I love the pumpkin patch. I love seeing all the different pumpkins and walking through the vines to find the perfect one! This year was a bit different because of Alice. I didn’t get to scour the field looking for the great carving pumpkin. She was not having it! Luckily I did two smart things for this trip. 1. We went right after school on early our day, a lot less people and 2. I brought my mom along. I did have an extra child as we brought one of Jillian’s friends with us. Thankfully my mom was there because Alice had a screaming fit and wanted to eat the minute we arrived. She mellowed our after eating and going on the wagon ride (it was super bumpy and she fell right asleep)

Thank goodness for extended maternity leave, there is no way I could leave this cutie just yet. 
Alice at 1 month old
At one month Alice weighs almost 10 lbs. She is a happy baby with only a few nights of fussy behavior. She sleeps about 4 hours at a time at night. The girls all love to say hi to her. Olivia loves holding Alice, unfortunately she hasn’t got the hold quite right yet and Alice always cry’s, but hey at least she tries!
One month old
Already?! Wow that went fast!
