Since my last post Emmett has been very busy working on trying to walk. He will probably be taking his first steps in a matter of weeks. He can now pull himself up onto just about anything (especially everyones legs lol) and he can crawl on all fours like a monkey, among other amazing things! He hasn't gained a pound in over 2 months so I guess he has finally stopped getting fatter! ha ha He can say a few variations of dad such as, dad, dada and daddy but still no mom yet. He also has said "baby" and "dog" but not with any frequency. Unfortunately it seems as though our poor little Emmett will be having food problems for a while. So far he has had a severe reactions to peanuts, a minor reaction to green beans and most recently he had a minor reaction to either eggs or formula (not sure which since we introduced them at the same time) so we are not to give him either for at least a month. WHAT A MESS! Not sure what to do about the formula thing as he isn't "allowed" to have cow's milk until at least one year (or at least thats what the doctor says) and I'm away from the house all day 3 days a week now and sometimes 5 if I work the weekend. With the way things have gone so far with Emmett's adventures into food testing, I don't think we should risk it! lol

Anyway, here is a video of my failed attempt to get Emmett to say "dad" on camera but he is so cute I just HAD to post it! Enjoy!

Emmett got to go to his first Browns game over the weekend. It was a great day! He even fell asleep for about 20 minutes despite the noise of the crowd. I was shocked that he sat with us without complaint for a little over an hour. I think he was mesmerized by all the people and noise.

Emmett's uncle Jon was here to visit over the weekend as well. They had a great time together! Jon is so animated with him and Emmett just eats it up. The boy it truly blessed with a great family.
Our little dare devil climbing the stairs and loving it.
Cruising in the Jeep while mom cooks dinner.

This is about thirty minutes into the keyboarding session and I think Emmett is getting sick of sharing. lol

These videos are from about a month and a half ago. I forgot all about them until today when Arron asked me about them. Emmett and Dustin really enjoy making noise together and a lot of times Arron likes to jump in and make noise too.

Enjoy!

Emmett's new wheels! This little lion has given him a sense on independence and he is running with it, literally! lol

All of our boys

Sorry it's been so long since my last post! It's been a very busy, very crazy few weeks to say the least. So much has happened with Emmett lately. In one month he has perfected his crawling skills, started standing up on his own, and started pulling himself up onto toys, furniture and of course all of us. He has also, just today tried his chances with going up the steps. His progress is blowing my mind! I can't believe how much he is doing and he seems to be pretty fearless about it.

We were playing on the floor today as he started crawling toward the steps. I just watched and followed, thinking "theres noway he'll actually be able to do it on the first try." Sure enough, up one step then two steps.... he probably would have climbed to the top if I would have let him! And he is still a week away from being 7 months old!! Our little baby will be a walking toddler before we now it. :'(

Here are a few pictures and a video of Emmett's venture up the steps today. Enjoy!
