Babble Babble

I feel like blabbing about just whatever - so here's a post for that!

We decided to put Landen on vitamins. Just the Flintstones kind - I remember taking them when I was a kid. =) This will be his first winter without nursing and I think a vitamin will be good for him. He's also around other children a lot more and playing with the same toy's they are. I'm hoping to skip the throw up sickness again this year. Plus Kurt and I both take a multi-vitamin so hopefully that will keep us all healthy during the flu season. Also - I decided to start taking Flax Oil. Hopefully that will help regulate these womanly hormones that are still not in check from having Amelia.

I'm really looking forward to Thanksgiving - well mostly the food! I want to see everyone, but that seems to be all going haywire all of a sudden. Who knows when some of my family will show up, and his family will all be gone by the time we get there. Sometimes, I wish there was a simple way to do the holiday stuff.

We were supposed to try to go shopping tomorrow - but the weather is supposed to be snowy (yuck) , rainy and cold so we decided against it. I have no Christmas shopping done and I really hate going after Thanksgiving because I get irritable at the crowds. I'm thinking about doing a lot online this year. Not that we have as much this year - we decided to limit it by quite a bit and stick with what Christmas is really about. =)

I found Christmas music on the music channels on tv today. Something about Christmas music is so soothing. Very wintry, but comforting and soothing. Landen seemed to like it, but maybe that's because I sing Jingle Bells all year round and he's used to it. =)

I saw a pretty red cardinal today! It reminded me of Kurt's grandma who passed away last year. Made me kind of sad. Plus my mom tells me my grandpa has a few medical problems (supposed to hear more about them later - to know the full detail) and it worries me, as he is getting older and older.

Amelia is really rolling now. Today she got from her belly to her back just as easy as she gets from her back to her belly. She seems to be doing things a little sooner than Landen did. She's able to pull herself up in a sitting position when laying back a little ways too. She's becoming strong. Probably not much longer until she's sitting up on her own. =)
Speaking of the little thing - she just pooped a big pooper and I see it going through on to her clothes. I better change her. =)

Have a good Tuesday - what's left of it.

I love Babble posts. ;)
I just recently started Christmas shopping, but I know what you mean about that stress. I feel antsy until my shopping is finished.

You'll have to update on the flax oil. I've taken a recent interest in flax, too. Kashi makes cookies w/ flax in them-pretty good, too!

I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving! It's my favorite holiday!
Btw, we've been listening to Christmas music, and I agree-it's soothing.

We eat tons of things with flax seeds around here--We even found bread that we love and pancake mix we can't seem to live without that both have loads of flax seeds. I don't want to leave a huge comment, but do you ever watch Oprah? I'm crazy about Dr. Oz and my mom and I just bought his new book (called, I think "You, Staying Young")--It talks about diet and supplements and all kinds of great stuff for your health. Cod liver oil is something I'm going to start to take (as soon as I can make myself go buy it--EW! LOL!)
