Violet Mae turns 10 months!

So I realize these are a little late but I have had a busy summer and am still playing catch up with the blog! In just three short days my little baby turns 11 months (sniff, sniff). But this post is dedicated to all the fun things she did in her 9 month of life. On August 16th Violet Mae turned 10 months. At 9 months, 15 days old she started scaling the furniture. I predict she will take her first steps around her birthday. Here is a snapshot of month 9 of Violet Mae's life.

We love you little V!

Family trip Oceanside August 2012

In August we went on a family vacation with James's dad, brother and sister. We stayed right across the street from the Oceanside pier. The surfing was great for James and Patrick, and the boardwalk was fun for the kids. Lots of parks and food vendors. We even made smores at one of the bonfires on the beach. 

On the way home we spent the day in Santa Monica riding the carousel and the ferris wheel. The girls love it. Check out the pics!
