2 Weeks Old

Yesterday marked Violet's 2 week birthday!! I started a tradition with McCoy of taking his picture in front of his frog the first few weeks and then I moved it to monthly. I want to do the same thing with Violet so I'll be able to compare. However, McCoy was in the mood to hold Violet for longer than 5 seconds and have his picture taken so I had to take advantage of that:).
Here are her 2 week pictures...

McCoy 3 1/2 and Violet 2 weeks

He LOVES his baby sister! MUAH!

McCoy at 2 weeks-Definitely going to need a pic of Miss Violet by herself so I can compare!

At 2 weeks, Violet has been an amazing baby! She is so content, nurses well, and has even started taking a bottle before bed. I introduced McCoy to a bottle early too, mainly because I wanted to make sure he would take one. I was a little nervous about Violet taking a bottle because she's not a huge fan of the paci, but she did great! It also helped her sleep a little better that night, which is always a plus for Mommy;)!! She's still a little bitty thing and wears preemie clothes. She has some newborn things that are a little big but they work! Violet is sleeping in the bed with me just like McCoy did. I know, I know but it's just easier and I love having her close! We've borrowed a sleep positioner from a friend so she has her own space and we're not nervous about her moving too much in the night. She has been a little bit more alert during the day but is still in the sleepy phase. She has her next dr's appt next week and I can't wait to see what she weighs!

Violet's first bottle!

And for a McCoy update... He is having a great summer and just loving playing outside all the time! His favorite things to do are play basketball, golf, and baseball. He also loves riding his bike and swinging in the backyard. He's really gotten into taking Kirk's IPod outside and listening to music while he eats his lunch or dinner or blows bubbles. His favorite song on the IPod is Chicken Fried by the Zac Brown Band. He knows every word and sings it LOUDLY!! I love listening to him:)!!

And what does the Little Princess do while we're outside...

She naps!!

Sweet girl! Love that face:)

Violet's favorite place to nap is in her stroller in the shade or in front of a fan we keep on our deck. She LOVES to be outside just as much as her big brother does;)
