14 weeks old

AJ is 14 weeks old today!  On April 29th, a friend of mine in the department had her baby--exactly three months to the day after AJ was born.  We'll have to celebrate their quarter/half birthdays in July.

She got tired of tummy time, so then we had motion gym back time.

It was very difficult to get her to look at the camera.

More back time--she's winding up to swat the monkey astronaut here

More tummy time! She's getting very good at lifting her head.

The dino sleeper is from the lot of dinosaur clothes that Mama Lu gave us at my hometown baby shower.  It's super cute--I especially appreciate that along with stegosaurus and T-Rex, it features the less well-known diplodocus and spinosaurus.  Rather ambitiously for a 3-6 month size piece of clothing, it has treads on the feet.

AJ has not rolled over that we know of since her debut, but definitely scooches around (possibly faster on her back, actually).  She seems to be mostly interested in grasping right now; yesterday, she started grabbing her foot while I was changing her, and has done it pretty much every time I've changed her since.  It's like she's upped the difficulty level.

I read that you can't really tell if a baby will be right or left-handed until into toddlerhood, but it seems like right now, she can do a lot more with her right hand.  We're trying to put interesting stuff to her left to encourage her to use that side more.

  1. Do you primarily nurse from one side? They can favor the side they're used to looking out from :) I keep trying to predict if A will be left-handed (Sam is and a bunch of our family members are) but she's still using both pretty equally at very nearly 2.

  2. I make a conscious effort to switch her back and forth because I don't want a boob imbalance. :p So I don't think that's it.

  3. Hahahahaa. I wound up with major boob imbalance -- it went away and I'm back even now, though :)
