9 weeks old...



Karina is 9 weeks old and at her two month ckeck up last week, she came in at 14 pounds, 10 ounces. She has been gaining a whopping one pound a week. No one in the Yuen household has done that since our cruise to Alaska last summer and Elvin overate at the buffet lines.


We've started feeding her formula once a day. Emily is gone in the evenings once a week, so having the option of bottle feeding Karina let's Elvin stay home with the girls. Eliana likes to help.





Karina loves a mobile that friends originally gave to Eliana when she was a baby. Karina can be fussy, but when you put her down in the crib and turn the music on, she will be riveted by the movement.






This past week, Emily's sister visited from Seattle, so Karina got to see some of her cousins.

Eliana adores her cousine Lena. She followed her around like a shadow and copied everthing Lena did. Lena had a root beer float bar for dessert, so Eliana grabbed one too.


Eliana's other cousins also spent the night last week. Eliana pretended she was a baby and made herself comfortable in Karina's Moses basket while her cousin Millie read her a story. What service!Here is Eliana and Abby watching a Chinese language video together. The girls are in their PJs all ready for bed. No, they did not all sleep on the same bed.As Eliana exerts her independence, she wants to do more things herself. She buttered this piece of toast herself. There's about a tablespoon of it on there. And of course, only the part with butter gets eaten!
