I am not a consistent
blogger. I blame it on having a baby, while moving, with a toddler. But I love
to write and I think its fun to remember so if you like reading blogs I’m going
to attempt to keep up better (no promises!)
For starters, anyone who has a daughter can attest to
the fact that having a girl is, in fact, all it’s cracked up to be. As I
continue to rotate out the 3 pairs of yoga pants I own, Violet’s wardrobe
expands and grows. I realized today that I actually don’t ever think about what
I am going to wear, but I do like to play dress up with my baby doll. Now, I
don’t really spend money on her wardrobe, but I’m an avid consignment sale
shopper and so I trade out the kids clothes to get new ones as they grow. It’s
fun and affordable.
Next, Violet still feels like an infant at 4
months old. This is a good thing. Theo was in newborn clothes for exactly 2
seconds and Violet actually wore preemie clothes the first month (I have magic
prayers- I actually prayed to have a smaller baby since my chicken legs almost
snapped while I was pregnant with Theo carrying around a 9 pound baby). She is
so small and petite that I carry her everywhere and use my Moby wrap much more
than I ever did with her brother.
Violet is also much more durable then Theo. It
is probably do to her getting unintentionally nailed in the head with foam
balls all. day. long. Yes, everyone, Theo seems to have moved on from spatulas
and now loves balls. The only problem? He gets about 4 inches away from your
face before he winds up and throws them- and the kid has a pretty good arm!
Violet has been the accidental brunt of Theo’s games of catch. She also has
received far to many binkey kisses than I care to recount. Theo ADORES her and
gives her kisses all the time. The only problem being having a plastic binkey
jabbed into the side of your head is painful and uncomfortable.
I am eternally grateful to have a baby who seems
to think I hung the moon and stars. “Vi Vi” (rhymes with bye-bye) looks at me
like I am the most perfect, wonderful thing to walk the planet- and it melts my
heart. I plan on milking it for all it’s worth because Theo seems to prefer his
grandparents to parents in this stage of life.
Violet AnnMarie, you are a joy.
