Elizabeth has her first tooth! I discovered it yesterday and after making her really mad I was able to pry her little mouth open to see just the top of it sticking out. Her grumpiness has declined now that its popped out! I'm sure the second is on its way, since I can feel a bump on the right side.
Elizabeth continues to love the water. We went swimming three times this past week; once with Auntie Pat. Each times she kicks her legs constantly and will go underwater without fear or hesitation. She will also sit on the edge of the pool and fall forward into the water laughing the entire time. Another trick of hers is to fall forward when sitting on the steps then swim away. She is an excellent swimmer for only being eight months old. She will kick her legs like crazy with her face in the water paddling her hands when passed between two adults... a natural! While at the pool she is good for about 20 min. in the water then ready for a snack and juice and some people watching. Hopefully this week we'll hang around to see if she wants to do round two in the pool.
Angel and Emily add to the excitement as usual. Angel has decided that she loves Elizabeth's food and likes to help her eat it if not carefully watched. Also, after Elizabeth is finished Angel likes to pre-wash her high chair tray. Dont worry we clean it before its used again! In addition, Angel likes to help Jim do the dishes. She inspects the dishwasher often and does not mind when small amounts of water are splashed. Sometimes Emily is so tired from the activities of the kitten and baby she has to find interesting places to nap.
We are anxiously looking forward to our trip to Indiana with Lisa and James next week. Then our trip to Pennsylvania will follow in July. This summers travels are much shorter and calmer compared to previous years, but I'm not complaining since I'm somewhat enjoying the time at home.
