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.
