3 months!

my newborn isn't a newborn anymore.
she's a legit baby.
she smiles, giggles, and has little baby conversations.
she thinks her fist is an ice cream cone.
she loves to look at herself in the mirror,
and she loves playing with toys.
she loves to watch the world,
and she loves to stand up (with help of course).

she is too much fun!
here are her 3 month photos.
i'm so glad she doesn't mind a camera in her face!

january instagrams.

since we had a baby i've been getting a lot of use out of my iphone,
taking photos of all the ordinary yet special moments
that happen on a daily basis.
aka...lots of photos of baby violet!
and let's admit...lots of photos of food too :)

last week i went back to ballet, after a very long hiatus.

i'm super excited about it!

antique baby blessing gown.

this gown is over 100 years old and is handmade.
it was given to violet by her nana's best friend, marsha.
i cried when i opened it at the baby shower.
so special! i just love the lace detailing!
it didn't quite fit violet when we were ready to bless her,
but it will forever be a family heirloom.

i just realized,

 i never shared photos from the baby shower that will's mom's friends threw.

it was gorgeous! every little detail was so special.

it was pink & white themed, and we had asian food :)

 loved the cute pink lemonade bottles.

 the candy bar was adorable!

 here i am opening the blessing gown gift!

 the wonderful ladies who hosted the shower.

 me and violet's nanas.

they really spoiled violet and me!
