Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We were so thankful and blessed to have little Ellie here to celebrate her first Thanksgiving and were overjoyed she had come two weeks early. We had a great time with family and great food. We also enjoyed cutting down our Christmas tree the Saturday after Thanksgiving with our great friends Andy and Katie. It was our 2nd year cutting our tree with them and has become a tradition with them just like carving pumpkins. Ellie had a great time and was absolutely wonderful. She even went out to dinner for the first time on the way home and was great in the restaurant and even slept while we all ate! She is getting bigger everyday and is a great eater. We tried a bottle for the first time a couple of days ago and she did great. It is also great for Ben to be able to help feed her and it gives me a little more sleep. We have also tried sleeping in our crib and that is not going as well. She got addicted to people holding her in her first 2 weeks of life, even while she slept, and she now does not like to sleep very much without being held at night. We are working through her withdrawal issues and will have to watch how much she gets held while sleeping. We are hoping this is short lived and she starts to enjoy her crib!
