Happy Turkey Day
This is just a quick post, b/c Violet is getting hungry! We are excited about Thanksgiving tomorrow. Violet is ready to meet some of Ev's family that she hasn't seen yet. We are going to his Nana's for breakfast bright and early and then we will spend the day at Grammy and Grandpa's. I will be missing my family in New Jersey, Cali and McKinney, I wish we all lived on the same street!! I have to go back to work this Saturday, and I am definitely not ready. I feel like the past few months have just blown by, and I can't believe V is getting so big. I will be missing her this weekend while I am working, but she will be home with daddy, so I know she will be happy. Here are some cute pics of Violet with Ev. She is so in love with daddy and gets so excited when he gets home from work. The last pic is of a cute stuffed dog that Violet loved! Hope everyone has a happy and safe Thanksgiving!

2 months part two
So, I was not able to finish my 2 month post the other day, here is a glimpse of what V is doing at 2 months:
-She is still eating great
-She has recently discovered the bumbo seat. She starts leaning to the side after a few minutes, but she has realized it is fun to be in on the action. I usually put her in the bumbo and set her on the island when I am making breakfast or washing bottles.
-She is not quite sleeping though the night. She will go about 6 hours for her long stretch, but I haven't figured out how to time her long stretch to my advantage, ha.
-She still loves bathtime and has discovered it is fun to kick her feet in the water to make splashing sounds, ha!
-She does great in the car and on outings.
-She loves her paci, but Ev and I have a love/hate relationship with it. She can't hold it in her mouth for long, so she wakes screaming when she realizes it has fallen out. It is exhausting getting up every few minutes to put it back in, and I am trying not to get in the habit of sleeping with her, but man it is so much easier to just put her in bed with me and keep my hand on the paci.
-Tummy time is not her favorite activity of the day, but she is getting so strong!
-She loves her daddy for sure! She gets so excited when she hears him, she starts breathing faster and kicking her leg.
-She smiles SO much now and I can't get enough of it! She laughed out loud for the first time today at her silly mama!
-She is wearing 3 month clothes now, I need to clean out all her newborn and 0-3 stuff to send to baby Stella. I remember feeling like she would never outgrow her newborn clothes, it makes me tear up to look at all her cute little sleep dresses that are now too small.
It is definitely feeling like winter today, it is cold and windy outside. I took V outside today all bundled up and she was so calm, she loves being outside for sure. I am trying not to think about how I have to go back to work next week. These past weeks have absolutely flown by. I have never been more tired, or exhausted, but at the same time so happy and so in love with my sweet baby! Enjoy the pics, and hope you are having a great week.
Tummy time in the boppy, which she loves!
Hanging in her bumbo.
Bathtime, check out that chin!
Violet loves her Auntie Ashley and has so much fun when she comes over to visit.

2 months
Violet had her 2 month checkup today, here are the stats: she weighs 12 lb, 5oz, and is 22 inches long. Her weight is in the 90th percentile and her height is in the 50th percentile. Dr R is happy with her growth and development, so that makes for a very happy mommy. My little pumpkin even tried to show off and was thinking about rolling over, 'atta girl! She did not, however enjoy her shots, nor did mommy, but this time daddy was there to rescue V and he made it all better for her. She has been fussy, and most of the day has been spent in my arms. She is just now taking a good nap in her swing, unfortunately it is about 5:45, but I will just go with it for now. Oops, as I sit here typing this, she is starting to fuss again, oh well, at least I have dinner made...

Birthday Fun!
Last weekend we went to Kael's 7th birthday party! It was Violet's first party to attend and she had so much fun with all her family!! Here are some fun pics of the past few weeks. If you happen to read this on or before Monday morning, please say a little prayer for us. V has her 2 month check up which means...more shots. I am definitely not looking forward to it. Hope you all have a great weekend and enjoy the beautiful weather. We are going to plant some flowers and I am finally getting my haircut tomorrow after a VERY long time!!
Vi talking to her Grandpa!
Gage couldn't get enough of Violet. He kept assuring me that his hands were "really, really clean..."
Violet's bodyguards...
Snuggle time with Kelly.
