It's been awhile.
And a lot has happened.
Violet is now learning how to use her legs. All I have to do it hold onto her little hands to steady her and she's standing up on those things! It's pretty fun to see, and she gets this really silly grin on her face when she knows she accomplishing something. I think she really likes it. And I LOVE seeing her getting stronger.
Coming up this week are her shots. As her mom I think it's pretty normal for me to feel nervous about her getting them. But Cristian will be with us and hopefully she isn't too sad about it.
We've been thinking about moving. We like our apartment and we absolutely LOVE our landlord, but I think it's time we get out of the basement. We've been looking at a few houses and some newer above ground apartments and if we can swing it hopefully we'll be out in the next 6-9 months. I'd like sooner. Not really looking forward to spending another winter in that basement. It's fine for now though, and our place now certainly has it's perks. Washer and dryer, partially furnished, everything included, and it's a good place for the 3 of us now. Eventually though Violet will need her own room and I would just like some more space..bigger windows-these types of things.
Cristian's still working away at the same place.
It's been interesting. 2 weeks ago one of his good buddies from work quit to get a job in flooring. The guy who took his place used to work at a car place so he and Cristian get along great. This other friend of his who left was a little wearing on me, and I think Cristian to. He'd come home and complain and complain and complain about work and all the things that would go on there, and I know that this other coworker would do. There was a negative vibe for awhile. With this new guy I guess all they talk about all day long is cars... And Cristian comes home much happier and less stressed, which makes it a little easier on me. It's good. And I think we're both much happier without this other person bringing the mood down all the time.
My brother, his wife and my niece and nephew are coming in from North Carolina for a funeral. And while the circumstances are not ideal, it will be nice for all of them to meet my little girl! I'm so excited to show her off. And then around the beginning of August Jasmin comes home and she'll get to do the same thing. It'll be good.
I think Thursday after we run some errands we're going to go to the zoo with Violet.
More pictures soon!

Sea horse or Charlie horse?
Violet's such a little twerp! Last night Cristian and I decided to stay up late and watch a couple movies. I figured it would be fine since she wakes up every couple of hours anyways. We put her to bed around 11pm and guess what time she decided to wake up? 7am. 8 solid hours of sleep and her mom missed out because she was up till around 3am with her man. Had to happen right? Right.
It's okay though. I'm glad she had a solid sleep, and she's been great all day today. Good enough that I felt comfortable running around and getting some things done today while her grandma watched her. It was good. Laundry, dishes, vacuuming, rent, stocking up on diapers, and I even got a work out which included a good dose of sunshine. All in all, a pretty good day. Now I need to figure out something for dinner, and figure out what we're going to do with Cristian's 2 days off. We decided going down to SLC was out since we're tight on money right now (when have we not been lol), so maybe we'll do some camping somewhere around here. The only thing is getting something to repel bugs off our baby girl..... we'll see.
Wess came by early this morning to spray the outside of the house again. We seriously have the best landlord ever. It will be a sad day when we move (but hopefully that won't happen for awhile, especially if our neighbors decide to move so we can have the upstairs with a 2nd bedroom). And tomorrow after I take Cristian back to work and come out to my parents he's going to go in and spray the inside of our house. Feel pretty good about that, and we don't have to pay for it.
Tonight is Hell's Kitchen and MasterChef night at the Navas house.
And then I think for me and baby girl we're going to try and head to bed early.
We had a really fun walk yesterday where we saw ducks and flowers and played for a little bit under the shade of the trees at the middle school. Good times.
Last night Cristian spazzed out in bed.
"Honey I think I just got a sea horse"
"A sea horse?"
"Yeah a cramp"
"Oh.. you mean Charlie horse?"
"....yeah, whatever".
Man he's funny.
