Finally...A Baby Emmitt Update

Remember this little guy?
Well now he's turned in to this "little" guy. :)

Since I haven't done a post on Emmitt since he was born here's one of just him and his cuteness, and his tricks, and such. Lots, and lots of pictures.

This is our little Emmitt @ 6 days old. He had pretty bad jaundice so we had to put him under lights 24 hours for about 4 days.

It was really sad the first night he had to be under the lights he wouldn't/couldn't sleep. He was used to being all wrapped up tight and snuggled but under the lights he could only be in his diaper and a sweet eye mask. So if baby doesn't sleep then mommy doesn't sleep. It was a horrible night to say the least. By the next night he adjusted and we got a few hours of sleep. Here's to being a new mom.

Emmitt 9 days old

I love the wrinkly skin! Why do I love it so much?

One of my all time favorite pictures! 10 days old.

Christian LOVES his brother! He always wants to hold him and play with him. He came up to me the other day and gave me a big hug and said, "Thanks for giving us baby Emmitt, Mom."

Make me cry!

Oh, my how I LOVE those chubby checks! Oh, and those lips!

2 Months old.

Jocelyn loves to play "Mommy" with Emmitt. I found her reading him stories and giving him toys to keep him company. :)

Loving chopping on his fist these days, oh and anything else he can get his hands on.

He has the SADDEST cry of all time!

Hmmm, how does that taste?

Just workin' out.

Sweet, sweet boy!

Learning to sit up!

Almost ready to roll from tummy to back! He's also getting good at grabbing toys and sticking them straight into his mouth. He is always lifting his head and trying to check out the world especially in his car seat. What a BIG boy! In one week he'll be 5 months!

Well there you have just a few of the highlights of his life thus far. We LOVE him to pieces and really can't get enough of him. I thought that the kids would have to go through some adjusting periods once we brought him home, but they have been awesome and have kinda just acted like he's been here their whole lives. How lucky Emmitt is to have such a great Brother and Sister to look after him. And how LUCKY, and BLESSED we are for having this sweet, loving, smiling, baby boy!

Jocelyn: "Emmitt took my spot."
Heather: "He took your spot where?"
Jocelyn: "Emmitt took my spot in yo belly." pause... "and I took Christian's spot! Fun-ny"

Christian: "Mom I want you to have 100 kids."

Heather: "You must not want to have a Mom then."
Christian: " Yes, I do. You could just have them one at a time, about every year or so."
Heather: "Why do you want me to have so many kids?"
Christian: "So I can be their big brother, and play with them, and take care of them like Emmitt."

and after we explained to him what a reasonable # of kids would be we got this out of him a couple days later.
