Thanksgiving

We had three wonderful Thanksgiving dinners! I enjoyed each visit we had with both sides of the family. It was so nice to do it on three different days rather than cram it all in one. We are very thankful to have our families so close to us so we can be together for things like this. We always get together and have such great times and make such great memories. We are so blessed that everyone is healthy and doing so well and having each other means everything!

Here's a couple pictures of Alexis at 2 months old. I think she eats more than Austin did when he was this age. Or have I forgotten how much he ate? Alexis loves to eat in the evenings and during the night. Evenings are fine except on Thursdays. That's when I run my errands, mostly grocery shopping. I can do it in about 2 hours but I come home to Ryan doing his "walk n bounce" around the house with a hungry Alexis. I would have him give her a bottle of breast milk or a binky to tide her over but she's rejecting both. We need to try the bottle a little more but the binky we are definitely trying and she's not having it! I'm gonna have to buy different ones to see if we can find one that she likes. Now I can understand moms who say, "they just wouldn't take a pacifier for me!" For now I'm her "soothie" which I love but I'm gonna have a hard time getting any kind of a break from my kiddos if we don't get this figured out.
