Swimming for the first time. Emmitt was a little overwhelmed.
LOVE THIS GUY!
Sunning himself. Just kidding, we just put him there for a second. He looked so cute!
Attacking grandpa Bob. I think grandpa is tired!
tired from playing with his cousins...or watching them scream
Emmitt was really responsive to Sara. He would give her a big smile when she looked at him.

Emmitt wants to be everywhere he should not be. Kevin says I am a sucker and usually give in.
Emmitt is now 5 1/2 months old. He is growing at an astonishing rate. I am sure this is what everyone was talking about when they said it would fly by. I am amazed at his development and skills. It seems he has a new sound or is able to perform new tasks everyday. It is great fun to watch. Emmitt continues to be a very chill guy during the day- full of smiles and laughs- and continues to wake up at night every 1 1/2 -2 hours. We are tired, very very tired, but feel blessed to have such a relaxed and happy baby. I keep telling myself (Cathy no comments on this one) that he will sleep one day. I just know it. We have to have hope or else it is just insanity. Emmitt and I took a real quick trip to Colorado this past week. We stayed at Sara and Jimi's new house and made it to the cabin for part of a day. It kind of felt like a whirlwind trip but I guess all our lives are a bit more complicated these days. Not as easy to just pack up and hit the road. Anyways, we had a great time with the family. Killian and Holden were more interested in Emmitt this time. I think Emmitt was amazed and entertained by them as well as being scared of their 1 1/2 year old temper tantrums. Holden liked to give Emmitt a kiss and then turn around and hit him or take away his toys. Killian watched Emmitt from a distance and then would give him his favorite toys to play with. It was SO sweet. We can't wait to eventually move back so the cousins can know each other better and so Kevin and I can be closer to family and support. Hope everyone is enjoying the sun. We finally are showing signs of summer here in Seattle.
Turning into a chub a lub. Must be all that late night snacking he does.
sleep training. He is not supposed to sleep here, but in his crib, without rocking or a bottle. Of course he woke up as soon as I tried to remove him from the Bjorn.
Emmitt has beautiful eyes
