September

It's been a bit of a crazy month so far. Olivia is now 5 1/2 months old. She sits, crawls, walks in the walker, takes steps when holding her hands, and has a total of 12 teeth coming in. All popping up and down in and out of the gums. So she has been a bit cranky. She is still breastfeeding, and I've given her a sippy cup to play with and get used to. Thinking she wouldn't like them at first like Claire and Grant, and of course that was wrong, LOL she right away grabbed the handles and put it in her mouth and started sucking... She is such a talker right now it's crazy! I can't believe she is almost 6 months...

She is also bigger than Claire and Grant were at this point. She does not fit into either car seat I have for her.. She also is wearing 12 month clothes at this point.

I've decided that my kids wont get the swine flu shot, because honestly there is no point. It's not tested enough for me to believe it'll work or not get them sick in all. They will get their normal flu shots and that is it.

I've started the kids Christmas Lists, because I am tired of trying to write everything out for everyone. And i've got a lot going on.

I've got a lot going on for myself. I get to go back and see my back doctor, since my back went into severe pain mode last week. I can't even lift anyone which is hard enough. Im going to be having surgery and I am pushing for around Thanksgiving or Christmas. I will need someone around to take care of the kids for me, so those are my options for the time being. I will know for sure Oct 5.
