Meet Violet

Violet's almost been here a full month, now. It's fun to compare the similarities and differences between Violet and Jaxon when he was a baby. Violet's a good sleeper, but a LOUD one! She's quite the snorer. Travis says she snores like me. I'm not quite sure what to think about that. Should I take pride in that? Yes. I choose to take pride in that.

Her hair at the sides now reach the bottom of her ears and the back touches the bottom of what little neck she has. It's crazy. I don't even know what to do with it other than put a bow in it for Sundays. I need to start watching YouTube videos of how to do girl hair.

Maybe I just don't remember how Jaxon was at a month, but Violet seems to be a little more clingy than he was. Her cries are definitely more dramatic than Jaxon's were. After a few seconds of "normal" crying, she'll then pitch what sounds like a "drama queen" cry- like the world's going to fall apart. It's pretty sad and adorable at the same time.

Alright, I HAD to get SOMETHING purple for obvious reasons...

She's also been staying awake for longer periods during the day, which has been fun. A week or so ago, Jaxon insisted that Violet draw with him.

Remember those balloons Travis and Jaxon got for us when we got home from the hospital? We had them for a good couple of weeks because I didn't have the heart to get rid of them. So I thought it would be fun to attach a "thank you note to heaven" and let them go that way.

We've loved having a new baby in the home!
