Forgot to add - If we do decide to vaccinate after age 2 it will be very selective. We will spread the shots out and only do one at a time with along interval in between. She probably will not get all of the shots.

I have to agree with nhockaday. The father of one child was a doctor (neurologist?). The mom was also a doctor. The daughter had a mitochondrial disorder which made her more susceptable to autism. Because they were able to document their daughters symptoms on a professional level, they were able to prove their case in the US supreme court. It is interesting though, that the parents are still pro vaccine. http://www.nbc4.com/health/15516661/detail.htmlThe US even has a program called vaers which is a gives funding to families or individuals who have been injured by vaccines. Having said that, I'm not totally anti vaccine. I am currently not vaccinating any of my kids and my 15 month old has never been vaccinated. I have read a bit on how the brain develops prior to age 2 and will not vaccinate her before that age (I may rethink if there is an outbreak of something in our area).

My youngest teether had 2 teeth come through at 4 months.
My oldest teether got her first 2 at 10 months. She did not get any more for 4 months, then got 7 at once! Wow, was she growly!

I agree with the word "addictive"!
I think my husband believes I am going to extremes sometimes! My husband is supportive, however & that's what is important. He doesn't get as excited about things as I do and sometimes I think it drives him nuts when I am so focussed on little reader.
We have a very small home & when I bring more toys home because they are "developmentally appropriate" or great for teaching Kay a certain skill he isn't always thrilled. When he sees how well she is doing though, he is thrilled & able to overlook everything.
Speaking of addictive! I just got home from shopping, turned the computer on and forgot to put my milk in the fridge!
I'll be back!

Thanks for the photos. I have never seen diaper cake before but they are really neat looking!
I work from home & my clients come to me. There are many other types of businesses you can do at home. I know people who do accounting, preparing resumes, other office type jobs, hair dressing, nails, dog grooming, child care, tutoring, music lessons... & the list goes on.
Good luck to everyone seeking this type of employment!
