Violet is 2 Months Old

Violet is 2 months old now. She had her two month appointment yesterday. She got 3 shots! Poor girl. She is already 12 pounds 2 ounces and 24 inches long. She is growing and changing practically every day.
She loves her jungle baby gym that we purchased a little while ago. She used to just lay under the gym, but now she is starting to stretch out her arms towards toys. She coos and looks at the lights and has a grand time.

She loves it when her daddy and others in the family read to her. Last night Wes and Violet read 12 small books and she was content. Violet will reach out and touch her daddy while he reads and will try and talk.
She is sleeping pretty well. She will only walk up once in the night. One night she actually slept for 10 hours straight. It was quite a surprise and I actually checked on her at one point and found her peacefully sleeping.
She loves it when someone talks cheerfully to her. She will give you a huge smile and try to talk back. She is especially social and happy in the morning.
If Violet gets fussy sometimes she likes to lay on her tummy on my lap. I will pat or rub her back and it will help calm her down.
Lydia and Adelle still adore their little sister and enjoy finding ways to get her to smile.
We just love little Violet and can't imagine life without her.

I think she is starting to look more like Adelle. She is so beautiful and Wes is a great dad to read to her. I'm sure they will form a special bond as a result! ...j
