You may have wondered why we have not updated the blog since we last told you we had a feeding pump. You may have guessed that we finally got to sleep and slept for days, OR that she still cries the whole time the sun goes down. The later would be correct! Still from about 11pm to 5am, Claire is not only awake, but crying as hard as she can. We think we have tried everything, and she has no problem using the bathroom, so we just continue to rock, walk, sit, anything to try to appease her. Tonight, instead of trying the slow continuous feeding, we are going to attempt to feed her larger amounts periodically, hoping to "fill" her tummy and then stop. We just wonder if she "feels" hungry not having a full meal from time to time.

Claire continues to attempt to suck a pacifier, but fails to understand the concept of a bottle. Tammy enjoys trying to feed her by bottle, but I wonder sometimes why not just take the top off and pour it all over themselves, because that is what it looks like when she finally gives up. It can be quite funny.

We had the pleasure of meeting Eliot's parents, Matt and Ginny, this past weekend. They came down to the beach with some friends, and boy what a pleasure. We all prayed together and gave thanks for our children. They are as nice as the blog site made them sound. They are a wealth of information for us, and we want to thank them publicly for everything they have meant to us. Eliot was a lucky boy!

Claire has asked for a turkey leg tomorrow, we think she likes the skin the best!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING
