Welcome Baby Riley Donato

 Proud Dad! Poor Jr. looks tired after only 3 days!

Proud Auntie Aleyna! Glad that Violet is FINALLY (sing it... Hallelujah) sleeping through the night!

Basically the story of my life!

 Starts out with Ashton teasing Violet with one of her toys

 Ashton's little smirk and Violet's annoyed look

 Ashton saying he's sorry with a kiss

 The kids being kids

 Yes, a devilish grin!

 Violet looking for rescue into Mom's arms... or was she just trying to pull up to stand. Which I might suggest is not a smart thing in a tub with unstable legs and feet!

Violet stands and talks to Nana

Trying to capture the kids and the Christmas tree shot!

 Violet is growing up before my eyes! She can pull to stand already!

 Looking cute as a button!

 Trying to get the Christmas tree and kids shot. Ashton was not in the mood.

 Giving Violet some kisses!

 More lovin'

 Violet pulling at the ornaments!

 Violet loves her new light ball toy from Nana and Papa!

 As good as it gets!

Cutie pie!

Fun in the tub

 Splish splash I was takin' a bath!

 Violet is happy she can finally take a bath like her big brother!
