ROAR

i feel like this feisty outfit is most appropriate for our little monster baby. everyone always told me i would not get lucky twice. apparently they were/are right. olivia was basically a dream baby. she just did whatever little schedule i thought she should do and slept through the night like a champ in no time. she still loves her naps and bedtime and never gives me any problem about going down... although recently, sometimes i hear her playing in her bed for like an hour after i put her down, even though i know she's tired? whatever.

anyway, this cute little beast has cried more already than olivia probably did in her first 4 months of life. she goes from 0 to 60 in like 1 second too, so i'm always hurrying to get her quiet so that it doesn't set olivia off, or wake her up, if it's late at night. violet is definitely testing my patience but it IS dying down a little bit... she is starting to look a lot different too, now that she has gained a couple pounds. her eyes are still SO dark though. we can't tell if they'll be brown or green. definitely no baby blues like olivia. maybe violet will get the mckinnon curls then, since at this point, olivia's hair could not be straighter and thicker and more lion's mane-ish. i've been keeping it down the past few days (i normally pull it back because it makes me crazy when it's in her face) because i seriously think it acts like a little beanie and keeps her ears warm in the cold! when violet's gets wet, it does get a little frizzy curl action happening, but i would think it's too early to tell. who knows.

anyway, happy one month (on saturday) birthday little baby sister! how about we get a little more sleep during month #2 mmmmmkay??

Look at her! Wow, she is so cute, but she looks completely different from Olivia. Still loving the name, BTW.

Sorry about the sleep thing. Makes you crazy doesn't it? Eliza is getting up a lot these days and i have no brain cells left. I taught sunday school today and seriously couldn't even finish a sentence because my brain was so seriously fried.

Good luck with your two little cuties. I hope to meet them both someday soon!
