She works hard, she plays hard...April and May

The end of April brought a visit from my folks, Grammy Pat and Papa Walt...somehow I have no photos of them, I think my camera was lost for a time, and we used Ken's, so I will have to find them when I get back. Most of the month of May, Ken and I have been working nonstop trying to get the house ready for sale. You can see some of the mess in the house around us. We are noticing a lot of changes in Violet's awareness, and her personality and will coming out. She spent a lot of the month nodding emphatically, one up one down, but has now learned to shake her head "no" which is sad. She was so accommodating only saying yes. She also has more hair, and more curls coming in every day. Right now she looks a bit like Art Garfunkle, with the rim of flyaway curls, and not much on top. Hopefully that will change soon.
Enjoy!

Bathing beauty

I know...another bath? I just can't resist. We put her in the sink as the bathtub is hard to get to for our old aching bodies. She likes it. Oh, and the last slide shows you how curly her top is getting.

Zoooooo trip

Ok, so we went to the zoo for the first time, as I mentioned. And here are the images worth mentioning from that. She really didn't much get looking at the animals, except for the meerkats. Which I can't find the photo of...must be on Ken's camera. Maybe this time next year she will be more into it.
At least she looked cute in her sun hat (made by a friend of Ken's mom) and her elephant outfit. Which you can only barely see in the photo of her riding on Ken...the small red detail is a line of elephants...
