7 months (and 1 day)!

Happy girl! All ready to go to a wedding and party it up.

The concentrated pre-crawler. She is getting quite good at moving around the house. She likes to push herself backwards and uses her hands to spin around.

Yay, Violet finally has a new favourite song! Not that we don't love "On Top of Spaghetti", but we didn't really want her to spend the first years of her life singing about carbs! Her new favourite song is much more "spiritual." LOL

This is Violet's grumpy face....it makes me laugh every time.

Our little sickling.....cuddling with her blanket and watching a video

Our poor baby had her first cold this month. She's had a cough on and off for about a couple of weeks. She didn't have a fever and she really was quite happy most of the time so we thought it was just a minor cold, or perhaps related to teething. I took her into the doctors yesterday just to make sure. The doctor said she heard some unusual noises in her lungs and she was concerned that maybe Violet had pneumonia. She sent us in for a chest x-ray....which was traumatic....probably more so for us than for her. Thank goodness Luke was with me. Only one of us was allowed into the x-ray room and Luke (thank goodness) offered to take her. They put her on this bicycle seat thing and clamped these things around her chest with her arms straight in the air. I felt so helpless waiting outside listening to Violet cry and Luke trying to calm her down. The evil x-ray man didn't do it properly and after we had gotten her dressed we had to undress her and do the whole horrible thing again! Anyways, the doctor called and let us know that she does not have pneumonia and this should pass on its on own. So if you think of it please pray that this cold passes quickly and that she never, ever gets sick again. I know it was just a cold, and I realize there will be plenty of colds and other ailments in the future, but man oh man it's not fun to see your child in discomfort.
