The longtime debate...

THUMB VS. PACIFIER



















The winner for Selah..either will do! She sucks on anything that is near her mouth :) It is really cute watching her find her thumb though. Otherwise you will see her smacking away on her paci.

Selah will be 4 weeks this week. My how time flies. She had her checkup last Friday and now weighs 9 pounds! She is doing very well. She gets up every 3-4 hours and eats like crazy, but overall she is a very laid back girl and loves just hanging out.

Here are the girls that we met for lunch last Wednesday. Selah and I had a blast. We also got to see the other girls at the hospital...Angela, Kris, Ann, Priscilla, and many others. We love you all and I enjoyed being able to share Selah with you!

Adventures...

Things have been going well for us here at home. I forgot to mention that on Oct. 16th we actually took Selah to the covered bridge festival. Both grandmas went along too. It rained on the way there and the way home, but the day there was great weather. It was really neat walking around and just enjoying a day with the girls :) We also got to have lunch with the girls from the PICU on Wednesday. It was great to see them again and show Selah off. Thanks for getting together girls and for the gifts! We also went up to the PICU and got to see even more friends...what a day of fun. Of course, Selah slept through half of it. I will be adding pictures from that day later on too.

Photographers

Well, it is getting to be that time when I need to decide where to get Selah's pictures taken. We got Laynie's taken when she was a month old along with us and got some great family pictures. Now I am asking if anyone knows of a great photographer that isn't outrageously expensive :) Or if anyone needs a baby to practice taking pictures on! HA! Anyways, just looking for feedback because that is the only way you know if someone is good. So send your comments on in if you know where to go!

Life's little pleasures

I felt this picture summed up our weekend pretty well so far....Taking it easy. I can't believe that Selah is two weeks already! She is growing so fast. This picture makes me laugh. Every time Selah wakes up from a nap she is soooo dramatic. She has to ssstttreeettttccchhhh and squirm and then give a BIG yawn a few times before she lazily raises her eyelids to peek at what is going on.

This is the picture we took before our first Sunday at church. It was great to be able to be at church with all of our friends and family. I guess this is our 2nd family picture :)

Can you believe Christmas is in 10 weeks! Get those shopping wish lists ready. Thanksgiving is right around the corner. I love getting together with family. And this year we have so much to be thankful for. It will be bittersweet...the first Thanksgiving without Laynie, but a blessing to have Selah here with us. That just amazes me. God is so faithful. This last year has been a year of ups and downs, joys and sorrow, tears and laughter...But through it all we continue to strive to serve Him more each day and share His love with our daughters and with those around us. We love you all! Have a great weekend.
