Hey...look what you can do...

My good pal Stacey set me up so people can sign up to get an email when I update the blog. This will help you remember to check on us now and again...I usually only update once or twice a week, so you won't be inundated. Look at the top widget to the right! Thanks Stace!

It's official

Violet is entering a new growth spurt. She has been gaining leaps and bounds cognitively this week. Grabbing and looking at things that she never noticed before. Holding on to our faces. Getting frustrated when she can't reach or get things she wants. I'm sure she will be rolling over and sitting and getting ready to crawl any second now, well, in the next month or so anyway. She did chow down nearly 12 ounces tonight before bed. I think that might have been the source of not staying asleep today and me not getting anything done. She is HUNGRY!
A few photos from this week...
Too bad she wasn't nakid for this one. It would have been perfect!



She doesn't really bounce much yet. She is more interested in checking out the engineering of how she is being held up. That and listening to the Grandma Amy bells hanging next to her.


I found her hanging out with her daddy the other day. She wasn't exactly sitting next to him, more lounging, but they sure were cute.

Thanks Aunt Mary!

I finally figured out what this blankie is for...eating!

Violet's new buddy!

Our friends Chris and Shelley finally made it back from Texas with their new little girl, Amelia Bartlet. She is now 12 weeks old and is taking to her new family smashingly. Violet and I couldn't wait to get out to their house to meet her and congratulate the new parents. Violet is just starting to really notice other little kids and was enthralled with Amelia. We have a feeling these two are going to get into some trouble together in the future!
