Violet Ann Lay was born January 25th, 2011 at 12:37 pm.
Violet was 21 inches long and 8 lbs 15 ounces. The nurse at the hospital originally told us that she was 23 inches long, but she didn't measure very carefully.
We blessed Violet April 10, 2011. It was nice to have most of the family here.
Our friend Krista came and took pictures of Violet in her blessing dress a couple of days before the blessing.

In July, we went down to Saint George for my cousin, Laura's, wedding. Betweeen the wedding luncheon and the reception we took violet swimming for the first time. 
Jaxson also had a great time spending time in the pool. He loves spending time with his cousins and swimming. That day was a great day because he got to do both.
Violet did really well traveling. 
We stopped by the St. George temple before we headed home.
On our way home, we stopped by Kay and Lee's. We always talk about going down to Fillmore and seeing them, but it has been a while since we have made it, so we figured that if we are passing by, we have to stop.
Since then Violet has continued to grow. She has started sitting up, and loves to play with her toys. She will lung forward to grab anything within reach, or even grab things that are just out of reach.
We love our little girl so much. She is growing up so quickly.
