Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Well we survived our Thanksgiving! Allison met a lot of her Great aunt and uncles and got passed around to everyone. Boy, was she wore out by the time we got to Mam-maw and Grandad's! She had had enough and only wanted Mommy and Daddy. Friday roled along and I think we all slept most of the day away, we were all wore out! We were plannin on getting our tree Saturday morning only to wake up to snow flurries and decided against it and thought maybe we'd do it sunday well, we had even more snow and fridgid weather! So we'll try again Monday night. I've posted a ton of pics from thanksgiving and then some so enjoy!!

Before I forget Happy Birthday Cousin Jennifer!!!

Just Hangin' Around...

A Month Later...

we've been keeping ourselves busy around here. We've been getting out of the house more and more. Saturday night we enjoyed dinner over at Traci, Zack and Payton's. It's Jeff and I's mission to bring on the baby fever in the Gaultney house, Payton needs a sibling plus Allison needs another playmate. :)

Allison is getting stronger and stronger everyday. She's been holding her head up longer during tummy time, she loves to keep her hands busy and talk to you. She smiles more and more everyday. I don't know if I've said this enough but during our feeding time between 4 and 6 is my favorite time of day. I'm exhausted but she's smiling and cooing. She notices Jeff next to me and smiles then looks at me and smiles. It's the best time of day. She's getting better at her schedule, we've been off a day or two by a couple of hours but it seems to be close to same everyday.

Yesterday we started giving Allison a bottle for one of her feedings while I build up my milk supply for when I go back to work. Allison did well getting a bottle from Jeff, I left so it would be easier for the both of them and ran some errands.

Allison is already in some of her 3 month cloths! As I said in our last blog post she's 10 pounds!! She's sleeping better in her bassinet more and more which makes mom and dad happy:) But she is quite the snuggle bug. I have to remind myself that this stage is not going to last forever and to soak every ounce in !

The last few days we've been dealing with her congestion. When ever she wakes up during the night she needs suction from the bulb syringe and then later in the evening before bedtime. I'm hoping it doesn't get any worse.

Well I think that about covers everything.. I'll be posting pictures later.

Lactation Apt.

So Allison and I headed to our lactation apt today. She weighed in at a hefty 10.0 lbs!! Yeah!! She's eating great but we need to get her used to eating with a bottle. So we're going to try eating with formula so that we don't waste the breast milk that we'd have to thaw and see how we do. She has had the bottle already but not on a regular bases. So hopefully everything goes well and she takes to formula well too. I'll still nurse her when I can but I'd rather get this new routine down before having to go back to work.

Already?Really?

It's already been 4 I repeat 4 weeks with our little blessing. You guys weren't joking when you said they grow up quick. I don't know where our time went!! Allison has brought many tears of joy and sleepless nights and many dirty diapers. But i wouldn't trade it for the world.:) She's getting so big she's already outgrown some of her onsies,and her personality is coming out more and more. You can also tell that her eye sight is getting better. Today while we were getting ready I had her in her bouncer she was getting really excited at the frog moving to the music. She just started waving those arms and kickin those legs! It was too cute. I'm getting really excited about watching her grow but geez, does it have to go by so quick?

Happy Birthday Daddy!

So it's that time again, Jeff's one year older. :) So..Saturday night we celebrated Jeff's birthday with a BIG Chili dinner and Dominos. Jeff had a blast and everyone had a great time with good food. Sunday Jeff and Todd framed out our basement for Allison's future bathroom and bedroom but for right now we're planning on expanding the garage so Jeff can start to pull his truck in the winter. Sunday night we just hung out at home with Jeff and opened gifts. Allison is still amazing us everyday with how much she's changing already and how strong she is! Here are a few pics of our sweetheart and Jeff's birthday Dinner. :)




We like to stick our tonge out!

3 Weeks old :(

Well the time has really flown by! Allison is becoming more expressive and smiling spontaneously more often. She's such a blessing to our family. We fall in love her more and more each day. She's been starting to fight sleep lately :) but she's been sleeping better in her bassinet. The past week has been busy. Saturday night we headed over to Grand Dad's and Mamaw's house for dinner after out bath. And Sunday Traci, Zack and Payton came over with a very good dinner, Chicken and Noodles YUM! Other than that we've just been hanging inside since it's been so cold outside. Tomorrow we get to go to Daddy's work! Can't wait!!

Sorry I forgot to turn some of the pictures. So just tilt your head :)




We love our bouncer!! Smiling at Mommy!!
