BIG HEAD

I thought I'd better get a picture of Violet in this outfit before her head out grew the hat. This sweater and bonnet were mine so that makes them 32 years old. Grandma Verble made them for me and I'd have to say it's held up really well. Unfortunately it's really to warm to wear the bonnet and by this fall her head will be way to big for it. I may be able to use the sweater then, it's actually a little big.
Of course she wasn't cooperating with me today and just wanted to sleep. As you can see in the second photo, her hair is really starting to grow back.

SCARRY METAL BABY FURNITURE

I love old ads like these. What is that crazy contraption all the way to the right. It looks like a cross between a bouncer and a highchair. I actually grew up with a playpen like that. I turned out fine. I wish they still made something like that. I think the Pack-n-Plays are stupid. I already barely use mine it just seems like a little cage to me. It did come in handy the first 6 weeks but I haven't really used it since.

COINCIDENCE

TWO MONTH CHECKUP

Violet's 2 month checkup was this morning. She now weighs 12lb 5oz putting her in the 90%. She is 24 in long putting her in the 95% and her head measures 40cm around putting her in the 80%. She had all of her shots today too. She wasn't to happy getting those. She screamed like I've never seen. Turning bright red and crying really hard. But it didn't last long. I got her calmed down, dressed her and put her in her car seat and within minutes she was asleep. I think she just wore herself out.
I'm still amazed at length. She's just about out grown her 3 month pajamas. They fit fine everywhere except in length. Her feet and legs are all bunched up inside. So I'm thinking of cutting the feet off of all of them and hemming them so we can get at least another month out of them.
The doctor says everything looks great and to just keep doing what we're doing.
