We started off the day the way we usually do... With a little exercise! It was such a nice day that we went for a walk in the neighborhood. (I also ran two miles. Boy was that hard!)
Daddy's family has a great tradition. Every year we go around the table and everyone says what they are thankful for. This year, it was obvious what to say: I am thankful for my beautiful daughter! (Extra thankful that she slept through dinner!) And thankful that she was born into such a wonderful family.
With that, we dug in! My sister-in-law hosted Thanksgiving and, as always, the meal was amazing. I couldn't tell you what my favorite was because ever dish was a favorite! And, like I said, Alexa was a good girl and slept through dinner so we actually got to eat and enjoy our meal.
That, by the way, was thanks to the E.A.S.Y. schedule! I have been keeping track of her feedings and naps for the past few days and I've noticed that she catnaps for 30 minutes to an hour most of the time, but ONCE a day, she naps for a good 2-3 hours.
I monitored her all day to make sure she did not take that big nap until the right time. Then, right before leaving for Daddy's sister's house, I fed her. She then fell asleep in the 30-minute car ride. And she stayed asleep for two more hours! Yay, success!
Here is Miss. Alexa after she woke up, having her Thanksgiving dinner via bottle with Daddy.
After her meal, she played with cousin Jason and tried on sunglasses. You know, fun stuff.
