Juliette - 6 weeks old




WOW!! I can't believe that it has been 6 weeks since Juliette's arrival!! Time has flown by. She is a good baby! And perfect in my eyes!!

The past 6 weeks have taught me a lot! First thing is when you go to blog baby will wake up, hahaha! No seriously, i have learned that you CAN love the second one as much as the first!

What i have learned about Juliette is that she is different then Jackson. She does not like to eat a lot (more the 3 oz) in one feeding. She prefers breast milk over the formula (which is something i can't produce a lot of).She has yet to sleep through the night and that does not really bother me (i enjoy looking into her eyes in the peace of the night). She would rather be sitting up then laying down. She would LOVE for someone to hold her 24 hours a day (yes she is spoiled). She has the smallest feet! She will only smile if there is no camera around (which is torture to me). She prefers mommy over daddy (which is an adjustment for me since Jackson preferred Jonathan). She doesn't really spit up a lot. She is aware of her surroundings especially when mommy tries to go out of the house (she refuses to sleep when we are trying to do something outside the home). She prefers to sleep in mommy and daddy's bed (but we won't let her until after 5 am, strange rule i know). She loves to be talked to. All this is the exact opposite (other then the talking to) from Jackson!!! So yes i realize that children can be totally different.

Juliette smiled for the first time about 2 weeks ago. I was changing her diaper and talking to her then she smiled. I am pretty sure it wasn't from gas (hahaha), which she does have a lot of!!! She has since smiled for Jonathan and my mom. Like i said previously she refuses to do it when i have a camera in hand!!! She also is starting to discover her tongue, she loves to watch someone roll their tongue around and then she sticks hers out (its funny).

Juliette rolled from her stomach to her back on Monday (exactly 6 wks). She was laying in her bed i had just come in from the dr and was talking to her and over she went. I was shocked! I am not sure when baby usually do this but i thought WOW my child is strong (hahahaha).

I look forward to watching this little angel grow up. But i wish she could stay small for a little bit longer!!!!
