Pulling up

We had a special request for a shot of the E-man pulling himself up. His baby gate is one of his favorite places for standing, because he wants to figure out how to get over the thing. It won't be long I'm sure.

He's really on the move now.

From the big Thanksgiving trip - his first look at a Christmas tree at Andy's grandmother's house...



And a short visit with his cousin Hank (of course, at this point, Hank is more interested in his yoga pose, and Emmett is fascinated with the trash bag...)




Here's a picture of what Hank was doing just before the movie. Apparently, Emmett's bald head was something of a novelty to him. Either that, or he's reading his mind.

Back in mid-November, he was just learning to crawl.

A bird's-eye view in the kitchen...



And his longest crawl up til that point was to go get Momma when she came home from work -
(You can almost hear the theme song to "Chariots of Fire" during his little marathon...)

Catching up on some backlog after our big Thanksgiving tour.

Here are three videos from mid-November playing in his room...

Mommy coming home...


and bathtime - he's a pretty impressive splasher.



especially when you add the duckie...

Pushing the giant ball...


I think Sisyphus was the guy in Greek mythology who was doomed to push an enormous ball up a hill, then watch it roll back over and over. Obviously, that guy's problem was that he never tried to eat the giant ball after the pushing didn't work.

Almost too big for the hamper.

Dogs and Drums 10-19

Sometimes the only one who understands is the dog...


And while we were in San Fran for Brooke's boards exam, Emmett discovered some new drumming skills...

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's that kid in there?

A little drumming...


and the bedtime book.

Playtime with the mirror and the drum...

Shaking the rattle...

And now he's eating. This first attempt is sweet potato only partly mashed up. Compare to the next video - sweet potato finely run through the blender with some milk. It goes better, not surprisingly...

Emmett Minute 8-29

He's noticing the doggies...


and, here's a bonus short of him soiling the couch a couple of weeks ago. Yes, we did have to wash the cover afterward.

Emmett Minute 8-25

His ambition during changing time is to yank the big dog off the wall...




and the next morning, success.

Who says you can't get a workout riding the train? Thank goodness it was only 17 hours long...

Emmett Minute 8-19

Baby exercise in the hotel this weekend.

Emmett Minute 8-18

Okay, I realized that it's been awhile since the little man has made it to the little screen here. We've had guests and have just returned from a wedding in California, so there's some catching up to do.

Also, I'm trying a new format for sending out the email notice. Let me know if you don't get this. (har har).



Just hanging out on the couch, listening to some Bob Marley and eating some foot.

And now we're rolling - a three-part series...

First bites

Here's the E-man's first taste of "solid" food: a little avacado mashed up with his regular milk.

Fun and excitement in the exersaucer

His first time in a Johnny-Jump-Up. My arms are just as excited as he is about this.

if that didn't work

Try opening that first email and clicking on "emmett minute" at the bottom. Maybe that'll take you to the page where the video will play...

Thanks for your patience

Hey y'all, I'm testing out a new way to send out little videos of the little dude without crashing your email account. Let me know how it works. Hopefully, you can click on the video and it'll take you to the blog page where it'll play.


He's figuring out how to swat the toy for the first time. I was transfixed. After about 15 minutes, he had it all figured out.
