Ethan and Lisa: 14 weeks

Our precious Julia is now 14 weeks old...

Let's see... what are her latest things that she does? Well, she blows bubbles a lot. She is also drooling a lot so I keep the burp rag handy to wipe her face often. She likes to stick out her tongue. I think it's adorable when she smiles and sticks her tongue out at the same time...

She is so much more interactive. She smiles a lot and just loves any kind of attention. She also responds more when I read to her which is cute. She loves it when I sing to her. She is happiest in the morning and afternoon. By the evening she gets more fussy. I wish it wasn't that way because I feel like Ethan doesn't get to see Julia in her usual happy state... But, even in her fussiness it's not too bad. She is a pretty easy-going baby.

When she wakes up in the morning, she starts fussing until I acknowledge her. But, once I acknowledge her by talking or singing to her, she is all smiles and starts kicking her legs in excitement. If only I was that excited to wake up in the morning! :) But, her smile just melts my heart and truly makes it a joy to wake up in the morning when she responds in that way. She used to wake up screaming until I fed her, so I'm happy for this recent change. She is so sweet.

She is about 10 lbs. 10 oz. now. So, she is feeling very heavy to me considering that she was born weighing only 5 lbs. 14 oz.! But, she is petite. She is still wearing newborn diapers! Many babies outgrow newborn diapers quickly or never even wear them... But, I think she is ready to "graduate" to size 1, finally. However, they look huge on her cuz she is so skinny. She wears 0-3 months pajamas and onesies. Most 0-3 month pants don't fit her because the waists are too large, but newborn pants look like capris on her. :)

Here are some recent pictures I took of her.

I love watching her kick those legs... It's amazing how babies can do all sorts of "leg lifts" but not seems to get tired. She must have such strong stomach muscles!
