14 weeks 11/15/11

Natalie turned 14 weeks this week.  She is a teenager in weeks.  She is getting pretty big.  I don't know exactly what she weighs but I would guess around 14 pounds by now.  She is still smiling like crazy and making lots of noises.  She loves to put her hand in her mouth too.  I will put her in the vibrating seat and do something in the kitchen and all of a sudden you will hear this really loud sucking sound and she's got that hand in her mouth.  She only takes the pacifier for short periods now every once in a while.  I think she likes her hand better. 

Since she had been using an exersaucer at daycare, I decided to go to my new favorite place to see if they had one.  The Children's Orchard in Portsmouth is a used clothing/toy store for kids.  They have all kinds of stuff.  The first time I went there, I bought Natalie and pink poofy snowsuit for winter that was $8 and still had the tags on it.  This time I found a "My First Christmas" feety pajama outfit, a bulldog with santa hat feety pajama outfit and an exersaucer.  They had so many clothes that I really wanted to buy but held myself back.  Couldn't resist the bulldog with santa hats though.  I decided to put it on her early.  I have been complaining that retailers and the like start with Christmasy things waaaay to early but I couldn't resist.

Here she is...

There is the hand I was talking about. 

If only we could get Rocky to keep the Santa hat on. 

I finally got a little smile but she looked to the side.  Oh well.

Here is her new toy.  We haven't really used it that much so hopefully she grows into it.

Not much else happened this week.  Mom and Natalie had a whole day together while Dad went up to Maine. The weekend was pretty uneventful.  She did sleep 7-8 hours a night from Thurs to Sun.  Mon night was a short one and then last night she did 7 + hours.  We are getting better but may be going through a growth spurt in the next couple of weeks so that might be out the window. 
This weekend we are going up to visit our friends, Greg, Shauna and little Henry, for the weekend.  They live up near Stowe so should be fun to visit.  Will tell you all about it next week. 
Have a good weekend.  Hope this finds everyone well.
