October Adventures

I just love the Fall! I think I write about it every year...the leaves changing, the weather getting cooler, the fact that Thanksgiving & Christmas are right around the corner! What's not to love?! This year, I'm so excited to be hosting Thanksgiving for the first time ever! I'm a little nervous...ummm, cooking a turkey?! A little intimidating! But, ultimately, I can't wait to have our family out here & to share the holiday w/ Elli. Super fun!

October has proven to be the month of visitors. First we had Chris's Grandmama & Aunt, this weekend my brother & his wife will be visiting, next weekend my mom comes out, and then my dad, sister & my niece and nephew will be here to help us celebrate Halloween! I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again, and to introducing Elliana to those who haven't met her yet. I'm sure they'll fall instantly in love :) I'm trying to think of some fun little halloween treats to make/buy for my niece and nephew...any ideas??

Elli had her 2nd pediatrician's visit a few days ago, and then got her first round of vaccines the day after that. She was a trooper. Her mom...not so much! I think I cried more than she did! There's just something about seeing your child hurting that breaks your heart. Oh, I just love that little girl and when I saw her face crinkle up & that lip start to quiver, I just melted! I'm totally in love w/ our new Dr, too. He held Elli for her entire visit, gave her a little kiss, and just sat and talked w/ us like we were the only patients he had. It was a much better experience than we had with her first one. I'm so thankful that we found a Dr. who really loves children and honestly wants to get to know our daughter. Miss Priss has gained 2 lbs since she was born, so she now weighs 9lbs, 5 oz. She's now in the 50% for her weight and 75% for her height. She's a growing girl!

Let's see...what else? Oh, we went to the Pumpkin Patch last weekend! I'll be sure to post some pics of that soon :) I think that's just about it for this little family. Hope you are all having a great week!

Her Dr. sounds great!! I'm so happy you found someone who loves babies - sounds odd, but many do not act that way.

Here's some things to do with your niece and nephew that will make you World's Best Aunt! Just remember that it's all about the time you spend with them... not if everything doesn't turn out perfect!
