There's a lizard in my living room!!!!!! and other things

Bummer!!! The woman who offered me her jogging stroller for FREE can't find it, and now I haven't heard from her in days. I am broken hearted:-( I really want one because I do a lot of walking on tough trails, and my Graco just isn't going to cut it. I think I'm going to buy the Jeep one I want on Wednesday when James gets paid.

James worked on homework most of the weekend. His computer is in pieces at home, so he's been spending a lot of time at work. My laptop doesn't have all the programs he needs for all his high tech stuff. I seriously hated him yesterday for not being here. I didn't even want to talk to him when he got home because there was a mother freaking lizard in our living room. A LIZARD!!!!! IN MY HOUSE. I hate the south. If we hadn't moved here, we'd be getting snow tonight! Anyway, I had to chase this thing out the door with a broom. Not exactly the type of thing you'd hit with a fly swatter. I seriously deserve a medal. I almost peed my pants when I saw him. Who has a lizard in their house in February? We seriously can't move soon enough.

Olivia has been grinding her teeth all weekend long. She already has 8 teeth. Just how many more are coming? I didn't think she was due for anymore any time soon. Last night was rough. James and I were up with her half the night while she cried and grinded her teeth. I give her motrin when she feels really badly, but I don't want to keep her drugged all the time. I know some parents who give their kids medicine around the clock, but I don't feel comfortable with it.

I am so amazed by Olivia's vocabulary. She's like a sponge. Like most babies her age, she understands more than she can say. She points to tons of things when asked. She knows who/where everyone in the family is, and she knows many household objects. It's so much fun teaching her! Her favorite things to do lately are: making her mouth into an "o" shape, pointing at everything, playing with her new letter magnets on the fridge, walking while we hold her hands, feeding the dogs, and saying "hot" over and over and over again while watching the fireplace just hoping we'll turn it on! She also thinks it's funny when she farts. If I laugh and she does another one, she'll laugh too. I'm actually going to re-visit this tomorrow. You'll see why.

I've been bad about taking pictures lately, but here are some of the latest:

She loves riding on Daddy's shoulders!

Pointing after Mommy asked her "where is the fan?"

Grinding her teeth because they hurt. :-(

Getting into trouble!
