Violet's 2nd Month

Violet has completely woken up this last month. She smiled a couple of times during the last 2 weeks before her 2nd month birthday but not a lot and it was always kind of sneaky. The very last 2-3 days before she turned 2 months her smile became completely social and I could consistently get her to smile at me. This month had a lot of REALITY in it. No family, no trips and a lot of naps at the house. Her older sibs were going crazy, but this mom had to adjust. It is sooooo hard to deal with my other kiddos *cough, Macy, cough* when I have such a tiny sweet baby around!!

She sleeps at least 6 hours a night if not more, she is such an angel baby! 

Davie is obsessed with her. He's not UN-gentle but he isn't careful enough and tends to jostle her more that I like. 

When she gets chunkier it won't be so bad

Sometimes (ALL the time) I feel bad for her because ALL of us are all SO incredibly loud all the time. Between her brother and sister and me talking to her brother and sister there's not a lot of peace and quiet. Thankfully Violet doesn't seem to mind.

Squish, she tends to just kind of hang out where she is put and usually falls asleep anywhere during the day.

I look tired in this picture, but I promise life has been pretty darn great!

Violet is so easy going thus far that I have to remind myself that she has a personality but that personality is just different than her siblings. With Macy I didn't realize her demanding "food now!" attitude was a reflection of what life is going to be like as she got older. 

Wait... I changed my mind, I don't want to hold her anymore.

Davie was less demanding but it still was fairly easy for him to start crying when he was a baby. Violet takes a lot longer to get herself into a tizzy. I tease with David that she tends to baulk and grunt more than cry when she is unhappy or hungry. I can't say for sure just yet, my answer will come once Violet gets mobile. The age of mobility is when Davie and Macy made it crystal clear they were going not going to miss anything... EVER.

Violet is my second baby to refuse to take a binky (I was so sad about that). I don't know what it is about those sweet little binky faces, but I was so hoping she would take one! She is also my least dependent on swaddling. Davie was the most for almost 18 months, then Macy for about 9-12 months and Violet already sleeps un-swaddled.... for the whole night! I still swaddle her, but if she gets out I don't worry. She is still great at diaper changes. Seriously, this baby loves a fresh diaper! Which is incredibly foreign to me since both her siblings HATED that.

The first of MANY matching outfits.

We potty trained Macy this month so now Violet is the only bum I'm changing! Hurray! Turns out newborn/ little baby diapers aren't that bad. 

Snuggles

This was shortly after I moved her straps on her carseat up. Look at that hair! Everyone comments on it. Especially out in public and even more so when/if they see Davie and Macy's blonde little heads of hair. It's funny because she looks a lot like Davie did, only he lost his hair around 3/4 months. I think Violet has managed to keep hers thicker and darker for about a month longer already.

The only exception to her sweet easy going self seems to be in the evenings when she struggles with bubbles in her tummy. I'm not sure what it is about my girls but they both have struggled with that. I think Violet is possibly affected by my caffeine intake, which is not a lot to start with, so I've tried my best to just not drink any. I'm still on the fence as to whether or not dairy bugs her. If it is dairy I really think it's just ice cream. But based on all I have read and David's thoughts on the subject it's incredibly hard to prove that, so who knows.

She's pretty patient with me, but she does tend to be more fussy with David. He teases on a daily basis that Violet doesn't like him. Which is kind of true. 

Violet finally got too big for her newborn clothes this month and has been wearing mostly size 1 diapers. But she wore both about 2-3 weeks longer than Davie or Macy. Like I've said before she's just our delicate little flower.
