Love love- I have been sent home at a bday party-well everyone was I think we gave the mom a complex 

One year we have a blowout then the next year we go low key.  I think not every year should be "all out"  Pick the special times and do it to the 9's.  That way your children appreciate the special parties more. 

1. a letter DH gave me when we first started dating

2. My American Girl doll- I got it when they first came out, there was only 4 dolls.  Now Megan admires it.

3 My dad's Army pic.  My mom had then retouched and framed for Christmas.

4.sweater MIL knit for DS I have those put up

5. my scrapbooks for the kids one day they'll enjoy all the pics- I hope

I have alot, every keepsake is Precious hard to pick 5 The ultimate is the last Christmas ornaments from Great- Grandma, she would give ornaments every christmas. She passed away July 2006 right after Meg was born but Christmas 2006 Meg got her special ornament.  Gma had bought and wrapped all the gifts for the Grandchildren before she passed away- What a woman!

Have you tried pumping some milk and use that in bottle- I am asuming your using formula in the bottle.  Do try differnt textures for nipples both my DC were breast fed and liked Advent bottles.     Sorry if I offend with this but my nipples were firmer so that is why Advent worked so well- if your nipples are softer consider playtex-which are softer nipples.

  - also maybe try with a paci in between- I know some people are anti-paci but it is such a useful tool for successful breastfeeding- and transtion feeding.  Best wishes!  It takes time it is hard to hear your baby cry and have the food right there- but if they are hungry enough in the end they will eat from whatever gives them food.

Easy enough where in WI do ...
