Some of my favorite things...

There are a couple of really cute things Violet does.  I'm trying to document these things before she outgrows them.  The first is her "milk drunk" face.  After drinking a lot of milk, well you guessed it, she looks sort of drunk.  It's super cute and super funny.

This is a good example.



Another is the her startle reflex.  When she is asleep and is touched or hears a loud noise, she exhibits this reflex.  It goes away in a few months but it's so hysterical. 
I hope to get more and better startles on video.  It's hard not to induce it for fun.

In terms of news, Eric's good friend Jeff visited.  He's expecting his own child in a few months so we loaded him up with pointers and warned him of the level of decibels of the crying.

 
As you can tell, Violet was really excited to meet Jeff.

In other news, the ultrasound of Violet's heart was normal which is a relief.  In terms of development, she's more alert and growing much bigger.  She outgrew some of her first clothes this week.  She also tends to cry if she isn't held which pretty much prevents me from doing much of anything during the day.  In terms of sleeping, we are still waking up about every three hours at night.  Ah, but it's a labor of love.
