2 months!

Some things I want to remember about 2 month Violet...

- At her 2 month well check a few days ago she was 23" long (75th percentile) and 12 lbs 4 oz (90th percentile!). I  had no idea! Miss Penny was always 15th or 20th in weight, where did this chunky baby come from??
- Obviously, still a good little nurser. Although once in a while she does this super fun projectile vomiting thing...
- Favorite place to nap is her carseat. I swear that thing has magical powers. No matter how fussy she is, if I place her in there (with a soft blanket underneath her to prevent a flat spot on her noggin) she always falls asleep.
- Speaking of sleeping, about a week ago she started sleeping 6 or 7 hours a night! IT. IS. FABULOUS. We'll put her down around 10pm and she'll usually sleep until 5 or 6am. I feel like a whole new woman haha.
- Such a happy baby! She smiles all the time now and when I start talking to her, she makes these little cooing sounds back at me. This is my FAVORITE. It's so fun when they start interacting with you.

Penny is so great with her baby sister. She likes to bring her toys, and whenever I turn around she's there holding Violet's hand. Especially if Violet's fussing, Penny will come over and hold her hand and say "Shhh, it's okay baby sister." Is it so sweet. And she's really great about playing quietly when I ask her to do so because Violet's sleeping, which is so nice. I can't wait until Violet's old enough and they can play together. But I am loving my baby Violet so of course I don't want the time to go too fast. :)
