Oh my gosh she has teeth!!

Isabelle has decided that she has these 2 sharp little things in her mouth and therefore she should use them to her full advantage. You know, Daddy won't share his dinner so I will bite him. mommy won't give me that toy, I'll bite her too. The dog looks tasty let me try him out. Not only does she bite but she bites hard. She left teethmarks on Colin's leg and I swear I thought she drew blood on my finger when I, God forbid, tried to take a piece of plastic out of her mouth. Pardon me for not wanting her to choke. She bites so hard that she starts to shake while she is doing it. I am not really sure what standard procedure for dealing with a biting 9 month old is. Does anyone have a book or a video or something?

This week has seemed to drag by mostly because Emily is home from school and feeling better which means back to the whining and arguing. Lucky me. I don't know if it is a phase but every time I ask her to do something or say no to something that she wants to do she throws herself on the floor and cries. Not just any cry but this nails on a chalkboard, someone call the cops because my mother is tearing off my arm kind of cry. If there was a competition for best temper tantrum Emily would win hands down. I am not sure this is something to be proud of but hey what are you gonna do.

Yesterday was nice weather and so I decided to open the door and let in some fresh air. The dog went and sat nicely on the step and apparently the cat snuck out too because as of 9 last night we were outside yelling and calling like a couple of idiots only to discover that the stupid creature had fallen asleep under the step and just didn't want to come in. I was on the fence about whether or not I wanted to find him or forget about him. Don't get me wrong I love my animals but one can only take so much peeing on laundry and pooping in closets. Want to know what else I did yesterday? I rearranged my living room. Why might you ask did I do this. Well Isabelle in all her mobile state had escaped my living room and tried to crawl down the stairs headfirst (note to self. Must buy baby gate) after that she made it to the bathroom and was again playing in the toilet, this time with toys YUCK!! I mean the toilet was clean but still, its the principle of the thing.

Today I am going to clean my house some more and try to conquer mount laundry. If you don't hear from me for a while you know that I am lost somewhere on the summit lol. Lynda and the kids are out and Ally is having a sleep over so her and Emily are playing and keeping each other occupied. Tonie will be out tomorrow and we are having a BBQ so it should be lots of fun. Well back to cleaning and folding. Have a good day everyone.
