I talked to my brother yesterday. I can't say little because he's actually taller than me and broader in the shoulders; but he's my younger brother by ten years. He has been raving about this coffee he bought, how good it was. While in the store the other day I decided to get some of it. But I didn't think it was nearly as good as what he said. Later I found out that it wasn't the same coffee. Yeah, he'd bought that one too, but it wasn't the one he was raving about. Funny, The only name I could remember was that one. The rememberer is definitely broken, and the fogetterer is working just fine!

My baby girl has been suffering from colic. This has been real fun. She'll wake up screaming for what appears to be no reason, and it takes forever to get her to calm down. She's been getting better though, it doesn't happen nearly as much now as it did when she was younger. Five months the Doc said, and he was about right. Though a lot of mom's online said Six months. She'll be Five months old before we know it. It's already going too fast. I love it when she smiles and laughs. She is the cutest. Yes I know I'm biased, but I really think that all babies are the cutest when they are in a good mood. When she smiles I understand now what a neighbor said to me years ago... If you'd smile more you'd be a really pretty young lady. I wish I had taken her advice. Lol. Never heard that too much when I was a kid, and I have a very hard time believing it now. It's funny how somethings that happen when your young effect the rest of your life. I intend to tell her everyday how pretty she is.

She a rich little girl as well. Or at least she will be by the time she's 18. Hubby gets paid every week, and every week we take out $10.00 for her. Been doing it since shortly after she was born. And she's got nearly $ 300.00. No bad for a nearly 5 month old. I've got it figured out, and by the time she's nearly 3 she'll have $1,650. I'm going to eventually get it into the bank so she'll get some interest on it. It will make it grow faster. I know 8 or 9 thousand dollars isn't much but it's better than nothing, which is what her dad and I've got. Of course only the currant figures reflect any extra she gets from others. Right now any money she's given by people goes into the savings jug, it grows quite rapidly. She's got a piggy bank, and whatever change I've got goes into it. Periodically I've got to clean it out and when I do I give her bills and spend the change at the store. This works quite well. I hope she knows just how much we love her.

Well, it's 5:54 AM, and she's calling for breakfast. so I'll have to write more later.
