"I've got a secret"

Last night we switched Violet to soy formula which she seems to like well enough. Jourdan fed her her first bottle and burped her; but apparently he missed a bit of a bubble cause about 15 minutes later she went all Exorcist on his shirt, his pants and the couch.

Since Violet seems to have a certain fondness of spitting up on me; Jourdan started teasing me that Violet wants to tell me a 'secret' after every bottle. He teases me that I should lean in close and listen to her 'secret'; so apparently she had a secret for daddy last night.

Violet's Favorite New Song: Hair Dryer

My friend Amy gave us a white noise CD which Violet has become quite taken with. If we walk her around while listening to her favorite music (hair dryer, laundry machine etc.) she tends to calm down and soothe herself to sleep.

I think Daft Punk has moved down in the Violet Billboard charts to be replaced by that new band Washer and Dryer.

More Pictures!

Just posted some new pictures of mama's little peach pie online here.

Feeling Sick

Since Sunday morning, I've been suffering from a pounding headache; to help me out Jourdan watched Violet Sunday night/Monday morning so I could rest. Luckily, I'm feeling better now and my headache is gone. Unfortunately, just as I started to feel better, Violet decided to do a re-enactment of the Exorcist and vomited all over her clothes, blankets, bobby and her beloved seahorse toy Jacque. So while Jourdan and I were supposed to be having lunch, Violet was losing her lunch over five outfits. And while she's crying and vomiting, Jourdan gets a horrible nosebleed. It was quite an eventful lunch.

Off to work!

Violet made the rounds at both of our offices this week, and was well received at both. We're experiencing some fussiness at night, mostly while Daddy is on shift. Though she did put herself to sleep last night. Doctor says she's doing well. A bit better than well since she's able to hold up her head already. We've also noticed her squirming around in her bassinet during the night.

Next doctors visit is in February, where she'll get poked by a big scary needle for her first round of vaccinations.

P.S. - 100 posts! (Or so Blogger says.)

Violet's Likes & Dislikes

After just two weeks of being around, it's becoming easier to detect her preferences. Below are a few of Violet's likes and dislikes.

Likes: Sleep sacks, sleeping on mom or dad, being sung to, sucking on pacifiers, drinking milk/formula, swing chairs, blankets, rides in the car, music (namely the baby Radiohead CD and Daft Punk). being walked around so she can look at stuff

Dislikes: Being bundled, being dressed, wearing socks, having her feet messed with, being put into her car seat, the sun in my eyes, bright lights

New Year's Day

Violet went to her first party today at Sam and Julie's place. While we showed up a bit late and with an extra guest, Uncle Cameron, Sam and Julie were great hosts. They even offered their nice bed as a changing area for when we suspected Violet had a dirty diaper. Overall Violet did a great job and was a perfect party guest.
