Tomorrow Brooklyn will be 9 months old! She is growing up so fast. She is learning to wave, although if we ever want to show anyone she refuses to do it of course. Stubborn child. Brooklyn does this thing where she purses her lips, wrinkles her nose and breaths in and out real hard. It's the funniest thing ever. If you do it to her, about 80% of the time she does it back. I'll try to get a video of her doing it... with my new camera!!! We bought a NIKON with 12 mega pixels and has High Def video recording. I've been wanting one for so long now and our phone camera's have just not been doing our little kids justice so I'm so happy we finally got one! Thank you tax returns!

Emma's new thing this week is peeing on the floor right next to the toilet. Then she takes her pants off and goes and throws it in the dirty clothes and tells me to clean it up. Really Emma? What the crap happened to her? Last week she was a pro and this week she could care less. I've been praying for patience with her and she is making me earn it. One day this last week I cleaned up spilled milk, spilled cereal on the carpet, pee off the ground (twice) and on the countertop (again), and a broken egg on the kitchen floor all caused by Emma. She's definitely keeping me busy.

Emma's such a smart little fart, she makes me laugh with her grown-up comments. Yesterday I was getting something out of the fridge and I started to shut the door and hit my elbow on the door and I was saying, "Ouch, Fetch, Ouch Ouch Ouch, Fetch." Emma said, "what's wrong mom?" So I told her that I hit my elbow on the door and she responds, "Mom... have to be careful, okay?" "Get hurt if you're not careful." Thanks Emma. I must say that kind of stuff to her. I guess I'll try to be more careful next time.
