How big is she? 7lbs 4 oz.
What does Julia like to do most? SLEEP! (I'm so jealous!) It is torturous waking her up (and me up) in the middle of the night to feed her.
What does she eat? Julia eats a cocktail of 62mL of breast milk with Enfamil formula mixed in for extra calories. She primarily eats through her NG tube and a Dr. Brown's bottle but we're also slowly (very slowly) staring to work on breastfeeding. We think she prefers straight breast milk much better than the cocktail since she tends to drink more of her bottle when it is straight breast milk. Her interest in drinking from a bottle varies a lot. This is one of the more frustrating things.
Funny things about Julia:
* She often will just open one eye to look around. She is the one-eye-wonder!
* She makes these little whimpering noises from time to time.
* She has the longest little tongue in the West and she's not afraid to stick it out at you!
* She will tell you she's done eating from the bottle when she purses her lips tightly together and won't budge to let you put the bottle back in her mouth.
* She will give me little smiles from time to time in her sleep. It makes me so happy to see glimpses of what her smile will look like.
* She is very interested in the "activity gym" that I put on the floor. There are little toys that dangle from arches that criss-cross over the mat. She likes to look at them.
* She is *very* ticklish on her feet.
Thank you for such a fun list of funny things about Julia. How much is a mother's love for her precious child of God!
