St. Louis

So we're in the airport on our way to St. Louis for Reliv's 20th Annual International Conference. Exciting stuff. Our flight was supposed to be at noon today, but they overbooked it, and were looking for volunteers to give up their seats in exchange for a free ticket to anywhere in the US. So after a little debate we decided it'd be worth a day in the airport, since tickets for NJ for Christmas are looking to be like $850 a peice!! However, there are of course some restrictions that we found out about after. Like... we might not be able to use the tickets for Christmas time. But they're completely transferable, and so we could fly my dad out, or something like that. We'll see.

Olivia is 5 months old now! She amazes me daily with how she's figuring out this world. She's making lots of new noises and babbles. She's still not a pro at sitting up. She tries to crawl, but hasn't been too successful, although I am afraid because it looks like any day she's just going to pick up and move on me. Lately she's been a terrible sleeper. Waking up lots and lots during the night. I nurse her back to sleep, but I don't think this is the best thing to do. It gets her right back to sleep, but then I keep waking up... so I don't know. I tried keeping her in bed with us, I tried leaving her in the crib, and then I tried leaving her in our bed and I went on the couch. lol... I think it might be teething. Her gums seem pretty swollen. But we have so much going on, this trip, then the move, then in Sept. going away on that trip... so after all that is said and done we'll establish a better sleeping routine, and hopefully get her sleeping through the night. In the meantime, I'll try to enjoy it, because she def won't be a baby forever.
