4 Weeks

I can not believe that our little Violet is now 4 weeks old. Wow! time is just flying by ... every day she looks a little bit bigger - so that is what everyone means by "Don't wish this stage away - they grow up so fast". Violet has started to let us sleep longer in the evenings about a 4-6 hour time frames. I am defiantly thankful for this extra sleep - this helps me not feel like zombie mommy during the day. John & I are defiantly learning the art of patience with a fussy baby - we have a feeling she is going through a growth spurt along with being a little gassy. When she is not fussy she has been sharing her adorable smiles with us (*I will post a pic of her doing it - one of these days) She is very alert and likes to follow my voice by turning her head in my direction as I walk around her room. She has also started to become a little more vocal by cooing during her diaper changing. Despite the crying and lack of sleep I am enjoying being a mommy!

We do have to send out a BIG.... "Thank You!" to Grandma & Grandpa Bartels for babysitting both Lucy and Violet on New Year's Eve. It gave us the opportunity to go out to a nice dinner with friends & also to a friend's New Year party. It still ended up being an early evening for us - we are "too old" to stay out that late - but still a great night out!

That is it for now - Happy New Year!
