast. **Sigh**
We had a hard time getting Violet to smile for the camera. 
You have to love all that girly goodness :) I am hoping to get a more professional photo shoot of the girls in their outfits sometime soon. Hopefully I can keep them spotless before then.
I set some ground rules before we left. There would be no whining, crying, or coaxing younger sisters to go on rides that they don't want to go on. Lydia and Adelle agreed.
The girls warmed up with the scrambler and the bumper cars. 
It was a little chilly so I made sure to keep Violet warm. 
Since I couldn't leave Violet alone of course Lydia ventured on some BIG rides all on her own, including the Rocket!
Adelle was pretty brave though and decided to try some new rides including the Flying Aces. She has grown since last year and can ride much more. She usually is pretty timid, but surprisingly she decided to push her limits.
I had the greatest time watching the girls! I wasn't bored in the least standing on the side seeing my sweethearts smiling faces!
Violet got to go on her very first ride. The Merry Go Round. I don't know how I was lucky enough to snap this cute picture of Violet in her giraffe coat in front of the giraffe on the ride. She looks a little surprised :)
I love her sweet smile and her age of discovery!
What a fun adventure! Lydia decided to venture out on some of the larger rides like the swings and the Tidal Wave. Adelle decided to ride some of the smaller rides. She was itching to ride some rides alone. We got ice cream from Pioneer Village and you can see the ice cream ring around Adelle's mouth. 
The girls rode the ladybug drop together, even though Adelle is usually afraid of heights. We were all planning on going on Dracula's Castle together, but Lydia backed out at the last moment when she found out that all four of us (Violet included) couldn't fit in one car. Adelle closed her eyes and ears almost the whole time, but I had fun. Violet clung on pretty tight to my hand which was super cute. The last ride the girls rode was Adelle's biggest ride ever, The Wild Mouse. 
Don't you just love the slobber, soaked pajamas. 
We decided to make sugar cookies instead of dying eggs since the girls dyed eggs at their aunt's house a few days earlier. They loved trying to roll the dough, cutting out fun Easter shapes and frosting them.
