Thanksgiving, faces, and bedtime routines....

This was our little punkie's first Thanksgiving! And she did very well yucking it up with all the family and wearing a very festive turkey!

My brother met Shaylen for the second time over thanksgiving, making the treck from Chi-town. Shaylen was enjoying her time with the guys!

Shaylen LOVES her uncle Jamie



This girl has many facial expressions. These are all consecutive pictures of her making faces while she is sleeping. I have a feeling this girl is going to be a major character as a toddler.

We are reading to this little one, and making sure she knows that reading is important. Shawn enjoys reading to her in his simpsons PJ pants :) hehe. We are also trying to get into a bedtime routine which isn't always the easiest thing, but we are getting there. She has had her moments but she is getting to the point where she wakes up about 1 time per night, between 9:30pm and 6:30 am, not too bad.

All in all things are going pretty well. We don't really take her outside yet, due to the cold and flue season, but that is okay, we are enjoying the time we do have together at home. We are so thankful for our supportive friends and family that have offered help to us over the last 6 weeks as this girl has been growing and changing. We can't wait for her 2 month check up in January to see how the numbers have changed!
