We're moving this weekend!


Okay, so before I start this post, I figure I better explain the picture. Alana takes rice cereal in her bottle, she actually won't take one with out it, so even though you really aren't supposed to do that, she does. Max mixed her a bottle the other day, and it was just a little too thick. He shook the bottle to get the nipple unclogged, before he was going to water it down, and he decided to do it in a downward motion. Needless to say, Alana was face up under the bottle. We were all laughing so hard!
Alana's going to be walking any day now. She's cruising the furniture, and she'll stand alone for about 20 seconds before she falls down. I tried to put a picture of her cruising on here, but after I put the first one on, blogger warned me about something to do with java something and cookies. Whatever that means! Sounds like a day at the coffee shop!
So, moving on...We are getting all packed up, and we'll be moving this weekend! I'm taking the rest of the week off of work, so I can get everything done without as much stress, but Alana isn't really helping in that department. She's into everything! We'll be switching internet severs in the process, so I'll send everyone my new email address once we have it. I also probably won't be on blogger for a while. We aren't getting our new hookup until the 9th.
Alana has officially had her last bottle of breastmilk today. I'm done. I wanted to be able to give her milk until she was a year old, but my milk supply has been depleting rapidly for a while now. I tried everything, but have been having to supplement with formula for about two weeks now, and it just seems pointless to go through all the work of pumping for maybe a bottle a day when I still am having to spend so much on formula. I just wish she had been a better nurser. I'm trying to not beat myself up about it, but it feels like I failed reaching my goal. Hopefully I'll have better luck next time. At least I surpassed the six month mark!
Oh, and a quick update on Brent, he had a very successful second surgery, and I think that they will be moving him back to the rehab center soon to prepare for yet another surgery. Things went much better this time.
