The party was a hit, although many of our regulars were unable to attend (as IF having a baby trumps our Hallowe’en gathering, Tianna!).
Tonight I finally bit the bullet and made up a bottle of formula for Avelyn to take before she went to bed. As soon as the foreign liquid hit her lips, she spat the bottle out. I kept trying, but she refused.
Nothing like a formula vs. breastmilk discussion to get those comments pouring in! Thank you everyone for all your kinds words of support and encouragement.
My girl is a-growing and guzzling more and more milk each day. I have been pumping every 4-5 hours and have been producing about 24 ounces in a day. The thing is, Avelyn is now drinking about 30 ounces a day.
Steve’s cousin, Shelley is a talented photographer and she snapped a few candid shots of Avelyn at the Brown family Thanksgiving dinner.
I love my dimply little cherub.
Would you believe she did this the whole way to Vancouver and back home again?
It’s true.
