Soon we'll have a bumper crop of tomato, zucchini, squash, and peppers. I've also got cantaloupe and watermelon growing, but Jim does not show any indications of sharing. Pictured above are the squash blossoms.
The big news this week is Emily caught a bird! Actually she caught two of them. Unfortunately she only injured them and Jim had to "finish 'em off." We've decided that since Elizabeth is crawling and will soon be chasing Emily that Emily needed something to chase. We figure the bird community will soon label our back yard a no fly zone since we now have a killer kitty!
Elizabeth continued to perfect her crawling skills this week. At Miss Sonia's she found the bathroom and was discovered by Ruben sitting on the floor talking to herself. Then she drug Clifford, the big red dog, from the front of the house to the back then took a nap on him for a brief time. I wish we had video of that. Sonia and Ruben are amazed at her skills and feel that soon she'll have those little boys doing whatever she wants. You'll be happy to know that we had to break out the outlet covers and all exposed outlets have been covered to prevent electrocution of our little munchkin.
In addition she managed to self -feed herself the Gerber fruit puffs. Previously she played with them and ate them from my fingers. A note to grandparents and great aunts/uncles & cousins; They are the cheerios of the new millennium, they are star shaped puffs that melt in baby's mouth so it encourages self feeding and hand eye coordination, but do not pose a choking hazard. They even taste pretty good, so far I've tried banana and peach.
Elizabeth continues to love her bath time and I think she gets food in her hair each night at dinner so I have to give her a bath nightly, instead of every other. Still no teeth, but a lot of drool and chewing on everything. We think one will arrive any day now...maybe.
