What to Say?

Well, I like to post once in a while, even when I don't have much to say. I can't believe that I don't have much to say and it is only 4 days until Christmas. You think I would have so much to talk about...

Last week, my nephew and Alyssa got their pictures together. They turned out very cute. My soon to be sister-in-law had the big picture and I had the picture frame. She lives 45 minutes away. So today, Alyssa and I took a car ride and met my step brother half way to pick up the picture. The weather is really bad here today. Wet and snowy and cold. My choice would have been to stay in the house in my PJs and not done a thing, but browse the internet and wrap a few presents and of course, play with Alyssa.

After I went on the journey to get the picture, I decided to be a complete idiot and go to Walmart. Why not, I am out. Crazy idea. First of all, if I didn't go to Walmart 5 times a week, they just might call me worried that I haven't been by. I swear all of the money I make and even some of my husbands goes into the damn cash registers at Walmart. But, they do have everything you could need. After I went and spent 2 hours and another $60.00 at Walmart, we are home.

I went to see Brianna on Saturday and took Alyssa to see her on Monday. Alyssa could care less. I can't even remember Alyssa being that small once. Brianna is beautiful.

I called to schedule Alyssa's 9 month appointment yesterday. I couldn't get an appointment until January 21st. She will be almost 10 months by then. I can't believe that either. She will be in the double digits. I was hoping to get in a little earlier so I can ask some questions about Alyssa's development. I know I have expressed this multiple times before, but my husband and I are worried about how she still won't roll from back to stomach. We are worried that she doesn't want to put any weight on her knees or arms. She doesn't really want to put any weight on her legs either. We can usually get her to stand for about 30 seconds before she realizes what she is doing and collapses her knees to make her fall into the sitting position. She sits great, though. She actually learned how to throw herself backwards when sitting. Oh the fun of that. Now I feel I can't leave her sitting by herself anymore. She just does it randomly and does it even more if someone is sitting on the floor beside her. She knows that we will catch her fall. I have no doubts that she is very smart.

She has also been very crabby again. So, I am thinking, possibly another tooth or two. God, I hope so, because I can't handle this screaming, crying and crabbiness much longer than just a few days at a time.

I was going to call the doctors office today to discuss my concerns, but I feel that they will make me feel stupid, so I will just wait for another month, see if any of those things progress and take my concerns with me when I can talk to the doctor face to face. They tend to make you feel a little less stupid then.

Ok, well I guess I had much more to write about than I thought.
