Big Time Girl

Emily has finally started enjoying her swimming lessons! Over the last few weeks she hasn't cried during her lesson . . . and check this out . . . she has started swimming a little bit:
Abigail and I enjoy it more because we only have to stand the sweltering heat once a week instead of twice a week. This is what Abigail does during the lesson:
And speaking of Abigail . . . this girl scooped a spider up in her hands last week and popped him in her mouth! I guess she needed some extra protein. Emily screamed for me to come get it out and I swooped my finger thru her mouth and sure enough . . . a very slobbery spider was sitting on her tongue!

She has also gotten very opinionated this week. There has been several times that she has gotten her feelings VERY hurt by me taking something away from her that she can't have. It's been pretty comical because you can tell by the way she is crying that she is mad and not just a regular ol' baby cry.

I guess I need to document for the record that Abigail's first official word is bye-bye. She definitely says bye-bye and waves at you. She has also made the sign for "more" a couple of times when eating but it's hit or miss.

I also worked at my first consignment sale this week and turned in items to sell. So I got to go to my first preview sale last night and got lots of good things! Hopefully I'll also get a big fat check from my sales too : )
