March Fun

Hello dear friends and family. We have had a wonderful month and Violet is growing so quickly! We can't believe she is already 5 and a 1/2 months old! She is such a wonderful baby. Full of loving smiles and she is now laughing with a haha instead of a squeal. Although she still loves to squeal too. She has a new favorite pastime....sucking on her toes. :) She very rarely has bare feet so when she does she puts them straight in her mouth. She has also started napping in her own bed. She still sleeps with us at night in our bed but she is gradually getting used to sleeping by herself. It makes me so pleased to see her developing her independence but sad at the same time that she doesn't need me as much as she used to. Today she even stayed in her crib after waking with out crying. She is sleeping longer at night too.
Well here are some pics from this month.We love you all!

Baby Wearing

I love to wear Violet in a sling. I feel so close to her and I know she loves it too. She becomes so relaxed. She can feel my heartbeat and I hers. She can feel each breath I take and I can feel hers. She can smell the scent of me and the milk God has graciously granted me to nourish her with. And I can smell the top of her precious head. Motherhood is an amazing thing.

I also love to see men wearing babies too. Especially when it's our baby and her daddy (my two loves)!

Hinamatsuri
