and she looks like...

Josh and I went through some of our baby pictures trying to decide who we think Alex looks more like...what do you think?

Alex

Josh

Jamie

I of course thinks she looks like me! (except for the peacock-esque hair, thanks Mom!)
quick Alex update...after many nights filled with tears and screaming, we decided to stop trying the bottle for good. This headstrong little girl has more willpower than me, I just can't stand to hear her cry and scream. I made the decision to try a sippy cup instead and wouldn't you know it, she likes it! She started off small, only taking .75 ounces and everyday started taking a little more and more. Yesterday she took 2.5 ounces! So the Nuby sippy cups are our new best friend. My goal is to have her take at least 1 complete feeding during the day from a sippy cup in the next week, then every few days, we will substitute a nursing session with a bottle/sippy cup feeding. Oh, she is getting formula in the sippy cup, she refused to take breastmilk in it. If all goes well, she will be completely on formula by the end of the year and I'll be able to start taking the medication I need to help with the RA!

Good luck with the weaning! And I think she looks like a perfect mix of both you and your hubby! :o)

I agree with Wendy. I can see both you and Josh in her! Your comment on your hair made me laugh so hard it interrupted Sylvia's feeding!!
