Emily Talking

Well we cleaned out our garage today. I'm so glad we got it done! Most of the boxes were empty because we've been saving them for a future move one day. So we put all the empty boxes in the attic and threw away a bunch of junk we haven't used since we moved it into this garage almost 6 years ago : ) Here's a before and after shot:


The big green tarp below will also be gone at Christmas when we give Emily her kitchen set that we're hiding under there. We also plan to put a freezer in place of the table so we can start storing more food. I love that I can now easily walk to that part of the garage and can also store the 3 play cars that Emily has now.

This morning we went to the Cobb County Library book sale. They happened to be having a rodeo at the same place so one of the men let Emily pet the horses:
We were definitely amateurs at this book sale. People had their list of authors and were walking thru the aisles with their big boxes and suitcases to buy lots of books. Hardbacks were $1 and paperbacks were 50 cents! I bought 3 books. Next time we will come more prepared and can fit in with the crowd : )

I FINALLY got Emily on video saying as many words as I could think of while I had her attention. She keeps saying "Emily" and bouncing up and down because she wants to watch herself on the video. I kept drawing a blank on words to ask her to say, so we went thru a bunch of names. Enjoy!

It's amazing to me how much she is talking now. Check her out just 4 and a half months ago starting to talk . . . wow!
