I am sorry it has been so long since my last post.
Emmett has been working on more teeth. His top fangs came in and now he is getting the top middle.
So patient as I pull at his mouth :)
Cael and Mark are silly! I am not sure why they put blankets on their heads like turbans.

My boys are so sweet!
Emmett kicked is socks off so Cael was trying to put them back on.
Cael is using Handy Manny tools to give Mark a pedicure. :) Tough skin and nails I guess.
Say cheese!
Emmett loves to play in the bath. He just kicks and kicks. Now he wants to roll from his back to his tummy over and over again.
My little water baby!
Cael is too cool! He is 30 months old and still measuring big. He had a wellness check with the following measurements:
Height: 38 1/4 inches (90-97%)
Weight: 34.6 lbs (90%)
We love this shirt! Nana, Papa, Mimi, and Poppi sent it for Christmas. Not only is it a good looking shirt, but it is Michigan colors! :)
Emmett looks so handsome in the overalls Granny and Grandpa sent him.
Yesterday morning Emmett was peaking over as I changed Cael's diaper.
He managed to roll into a corner during the night. My boys both loved to snuggle up against the crib bumpers.
At Emmett's last doctor's appointment he weighed 19lbs and 13oz. In February we will for his 9 month appointment, but I'd say he is growing just fine. :)
Emmett had croup and ear infections again but he is over them now. Poor thing had to take even stronger antibiotics this time to help his ears. So what's new with Emmett Lee? He sits up with assistance otherwise he will fall forward or to the sides. He is not getting up on all fours yet but loves to roll all over the place, always getting what he wants. Due to his sensitive belly we have to take the solids a bit slower, though he loves what he has been given so far - green beans, squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, bananas, peaches, and some chicken and turkey if they are mixed with something else. He squeals and makes all kinds of fun noises. Emmett loves his big brother, watching his every move and busting our laughing at his silliness.
Cael continues to amaze me. He is so smart, his vocabulary and grammar improving each week. We have discouraged the use of the word 'stupid' even though every Disney seems to use it. If we say it without thinking he quickly corrects us. We are trying to teach him to say 'yes ma'am' and 'no sir' to be polite and respectful. As of late he is actually doing a pretty good job. Cael is very helpful with Emmett, disposing of diapers, helping when he is crying, picking up his toys, etc.
Mark gets to work a day shift, M-F until about June of this year. So we are getting spoiled with having daddy around so much. It is nice to be together more as a family. My husband is the best; in the mornings he fixes me lunch, helps get all my stuff together, helps with the boys, etc.
I hope you all have a wonderful 2011... I am looking forward to whatever life may bring. :)
I can't believe how much Cael has grown up and thinned out! He looks like a little boy now and not a baby! He's so handsome!
ReplyDeleteAnd that Emmett and those BLUE eyes! Amazing! I'm glad to hear that he's enjoying eating his baby food! Max is starting to stare at the food I eat while holding him. Soon enough, he'll be eating solids, too!
