Emily is working on holding her own bottle.

Megan learned how to put raspberries on her fingers.



Megan is now brave enough to go down the slide all by herself!


Megan has learned what FUN it is to throw a toy for the dog.
Unfortunately, the dog isn't convinced this is fun!



I broke my poor little pinkie toe!!
Damn furniture just jumps out and attacks!

I hope to update my pics page soon. I just loaded all of July onto the computer so I just need to back those up on the external drive and/or CDs and put them on the Shutterfly page. I'll let you know when they're online.

Megan and I started our "mommy and me" swim lessons this week. The first day was an absolute nightmare. My mild mannered perfect little child threw her first public tantrum. She was so excited to be there that she didn't understand the need to wait and listen to instructions. She loved the water but hated the fact that mommy had to hold on tight and she couldn't do whatever she wanted. We ended up leaving early because she just wanted to run around. That's just not acceptable around a pool. Sorry kiddo! She has gotten better. She was so excited this morning when I got her suit out I think she'll be upset that we're not going tomorrow. Maybe we'll have to hit the neighborhood pool this weekend and Emily can swim too! It's funny because the instructor is trying to teach these little kids how to swim and they don't have a clue or the desire to "kick kick kick" with their feet or "scoop scoop scoop" with their hands. They just want to play. I am enjoying some one-on-one time with Megan though and the pool feels so good since it's already 90* outside for our 10:00 am class!

Emily is finally catching on to this whole "eating with a spoon" thing. She wasn't wild about the idea at first but is really enjoying it now. And right now she would like to enjoy a bottle so I guess I need to go! :-)
