The real reason I wish Violet had hair.

The kid has some weird birthmarks. Seriously, the back of her head is covered with them. Luckily once she has hair you won't be able to see them. Unfortunately that may be awhile. Until then we like to play the shape game where you try to guess what they look like.

So far all we have is Australia.

This is what she was doing while I photographed the back of her head. It was the only way I could get her to stop trying to turn around and look at me.

Missing the point

Today we had a very busy day! My 4 month old has quite the active social life. We did 30 minutes of baby gym, swimsuit season is right around the corner you know. Can someone say bikini? After that we browsed through Old Navy on our endless quest to find jammies that don't have feet. Then we met up with our mommy group at the bookstore for story time. All of these would have been great picture opportunities, but I of course wait until we are at home and wearing nothing but a onsie. I just feel weird taking pictures out in public. Like everyone is watching me and wondering what in the world am I taking pictures of. Or even worse, they'll think I'm one of those moms, which I totally am, who take pictures of EVERYTHING. Maybe next trip I'll take my camera with me. Until then this is all you get. Sorry.

Getting carried away with the sepia....

Someday when Violet gets older she is going to wonder why her mommy was the only one who didn't have a camera that took color pictures...

Just Violet

Didn't get around to posting this here yesterday. I wanted to get a picture where Violet looks as close to the way she looks on a typical day. It's really hard because her face is always changing. Some days her face seems more round, her eyes more narrow, her cheeks less red. This is how she looks, at least some of the time....

Sleep

I still love watching her sleep. During the day if she notices me staring at her I am then obligated to to be entertaining. Apparently she figures if I have to time to stare at her, I have the time to do something funny. Dance mommy puppet, dance! But at night I can just watch her. I can see her smile and frown and stretch. She is just so incredibly sweet when she sleeps. And incredibly quiet too.

Tubby Time

Chillin in the tub eating my hand....life is good.

Laundry Day

Things are getting back to normal around here. And normal means laundry. Lot's of laundry. How someone who wears jammies 4 out of 7 days a week goes through so much clothes is beyond me. And I'm not talking about Violet. Looking back, I don't think I sorted it right.....
