Violet's first "Halloween" outfit
This is Violet's first "Halloween" outfit, althought we're not really doing anything to celebrate it. No trick or treating, nothing...its just too cold, and she's too young to do anything. Dave and I could use the excuse though to get a bunch of free candy! It says "The littlest pumpkins have the biggest grins!"
Dave got Violet to smile for this picture by holding up a stuffed animal behind Maria with the camera, making it act like it was jumping around and making noises. She just thinks that is so silly and funny!I remember my mom doing the same thing with a Raggedy Andy doll. We were a bit older though, but one of my most fun memories is riding in the car and giggling out of control at my mom making us laugh with these dolls.
Violet is growing in strength and agility every day. She can speed-crawl across the room and stand up next to anything, and "cruise" along the futon or a wall, meaning she can walk along it but holding on at the same time. She is 30 1/2 in. long and 21.5 lbs.
The time change really threw things off Saturday night. She got off her schedule on Sunday (Sunday mornings are never what they should be!) and going out to eat with my parents was fun, but a bad idea because Violet was so cranky and loud. Dave eventually walked around and got her to go to sleep. Dave's mom, Martha was visiting for the weekend to see us and also sample Montage's winter seasonal pasta dish. She's taking more of an interest in food too. Yesterday she had a bowl of baby cereal, an entire container of baby sweet potatoes and some cut up pieces of toast. She's still nursing a lot. I'm trying to get out of the habit of nursing her to sleep for her naps and going to bed, especially since she's got 2 teeth, and its not healthy for her teeth to have milk sitting in her mouth when she goes to sleep because it can cause decay. So after her last feeding of the night, I take her little finger toothbrush (which she loves to play with her index finger) and brush off her two teeth before going to bed. She seems to go down easier with Dave than with me...because she's old enough to know that I can feed her and Dave can't. I guess that's a good excuse to have him put her down at nighttime! :)
