First Trip!

We took Violet on her first roadtrip this past weekend! We drove to Arlington, WA to her uncle Mike & aunt Stacey's wedding. Violet also got to meet her aunts, uncles and cousins from New York and Florida. We all had a fantastic time and wished the family lived closer.

Violet was an angel in the car. She slept the majority of the time and woke up only to eat.. then back off to sleep. The wedding was beautiful but incredibly hot so Violet only wore a onesie! Lucky girl. Poor John was in a tux!!

We got home on Sunday where it was over 100 degrees!!! And the next day Violet had to go in for her first set of shots. POOR BABY! She screamed and her face turned purple! Definitely not a fun experience for her or us. So far she has handled them pretty well.. I think she had a slight fever this morning and wanted to be held all day.

We're all pretty darn tired at our house. I think we're off right now to walk the (neglected) dogs. Love to you all.

Isn't She Cute!

Violet is 8 weeks old and she weighs well over 10lbs! She caught her first cold 2 weeks ago, which was not fun at all. She wasn't allowed to take any medicine, just got saline solution up her nose! YUCK. She definitely turned into a CRANKY baby. I was thanking god that it was a cold and not a late onset of colic symptoms. She's feeling quite better now with just a slight lingering of a stuffy nose.

She loves to smile and mimic our facial expressions. It's amazing, I swear she's the smartest baby on the planet! :) She's also started to "talk" a bit as well. We went and had a picnic at a park the other day. It was great fun and Violet got to try the baby bjorn face out!

She really likes to have alone time in her crib throughout the day. I put her sheep in there and she instantly put her arm around it! No joke. So cute!

Well, she's in her swing right now and beginning to fuss... at least she gave me 5 mins to type this.

Love to you all!
Stacie, John & Lady Vi
