One Week Down...

Little Willa has been around (or more correctly, "out") for a week now. And she is proving to be a very easy baby and almost exactly like Violet was as a newborn so I feel like I've done this before :) She's eating great, sleeping good and overall seems very easy-going and of course, incredibly cute.

She did have a bad diaper rash which seems to finally be clearing up, but we spent a lot of time airing out on her changing table. Who can resist a few shots of a clothes-free baby?

And those tiny toes and wrinkly feet...
My mom is in town to help out with the baby and the older sister. It has been SO GREAT to have her and Grandpa Guy here! Here she is with her two Denver grandaughters:We went on a little road trip to visit Jon in Boulder and stopped at a park/trail head on the way home so I could feed Willa. Grandpa Guy, Grandma and Violet walked up the trail a bit while I fed her. It is right in front of the beautiful Flat Iron Mountains... I still can't believe this is just a half hour from our house!
Violet is still doing pretty good with Willa. She is what we call "aggressivly loving" :) She really does seem to love her little sister and puts up with her crying when she's trying to hold her. We inherited a ton of rose bushes in the back yard and they are just now starting to bloom. Here is Violet showing off one of the pretty pink roses:
We've also been trying to spend a lot of time outside where Violet would spend all of her time blowing bubbles if it was possible.

  1. I love Willa's chubby little tummy! Bridget never had a tummy. She is so cute and Violet seems to be doing so fantastic. I love reading the updates, keep 'em coming!!! ;)

  2. the family looks so great! I can't wait to come meet Willa and see Violet (and you) again soon! We are of course potty training right now but maybe we'll be ready for a small road trip next week (or am I being too ambitious?)!
