Bear Lake and Blessing

Violet is now 6 weeks old and getting more animated everyday, she's starting to coo and smiling all the time. She definitely knows her mama and daddy! I am loving being a mom, I can't believe that some mothers have to go back to work when their babes are just 6 weeks old, she's still so little and I feel like we're still getting in the swing of things, but I'm loving it and soaking up every moment.
A few weeks ago we went to Bear Lake with our good friends Phil, Paige and their baby Cash who were visiting from Moscow, Id. Phil is in law school up there. Erik's two best friends Phil and Chase had babies within a month of Violet, and no, it was not planned that way! I love their wives, we've become great friends so it'll be fun to have Violet have two cute boyfriends.
Cash born July 7th
Violet July 11thSunday was Violet's blessing, it was a beautiful day and she was a gem, she didn't make a peep and just slept the entire time
Chubby Baby.Violet even had a Wardrobe change! She was blessed in my blessing dress, but it was so long and hot that she had to change, plus I had already bought this dress as a possible blessing dress a few months ago.
Of course the moment we walked outside for brunch she was hungry, but the moment she was fed she was an angel!
Feed me!Proud ParentsGrandma Oberg, didn't get a picture with Grandpa Oberg, but he was there!Grammy and Papa
My Grammy, G.G. (great Grammy) to Violet
Great Grandma and Grandpa Shaw, Violet totally has Grandpa Shaw's eyes Great Grandma Oberg and Aunt DianeI didn't get any pictures after the blessing in my dress, so we had to have a little photo shoot this morning. I also didn't get a picture of her in the bonnet, we couldn't find mine, so we borrowed aunt Karli's. (Erik's sister) It was so darling and matched perfectly.
These little bloomers were worn by both of my sisters and myself, now Violet!We also all wore these darling shoes
I just had to share this, my mom made this darling cake for her best friends daughters' wedding last week. It was her wedding cake!
It's about 3 feet by 1 1/2

That's so neat that she was blessed in the same dress as you. What a beautiful dress. She's such a sweet little baby.

and what a beautiful blessing it was. I loved Violet's wardrobe change. I imagine that's what the movie star's children feel like. Both of her dresses were beautiful and I loved the fact that she wore your blessing dress. Very sweet.
