More of Emmett

When Emmett is doing something that requires concentration it helps if he opens his mouth really wide.

Here he was working on pulling a wipe out & stuffing it back in. I think it's so cute.

When I'm sitting down he'll bring an open book to me & give me his cute "I want something face" until I put him on my lap.

Up close you can see he has finally gotten a 3rd lower tooth.

Whenever he has a book it has to be open.

Big boy

He's getting so big. Here are some of his new tricks.

Christmas 2010

Christmas Eve we headed to snowy Paris.

This picture was taken in Orem but I can't move it once it's downloaded.

Emmett thought his cousin Boston was pretty funny. He enjoyed watching him play Mario bros.

Here we are back to Christmas day. He's eating this candy cane with the wrapper on. I know someday he'll know but for now I can avoid the stickiness.

Megan, Wyatt, & well, what should we call Emmett's big brown bear Megan got for him?

Jared, Megan, & I went skiing at Beaver one day. It was very cold!

Emmett & Granny C playing in the snow

He likes being outside even if he can't move from being so bundled up.

I didn't do very well at taking pictures this year so I guess I know what a New Year Resolution should be for me.

My 27th birthday.

Jared had to leave on my actual birthday so he planned something fun for us. He had a free hotel stay so we stayed in Salt Lake on the 26th and that night went to see the lights at Temple Square then ate at The Roof. Yes we had Emmett which was a lot of fun and he was such a good boy even in the cold.

Bundled up for Temple Square. He did NOT want us to cover his cupholder handles with the blanket.

Our view from the Restaurant.

The next day Jared had me do a green tea body wrap at the Grand America while he & Emmett took a nap.

Then I got to watch these two swim. Emmett LOVES swimming or anything to do with water.

This was after one of the many dunks Jared gave him.

It was a great birthday! Next year I turn 28 on the 28th and Jared will turn 31 on the 31st.

Bookworm

This boy has liked books for quite awhile. He especially loves when they have flaps to open and will pretend to read by saying ma ma ma ma. It is the cutest thing ever.

This was at Andrea's before Christmas, my mom, Andrea, and I were looking at a Christmas catalog and talking about stuff then we heard him jibbering and looked over to see him reading his own magazine. so cute

Jared & I were in the other room and thought my parents were with Emmett because he was jibbering for so long then came to find him by himself "reading."

That's my little bookworm, hope this continues because he has a lot of books to get through.

13 Months

It's hard to imagine loving this boy more & more each day but somehow I manage to. He keeps surprising us with the things he learns. He's starting to copy what we say and is getting really good at "uh oh" & "what." Each week I have to update Jared on the new things he is doing.

My darling cousin took these pictures for me while we were in Rexburg.....and she was 40 weeks pregnant. There were too many good ones to choose from so I posted a lot & had to leave out the many others I LOVE.

This is what he does when he's trying to tell you something or point to what he wants.

For the first several shots he just gave us a blank look and sat very still.

Bubbles!

He's getting good at stacking blocks and has always been good at knocking them down.

He loves putting anything in his mouth. Here he has a tiny bell.

My cousin had a cute baby boy today! I can't thank her enough for doing this & am grateful her baby stayed in a bit longer so she was able to.

Birthday Boy

I can't believe my baby is 1! He is a fun little busy body & I'm lucky he's mine. He scoot crawls & likes to stand up any chance he gets, including during the middle of the night. He likes me to help him walk everywhere & LOVES exploring new things, going on walks in his stroller & dogs & cats.

His actual birthday was spent with just he & I since Jared didn't get home until late that night.

Here he is looking innocent

He kept trying to eat the stem which is rough & I was worried it would scratch his gums.

He didn't like me telling him not to eat it.


Now he's happy but with tears in his eyes.



His birthday party was the day after & happened to be the warmest day of the week. Jared grilled hamburgers & hot dogs.

Wyatt loves "muffin cakes"

Emmett had a lot of good help opening presents.

Cake time.

Now he's one so he should sleep through the night by now right?

I have a hard time finding things he can eat with only a few teeth. He won't drink milk so I made some chocolate pudding to eat with his carrots.

We went to Disney On Ice with Casey & Mel & sadly I didn't really get pictures. Here's the best we got with Emmett & Wyatt. It was fun & Emmett did really well. I was worried he'd hate it.

Hogle Zoo & pumpkin patch

In the middle of October we went to Hogle Zoo & a pumpkin patch with Casey, Melanie, Wyatt, & Charlie. It was a surprisingly hot day & we were a bit over dressed so Emmett got to hang out at the zoo with no pants. He liked the animals but really enjoyed holding on to the the fences & riding in his stroller. My pictures are in the wrong order & I can't move them.

Wy Wy measuring up to the gorrillas

We took the awesome train ride. Emmett actually liked it.

The next day we relaxed then ate at our local (not-so-great) Family Tree Restuarant then went to the Red Barn for ice cream.

It was a fun weekend!
