Hi all,
Apologies for the late postings - we've been getting ready for our big move to Virginia. Here are a few videos - one at our "old" house, two at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival (a 10-yr anniversary present for Mommy and Daddy), and then three in the backyard of our temporary home for our last few days in Salt Lake.
Hope you're all well!

Emmett Minute 5/11

Walking around the house, exploring music, and a camping trip...

Emmett Minute 4-27

Back to the table for some eating fun -

Emmett Minute 4-26

Some walking practice - on Tuesday April 13, he decided that he was no longer a crawler. Now he only goes onto all fours for emergencies, like when the dog water bowl is on the floor, or the door to the bathroom is left open. Otherwise, he wants to walk.







And a big moment: he can now put the letters into the toy mail slot. (His career possibilities just increased ten-fold)

Emmett Minute 4-8

Busy burying his carrots



Discovering his first bug





And walking, crawling, and saying dog.

Emmett Minutes 3-31

Yes, a couple more videos of our little eater. Brooke introduced him to soymilk while I was gone for the weekend, and it was apparently a hit.








Also, here are some clips of his tromping around the living room. And yes, we are shamelessly getting him interested in the basketball at an early age...

Emmett's first shot at walking

Here are three videos of our newly-mobile kid. He's being urged on with a pumpkin-chocolate-chip cookie, and cheered on by Zac and Jen, two friends visiting from California. He's been standing unsupported for a couple of weeks, but this was the first time he started moving.

Emmett Minute 3-5

We drove down to Zion Nat'l Park over the weekend. Emmett was fascinated by the dirt and leaves, and also had his first taste of lemon...

Emmett Minute 3-4

Enjoying snack time with Julia

Emmett Minute 3-3

A couple of videos of the destructor - first a block tower, then the camera.

The E-man is tasting some snow as we walk around the "ice-castle village" up near Park City. The voice behind the camera is Emmett's grandmother out here in Utah for a visit.




And three scenes of the birthday cake afterward. On instant replay, you can tell that the candle is blown out just in time...

Scenes from the table

This is really him laughing at a napkin for 60 seconds.



And here are two clips from his banana snack the other day.

Emmett Minute 2-4

Hanging out with the dog

Emmett Minute 1-27

He really enjoyed his new book -




And here's his first day of sledding! He was completely unresponsive - no fear, no joy, no reaction...





And back home taking care of some mail he needed to send.

Emmett Minute 1/15

He's now 11 months old. Here are a few clips of him around the house -

Free-range babyhood:




His new developmental milestone: snorting like a piggy-
(this one's coming out at his high school graduation...)



And here he is, waking up from the morning nap today:

Emmett Minute 1/13

Some time with the dogs, and then with his little friend Julia.
