Violet update

The top two photos here were taken May 30, so about 10 days ago, while the third was taken Monday.

It is amazing what a difference just a week makes when you're a newborn.

At six weeks old, Violet now looks less like a newborn to me and more like a regular baby, only smaller.

Her cheeks have plumped out, she has a double chin, and her baby acne is clearing up. In short, she's getting really cute!
She is growing fast - she's a solid 10 pounds and 22 inches long. At the same age, Cora was also 22 inches, but 9 1/2 pounds.

With her growth, Violet now fits just fine into her one-size diapers. The top photos show her in a one-size Flip cover, and the bottom photo she's modeling a one-size bumGenius pocket diaper. Yes, they look a bit baggy, but they don't leak at all and they'd fit Cora if I put them on her!

She's already outgrowing some of her newborn clothes, and fits into the cute outfits I bought at the consignment sale a couple of months ago.

Her eyes are still very blue, like her Daddy's.
We haven't seen a big grin yet, but she definitely gives us "happy faces," with bright, wide eyes and an upturned, happy mouth.

Last week, we had three nights where she slept from 10 or 11 until about 4, and then slept after eating until 7 or 8. We then had a few nights where she woke up twice in the night, probably spurred by the 6-week growth spurt I hear about.

Tuesday night, she slept from 10ish until 4, when I gave her the pacifier. She slept another hour, our longest night yet. I wouldn't mind this continuing!

She will get fussy in the evenings, and have trouble taking her late afternoon or evening naps.
But in general, Violet is an easy, happy baby, who already loves watching her big sister play, sing and dance. Cora continues to love helping, and it brings Stace and me such deep joy to watch them together. We are blessed!
