Our latest walker, Violet spent summer 2024 crawling around
The beach at Nags Head was a blast, but an active, crawling 1 year old is always covered in sand head to toe. Violet loves a pair of goggles worn on the forehead.
Starting to learn to walk with a walker. Lots of chearing from the sidelines by siblings.
Violet loved to crawl into dad’s lap at work and wear headphones.
Violet learned to fend for herself and find snacks. On multiple occasions, she’d find Maggie upstairs carrying a bowl and a bag of chips.
Violet (with Bowman and Sadie) loved a cup of morning coffee… heavy on the crème.
Adorable baby who loved rocking sunglasses!
From a young age Violet loved sucking on two fingers, and it continues when she’s tired.
