Monday's Child

14 Weeks

Based on our inexact measurements, Violet is around 14 pounds and 23 inches now.

Drool central! I've gotten to the point where I might as well put a bib on her  24-7. It's really out of control. What's the point of cute clothes when they're either a) covered in drool, or b) covered by a bib that's covered in drool? But she looks happy enough.

If you like it then you better put a bib on it.

These days Violet is rockin' the Bumbo. She went from being a droopy rag doll whenever I'd put her in it to sitting up straight and tall. She's also reaching for things. Miss K next door (seriously, she is earning the stars in her crown in heaven) gave us a bunch of toys her kiddo has grown out of and Violet went nuts. Her entire body goes rigid and she fiercely stares down the object in front of her, then she'll lunge for it with everything she's got. The control over her hands still isn't the best, she can't exactly get them to go where she wants them to. It frustrates her and she starts talking up a storm as her arms struggle to move in the right direction. It's awesome. You can tell she is trying so hard. So apparently I need to go buy her some more toys. She's been bored since all she's had to look at is my face and some Law and Order reruns. The playmat is so yesterday, she's been trying to tell me. Toys and more bibs are on the shopping list, it looks like.
