Violet at 4 months

Violet is four months old today!!! I can't believe it. She is slowing down her pace with gaining weight, though. She must know it is killing me to see her getting big so quickly.

She is really gaining a personality, and it is a very sweet one. You can just see it in her eyes, too. Unlike her older sister who's eyes have always been mischievous. She loves when we talk to her. I will set her up on the counter in the bumbo while I cook, and she will just talk and talk to me the whole time. She also gets really mad if I walk off from her while she is mid-sentence. This one does not tolerate rudeness.

I think she officially is over being swaddled which is making getting her down for bed a little tougher. She is also rejecting the binky. So, it is just me nursing her down for every nap and bedtime. I will enjoy it, though, since she is our last. It is just some great one on one time for us to be peaceful with one another. At least she is an amazing sleeper at night. She goes anywhere from five to eight hours in one stretch. AMAZING...

Violet is very near sitting well on her own. She can hold herself up for a few moments before going down. She gets herself too excited and loses control. She is also rolling really well. She is pretty near going from her back to her tummy. I have a feeling she will be off once she really figures it out.

Anyway, here a few shots of her I got this afternoon. She is just too precious. And do you notice her "blue steel" in the second pic?
