Our Little Lady


Violet is 12 weeks old today. Every day I look at her and think of what a blessing she is and can't imagine my life without her. Last week she laughed for the first time. It is truly a magical thing when you hear your baby laugh for the first time! Luckily, she laughed for Rich a few days later - so he actually believed that it had happened. ;)
Violet is very smiley lately. I love to come in and get her in the morning - she always gives me a big, bright smile and wiggles her legs to greet me. Her continuous smiling throughout the day only confirms what I've know my whole life - I am the funniest woman alive! ;)
She's gained 4 lbs and grown 2 inches since she was born and her elbows and knuckles are beginning to sport the quintessential baby dimples!
I can't wait for the next 12 weeks to see how much she grows and learns.

Pain in the bootie...





Violet received this cute little outfit from a long time friend of the family. After 11 attempts to get a snap shot of her feet with BOTH booties on, I figured the picture was blog worthy if only for my efforts. ;) Not sure why, but she looks very frightened to be sporting her little hat and shawl. Ah well. Beauty is pain (or at least a mild annoyance) at times.
