I just LOVE Emmitt! His cheeks are starting to fill out which makes them even more irresistible.

Kevin LOVES to give Emmitt his bath- definitely Dad and Son time.

Coco Photo Shoot 3 weeks old

Here are some pictures that Coco took. Emmitt is a doll!!! Things continue to go well. He is starting to "coo" and look around. He really enjoys looking in mirrors and smiling. Grandpa Bob is now visiting. They have enjoyed taking walks together and Grandpa Bob is a bouncy seat pro- thanks Holden and Killian Devereux. What else is there to say...Emmitt is a great baby, we love him, and love to show him off!

Auntie Sara- a wonderful sister and fabulous Aunt!

SO cute in a winnie the pooh hat- okay Emmitt does not look thrilled as he hates hats.

Nap time for the Jackson men

Look at that sweet baby!Emmitt loves the bath and the Apricot oil massage after!

Grandma Jo giving Emmitt a bath, Emmitt's favorite pastime.

Grandpa Larry and Grandma Jo had a great trip. It was very hard for them to say goodbye. Emmitt showed them lots of love and it was definitely reciprocated! Aunt Sara came for a short but sweet visit right after the grandparents. It was difficult for Aunt Sara to leave her boys but they were kind enough to let Emmitt get a little Auntie Sara love. Auntie Sara's specialty was singing "you are my sunshine" to Emmitt. He loved it and showed her by smiling and cooing back.

Big day for Emmitt- first bottle. Emmitt has to get used to having a bottle when I go back to work so Dad was able to give a bottle for the first time. Emmitt had no issues chugging the bottle and Kevin was able to bond in a whole new way with his babe.
Poor grandma Jo, she has a cold so has been wearing a mask when she holds Emmitt. He still really responds to her voice though. She is working her magical Grandma skills here.

Grandpa Larry with his sweet boy!

Kevin was hungry

I put Emmitt in these pants and then he started to get fussy. I think it is because he was thinking "don't ever put me in these pants again mom. I don't appreciate having duck feet in public". Anyways- super cute!

VIVA LA REVOLUTION! This is the wonderful gift that G-pa Larry and G-ma Jo purchased for Emmitt (okay his mother is REALLY excited) today. It is a BOB stroller and will be used for many adventures in the city and beyond. Thank you Jackson Grandparents!
My favorite time of day with Emmitt is after he first wakes up and eats breakfast. During this time he is calm, relaxed, and full of smiles. On this day Kevin was home so we spent extra time in bed snuggling Emmitt and getting him to coo and show us his beautiful smile.

Early Morning light in bed, so sweet!

BATH TIME!

Grandpa and Grandma Jackson arrived 2 days ago and have been doting upon Emmitt, as all good grandparents should. Emmitt has been enjoying grandpa Larry carrying him in his big hands and has been enjoying his grandma Jo's soothing voice. Emmitt continues to be full of smiles and is really an enjoyable baby. He has decided to wake up over the past week from his newborn sleep and does not want to sleep as much at night, however continues to get at least 6-7 hours a night. We have been truly blessed by this mellow addition to our family.

What a sweet boy!

G-ma Strayer got to be part of the shoot. She is so good at making him smile! I think he is admiring her.

Emmitt was so chill during this part. He just laid there and looked right at Coco. He even hid his "parts" as Coco requested.

Emmitt waiting for his big photo shoot debut.

This was a picture taken before Emmitt attended his first party with his friends from our centering group. We had to dress him extra cute of course! Thanks Auntie Sara for the cute sweater suit.


Our good friend Coco, a photographer, offered to do a photo shoot of Emmitt when he is still small. Emmitt did great. He looked right at Coco and didn't cry until the very end, when he'd had it with being naked and changed a million times. The pictures turned out great. Here are some pictures we took during the photo shoot. Emmitt is clearly a natural model (spoken like a true mother)! Ha ha!

Okay- here it is the g-ma Smile!

Just because I think it is a cute picture

I think Kevin is in love!

So Sweet!

Emmitt the little birdie. When you kiss him he expects a tasty milk treat!

Everything continues to go great with Emmitt. He is tricking us I think by sleeping most of the night. At 18 days old he has yet to pull the "surprise, I am really a night owl". So we will soak it up while we can. Grandma is having a great time. She is officially the pooh diaper changer. Here are some more sweet pictures of our boy! Thanks for all the great comments- we love you all and can't wait for you to meet Emmitt.

We swear Emmitt has been smiling at his g-ma, even though the books say it's impossible.

Grandma Connie is in town and really enjoys her latest grandson.

Emmit continues to be an amazing addition to our family. We have been working on sleeping, nursing, and our sense of humor. Emmitt is a fantastic nurser and is now over his birthweight at 8lbs 1.1 ounces. We are completely in love.
