Out Sick

It's official. Emmett has experienced his first illness. He started to vomit Wednesday morning (it's now Sunday) and proceeded to have the WORST diarrhea EVER. He gave it to me and Ben so our whole house was puking and visiting the toilet a lot. Actually, I fared pretty well since I was only sick for a night. Both Ben and Emmett have been sick for 5 days now. Ugh. And if you are wondering - the diapers are awful and a lot of laundry has been washed in this house.

On top of the sickness we lost our remote control to the TV. I am being tortured in my own home. Surrounded by sick boys with no TV to watch. Yes, I know I could just walk up to the TV and push the on button but really, it's just not the same.

Here is Emmett on Tuesday - the day before he was sick. We went to visit some friends who had a dollhouse. He decided to climb into it.

Emmett is trying to comb Ben's hair.

I don't think Ben finds it relaxing and enjoyable.

Here is the next morning. Pathetic, right?


So I started feeding him and he fell asleep in his high chair. I suppose if I had this thing called mother's intuition I would know he was sick. But I just thought he was tired.

He hasn't has any solids for 5 days now so he's really hungry. So he puts everything in his mouth. But I'm pretty sure he would be putting things in his mouth anyway regardless of his illness.

Comb

Q-tip he somehow got out of the box.

And here is trying to eat the camera.

I'm really hoping he starts to get better soon.

Hanging with Gma and Gpa!

Emmett has been visiting Grandma and Grandpa B. the past two Fridays. He sure has a lot of fun with them!!

He likes the spatula.

I think he's got a little something on his cheek.

You can see his little tooth!

He's a happy boy!

Getting Things Done

This post should actually be called NOT getting things done. Cause how am I suppose to get anything done when I have a baby that gets into mischief?

So then he goes into baby jail.

9 Months!

I've been neglecting the baby blog lately. Sorry. Wedding season has begun so I'm spending a lot of time working and also trying to keep up with my business blog. As much as I love to talk about Emmett - it doesn't make the family money.

So we went to Emmett's 9 month check up a couple of days ago. Overall, he's doing well but let's just say Emmett is one tall, skinny baby with a big ol' head.

Height: 29" (75th percentile)
Weight: 19 lbs. 14 oz. (30th percentile)
Head Circumference: 46.5 cm or something like that. I can't remember. But I do remember the nurse telling me that his head is in the 80th percentile. Wow - Emmett has got quite the noggin.

Emmett's Milestones:
- He has a little tooth coming in.
- He's a scooting maniac and doing what is called the "army" crawl. He's starting to rock back and forth on his hands and knees but hasn't figured out how to move.
- The other day he pulled himself up to standing position all by himself. He was very proud of this achievement. How do I know this? Cause he gave out a squeal and flashed a semi-toothy grin at us.
-He's now eating Cheerios but doesn't know how to feed himself yet. He just opens his mouth and expects me to pop one in there for him. Of course I do cause I'm clearly starving him (being in the 20th percentile for weight.)
- He now eats oatmeal, avocados, bananas, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, yogurt, apples, pears, peaches, peas and rice.

First time eating a cheerio.

What do you want me to do again? Feed myself? Yeah right.

If you give me a spoon I can make a mess.

This is where I put him when I have to pee. He loves his jumpy.

This is where we must contain Emmett. Also known as baby jail.

Poor Emmett. He's stuck in baby jail.

Like a true inmate he broke free...
He's blurry cause he was moving really fast.
