Bigger and Bigger....sniffle

So I know that I am pressing my luck with trying to blog. Olivia is currently sleeping and has been for a hour and 15 minutes (gasp!). Any second I am sure I'll start to hear the cry...but in the mean time I'll try to get all of you some updates on the angel!

She has cut 4 teeth now, 2 top and 2 bottom. This made for one quite interesting nursing episode. Let's just say she ended up skipping a meal ;) She crawls all over the place and if you leave the room she is right on your heels. I tried to block her in the living room the other day by putting the port-a-crib in front of the entry and she tried crawling underneath it to escape. It was funny to see her bottom half wiggling as she tried army crawling under it. She made it about 1/2 way before she got mad and I had to rescue her. She loves to stand! She can pull herself up to a standing position without the aid of anything already. I know it won't be long before she will be walking all over the place.

She has the best smile in the whole world! She smiles with her whole face and sometimes her smile is so big I don't know how she can see out of her squinty eyes!

We are looking forward to sharing the next few holidays with her. It will be fun because she is old enough to get some fun out of them. We are currently deciding what to dress her up as for Halloween. We are going to a party that night so we actually need costume ideas for all 3 of us. Any suggestions??

Doubts & Paranoia

I have noticed that I have been using the phrase "I just get the vibe that..." a lot when in conversations (about other conversations) with Greg lately. It seems that I am in a phase that doesn't allow me to take what someone says to me at face value. I am constantly looking for their real intentions behind their words and what they are really thinking but not saying. I find that I am watching that person's actions and listening to their tone of voice and possibly pulling in some illegitimate feelings to the conversation. I am even doing this with Greg someone I know I can trust and would never do this to me. This is of course making me feel very doubtful of my roles and my relationships with people. I know this is all "in my head" because I go through these phases from time to time and the feelings will eventually fade and I am "normal" again. In the mean time....if you have a verse/passage that could help I would appreciate it!
