Pucker Up!

Emmett has added a new talent to his bag of tricks - he can now kiss! It sometimes is slobbery but I'll take it. I love Emmett kisses. The best part? The way he looks when he puckers up.

Isn't that face just so kissable?!

Laundry Basket Uses

Emmett's favorite toy right now is the laundry basket. He has discovered all of the wonderful things you can do with it other than holding dirty clothes. Who needs toys?

You can sit in it.

Emmett likes to test gravity with it.

He learns that he cannot defy gravity.

He's like a cat. Always lands on his feet.

Turn the basket upside down and you have something to lounge on.

I'm getting tired so I'm going to get down....

and lay on the floor.

But wait! Why lie on the floor when you can rest on top of the laundry basket?!

One Year Check Up

Emmett had his one year check up with the Doctor earlier this week. He did great!

Head: I don't know the exact measurements but he has a big head. 95th percentile.
Height: 31" 75th percentile
Weight: 21 lbs. 12oz. 40th percentile.

Emmett is a lollipop. Big head with skinny chopstick legs. He had 3 shots and didn't cry. What a good baby!

And a blog entry is no good unless you post some pictures - so here are some photos of Emmett showing his Spoon Tricks. Thanks Grandpa Ed for sharing the pictures!

Crawling+Mischief = Emmett

Emmett is really enjoying his mobility. He's quite the expert crawler now which means I have to keep an eye on him all the time. Cause if I don't - this is what happens....

He climbs on to things.

And doesn't know how to get down.

He plays with the soot from the fireplace - and it's fake fireplace. So I really have no idea where he found the dirt nor do I want to find out.

A Fashion Statement

I went to get Emmett from his nap the other morning. I thought he took a really long nap. But he was really working on a new "look" for his next fashion shoot.

Presenting...the one shoulder look! It's so fierce.

This is his face when he's very happy. Mouth open no sound coming out. I love it.

I think the scoop neckline is very flattering. Accentuates his chubby cheeks.

I Heart Emmett

I know. I am suppose to. He's my flesh and blood. I am totally biased but I don't care. Emmett is freakin' cute. Here is proof.

I'm working with him trying to get him to sit up on his own.

He's not so good at it.

He doesn't really care if he can sit up.

And when he falls over I attack him from behind. He likes it.

Give me that camera.

Hanging out with his monkey.

6 Months!

Emmett is now 6 months old. My how time flies. He's a big tub of chubby and when the Dr. saw him the other day she said, "Hi Emmett! Where is your neck?" You see, his face is so chubby that you can't see his neck. But he has a neck for sure. That's where he stores all of his favorite items like lint, spit and milk junk.

Here are his stats:
Weight: 16 lbs. 1 ounce (he's gained 1lb 3 ounces since his 4 month check up) 50th percentile
Height: 27 inches (60th-75th percentile)
Head Circumference: I can't remember the measurement number but it was in the 75th percentile.

He also received 2 shots and hardly cried at all. What a trooper!

Emmett has also found some new tasty treats to nibble on. Check it out!

He's a happy baby!

Chew Toys

I can't believe how fast time goes by. I had a lot of parents, especially moms tell me to enjoy each day because they grow up so quickly and it's true. Emmett is almost 6 months and that's freaking me out!! We are getting ready to feed solids next week once we get the okay from the Dr. So Emmett's latest trick has been drooling and chewing. His favorite past time includes screaming and chewing on his toys. It's like I have a dog (almost).

When ever I get out the camera he goes from happy, smiley baby to this. Nothing. He just stares at me like I'm crazy.

Hello. I'm reading my book. Please leave me alone so I can have some quiet time.

I shall eat my book once you are not looking. This book is very tasty. Needs some salt though.

I swear this is not a dog's toy. He likes to chew on the bone.

I'm working on putting some pics of Emmett from the last 6 months to see how much he has changed. Stay tuned!
