and the first word is...

dada. Dave is so happy! I am a little bit jealous :) Emma is the first one speaking...Lily bables but no real words yet. Lily is clapping her hands though...she is so proud of herself!! They are both sitting up on their own now and so much fun to play with. The weather has been so beautiful here so we have been playing outside a lot and the girls just LOVE that.

Getting a new dog so soon was probably not my best idea...I know I was hurting from losing Hannah. But this puppy is quite a handful...he is adorable, sweet, cuddly, and overall a great mellow guy BUT he has been pooping and peeing all over the house which has just been driving me crazy--so he is now contained to the mudroom and I take him outside every 2-3 hours for bathroom breaks. I hope he will learn quickly! I'm trying to find a trainer who will come to the house and help me mold him into a very well mannered dog. Cavaliers are not very smart...so wish me luck! Love, Jen
