O.K.. So it looks like it's going to take some time to get into the habit of updating this blog! I just need to get into the habit of doing it! There has been a lot going on around here at the Simpson home. Particularly with the girls. Avery took her first few (unassisted) steps yesterday. I know it's not the most exciting news for anyone who isn't a parent, but for us it was HUGE! She has been so frustrated because she wants to walk and keep up with her big sister. Pretty soon she will be totally mobile! I can't believe it! She also cut her very first tooth! I noticed this morning as I was getting rid of some paper she was chewing on. Yes, she is over 10 months old and yes, most babies her age have a least 2 teeth by now. But not for my babies! Tooth number one has finally appeared! Avery is actually ahead of schedule! Ella's first tooth didn't come in until a week before her first birthday. Hooray for Avery!
In other, more depressing news, Ella suffered her first big accident. On Carlos' birthday she was helping me get ready for his party and she slipped and fell right on her front tooth. It was bleeding, chipped and a little loose. Well, we thought we were in the clear until about 5 days later. It gradually started turning from pearly white to a nice shade of grey. So sad! Luckily it's only her baby tooth, but it still will never be the same.
Anyways, I have some pictures of Ella's very sad grey tooth and some new one's of Avery I'll post soon.
Take care!

Emily,
I am so sorry! I swear I just got your message yesterday. My lame phone never tells me when I have vm. I'm so sorry.
She may have a gray tooth, but she is still beautiful! :)
Hey, Emily, I stumbled upon your blog. I loved being w/you and Carlos & the girls at the family reunion! It was way too short, but... Anyway, watching you w/the kids made me miss the baby-preschool years happiness and at the same time, relieved our kids can do many things for themselves (like walk, so your arms are aching ....okay, MOST of the time, except when they WON'T & you need them to....)I guess there's a reason we tend to have babies young--the sheer physical exertion required, huh? I hope to see you for real soon, cause the time DOES go by way too fast. One day, it'll be just the kids carrying on the relationships. Love to you-Amy
