Emery has a photo shoot

We had some professional photos taken a few weeks ago of our little guy. He did pretty well although he wouldn't have any blankets or props on him!!!!! So as a result he is a naked baby with his diaper!!!

You have to love his hair sticking straight up!!!





He was about to fall over, he still doesn't tolerate being on his belly for too long!!!

New milestones

A few updates for Emery this week:

  • He rolled over for the first time last night (9/23/08), he had been trying for a few days. It was great because Jason & I both witnessed it.
  • He has been taking his binky out of his mouth and holding it.
  • He is starting to discover his feet and is trying to grab them.
  • He has been going to the chiropractor 2xweek for a few weeks now because he has torticollis, where he favors leaning his head to the right side. The right side is contracted and tight. It is usually caused in utero where the baby lays on the right side. The doctor said he is making great progress, we will go to physical therapy once the sessions are completed.
  • He is a great sleeper!!!! I am a lucky mommy, he sleeps 9-10 hours per night!!!!!!!
  • It is so amazing to watch all of the changes each week, sometimes on a daily basis.

He is starting to look like a little boy!!!

Fun Play Date

Emery had a play date this afternoon with his buddies, Cade & Carson at the park. Emery can't sit up on his own so mommy had to help him out!



They were all looking at something.....


Cade found Emery's toy & Carson decided to chew on a ziploc bag!


This is too cute, Emery was grabbing Cade's shirt


Then Carson found Emery's head (Emery kept falling over)

Rice cereal anyone?

So we decided to give Emery his first trial run of rice cereal this evening. If he could talk to us he would say, "what is this daddy"????

He doesn't seem to like it too much.......

And judging by his face I would say he hates it!!!!!!!


After the feeding was over, he decided to take a little nap!
