Violet's second month of life was relatively quiet and went by fast. She is getting stronger thanks in part to Will's regimen of baby gymnastics. Here she is below standing...
Doing baby pull-ups...
And holding her head up enough to sit by herself on the couch.
Holding her head up is quite a feat, considering the cheeks she is sporting.
Violet finally met her Great Grandma J. this past month and enjoyed snuggles with her.
And Violet of course enjoyed snuggles with her big sisters all month long. The bottom picture in the below photo collage shows Violet's feet next to one of Emma's.
Violet is starting to show more of her personality. She doesn't like to be left alone - awake or sleeping, and she is following in her big sisters footsteps more and more when it comes to sleep - or the lack there of. In the below photo collage, I snapped a picture of Will yawning while trying to get Violet to sleep one night, and the right two photos Emma snapped of Violet and me, unawares. Sorry if my yawn looks a bit scary. It is the real deal of what I look like when sleep deprived. I usually delete unflattering pictures of myself (it's my camera, my prerogative!) however I just had to keep the one of me yawning as it was a true candid shot that sums up my life right now.
Because of Violet's distaste for being alone and for sleeping, I have resorted to carrying her around in a baby wrap for as long as my back will allow me. Fortunately, this is enough time for me to get some things done around the house with the older girls and Violet has been known to take naps in this wrap for up to four hours at a time. Will doesn't wear the pink baby wrap, but somehow is capable of multitasking one-handed.
Here Will is below, holding Violet who is in fact sleeping. She likes to sleep with her eyes half open which is kind of disturbing to see, and loves holding on to her pacifier like Popeye the Sailor Man holds his pipe.
Violet, you are such a sweet, social girl and we love you!
