Wow-it's a long one!!!

Well-we had a good visit in Columbus.  Emily had a blast hanging out with her cousin Saylor...she beats up on him a little now-he's gonna get her back one of these days!!  They were so cute though kinda playing with each other-mostly stealing each other's pacis-can't wait to watch them grow up together!  I was with the two of them by myself for 15 minutes or so-it made me thankful that I didn't have twins!!  It was such hard work-while I was cleaning up Saylor from dinner, I had to stop because Emily was getting into the dog food.  While I was cleaning her up from that Saylor was getting upset.  So I tended to him, tried to give him a bottle-he didn't want that so I put him in the exersaucer.  While I did that-I turned around and Emily was drinking Saylor's bottle (I guess if they were twins at least it would be milk from the same Mama!!!).  A lot of fun-but thankful that it wasn't longer than 15 minutes!!!  A whole new respect for parents of multiples-that's for sure!

We had lots of fun-went to the zoo, went to a concert in the park, and of course I got to go see Tim and Faith-aahhhhh that made my week complete!!!  Good concert-realized that I've now seen him 5 times in the last 9 years....boy that's sad...oh well!!!

Emily's still not quite walking-she wants to so bad though!!!  She gets around so quick!  She's into everything too-such a busy little girl.  So fun though-she's a smart one (of course I'd think that!).  She's got a couple more teeth on the top cutting through-she's learning to bite into things (food) with them-she thinks she's such the big girl.  We also are thinking that she said her first word...maybe??  Kinda sounds like she's saying ball-we're going to have to watch another day or so just to make sure she knows what she's saying and we're not just thinking that she's saying it....could be her first word though.  She's funny too with shaking her head "no" everytime we tell her "no" (which might be frequently since she's into everything!!).  Oh yeah-something else she learned this week-I think I need to get a picture for this though-my brother taught her to throw her arms up in the air when he says "touchdown" it's pretty funny-she's too darn cute!!  

Anyways-it's obviously been an entertaining and busy week....Emily has her 9 month checkup tomorrow morning (even though she's almost 10 months at this point-oh well).  I think
she's gonna get a couple of shots :(  I'm excited to see how much she weighs now though!  Well Ok, here's a few pictures..

Saylor, my sister Michelle, Emily and my mom checking out the elephants at the zoo (OK actually I don't know what Emily is checking out in this picture-everyone else is looking at the elephants)




Just chilling at the zoo (I don't know why it's underlining again)
