After a long labour brought about by midwife led induction (after all, she was 12 days late by this point), Violet Pixie Berry was born into the world at 9pm exactly on the 2nd of December 2013, at The Clarendon Wing of Leeds General Informary.
She didn't cry, and seemed to take in everything around her - she was especially interested in finally meeting her Mummy and Daddy, whose muffled voices she'd heard for so many months.
Even minutes after being born, Violet had an interest in what was going on around her.
And of course she shared her Mother's taste in style and headwear - within minutes of beingborn Violet was rocking a dainty white hat to keep her warm.
