baby central
We had a fun few days with some friends this weekend. They drove up from Indianapolis which is a short 4 hour drive. My friend Rebecca has known me since 7th grade when we met in home-ec. She was working hard and getting excellent grades in the class while I was busy chatting and getting a D+. I wised up for 8th grade home-ec, and I am grateful for what I learned in order to do the sewing projects I make these days. Anyway, Rebecca was always a good friend. We lost touch for a few years but found each other a couple of years ago and have been in touch ever since. Rebecca and her husband, Brad, had a baby girl, Kamille, 5 days before Violet was born. We thought it’d be fun to get together and worked this weekend into our schedules. Turns out Brad is an avid hunter like Mike, so they spent the weekend hunting geese and ducks. (Check out the website I designed for his new business Pinnacle Outdoors. If you need any hunting calls or scents, then order from him. 🙂 ) Both Mike and Brad shot a duck last night, and the boys were quite ecstatic. Rebecca and I just hung out with the babies. We made her sweetie 3 pairs of baby shoes like Violet’s. I was so glad and surprised we could get those made despite fussy babies. I hope they had a great time like us, and we’d love to do it again in the future.
The babies weigh exactly the same and are the same height. Check out the cheeks on Kamille. Such a cutie! Speaking of Violet’s stats, she had her 2 month appointment on Thursday. She now weighs 11 pounds, 6 ounces (50th percentile) and is 22.5 inches long (50th percentile). She had to get 3 shots and was not happy:(
As you can see it’s impossible to get two 2-month-olds to look and smile at the camera at the same time.

Happy, little family.
The girls insisted on holding Violet, so they each got a turn. As you can see the novelty of a new baby has not worn off. Violet doesn’t seem to mind though.
