13 weeks.

This is our third Tuesday in California; we're sad not to have a fourth to look forward to but we are so happy for the wonderful time we've had here, visiting with friends and family.

On to what's new this week in our baby's life!

Nary a smile was to be had in today's serious photo shoot.

• There was one big first; a trip to the Pacific Ocean! Hanna Lu made no reaction when we dipped her feeties into the cold water but she did seem to love the experience of being there and the sights, smells, and sun.
• More hanging out with friends.
• Her first {then 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th} restaurant visit; she did splendidly each time! This certainly won't last until the baby's mobile so I'm enjoying it now.
• Hanna Lu is still loving on her hand and thumb; both are in her mouth quite often.
• Drooling a lot! I now understand keeping a bib on baby all day.
• A bit fussy with her eating again; just being a baby!
• Not sleeping super well but there's SO much that she's been doing I don't blame her...though yesterday was one of our more low-key days and she didn't give me her best night so who knows {no one, I think...babies are all mysteries we're better off not trying to hard to figure out...at least I'm better off that way!}.
• A visit to Rancho San Antonio for a walk; this is a nature reserve with tons of trails that I've spent much time at and it was fun to take the baby, even if she slept/cried in her stroller.
• Baby's first visit to Ikea.
• Baby's first Father's Day which was not actually with her father but we'll make up for that later this week!

There's a flight on our agenda on Thursday so wish us luck!
