1 Month Old!!

Yesterday was Violet's one month (4 week) birthday!! I can't believe she has been with us for 4 weeks already! It has really flown by!! I also feel like we've adjusted really well and settled into our new life as a family of 4:).

Normally I take her picture by the frog, like I always did with McCoy. BUT, while I was trying (and failing) to get her propped up just right, make sure her bow stayed in the right place, and snap a picture of her at the same time, I decided it was too much work! Also, Violet had a little spit-up mishap on her outfit so I feel like that was her way of telling me she wanted to shake things up;). So, I've decided to move the weekly picture taking into her chair by her adorable name pillow. Much better scenery for a sweet little girl:). But old habits die hard, so I've still got a pic with the frog to compare with McCoy's...couldn't help myself!!

4 weeks old!!

Eyes wide open!!

...and that's enought mom!!!

Violet is still a really good baby. We haven't had any long stretches of sleeping in the night, but I really can't complain since she's been so content. She still sleeps A LOT, though!! I'm enjoying being able to get things done, but would also love to have some more play time with her. And I think her big brother would too;)!! Oh and her favorite place to sleep is her swing. She loves it!! And at night, she sleeps in the bed with me:). She's still not a fan of the paci, even though I've tried. I just keep telling myself, if she never gets attached it's just one less thing we'll have to take away at some point. She still wears one preemie outfit and mostly newborn clothes. There are a couple 0-3 mth things that she can wear, but not much!! She's also still in the NB diapers. Such a little girl! It's still strange for me to look at her and think that McCoy was bigger than her when he was born!!! She makes lots of noises in her sleep and tends to grunt at night when she's trying to fall back to sleep. It's pretty cute to listen to. She loves to be held. Oh, and I have also gotten a couple of smiles out of her:)! Her first one was last Thursday and her second was yesterday. I think she might've just done it so I would get out of her face with my goofy grin;). No pictures yet, but I'm hoping she starts smiling more often soon. I love to watch her smiles in her sleep!

Both of my babies at 1 month!

McCoy is still doing really great with her. I get a little nervous because he wants to kiss or hug her all the time, but I love how much he loves her!! Since she's been born, I just feel like he's turning into such a big boy:). It has also really made me cherish my alone time with him so much more!! On Tuesday, McCoy started the summer MDO program. He was so excited to get back and see all his friends!!

Had to bring his baseball cap!!

Can you tell he's excited???
