Emmerson’s Journey

We went over to Nick and Spencer’s house for a post Christmas Party.

Breighton enjoyed stealing cookies.

He did get caught! What a stinker!

B got a neat bug farm and a Flippin’ Frogs game. I got a cool truck and a magnet toy food game.

So happy.

We had a lovely day!

We went to Dunedin Rec center and I showed off my mad climbing skills.

I scaled this mini rockwall in just a few seconds! Not bad for 11 months!

Mommy is nervous what I will climb next!

Okay, so I have been ubber cranky for the whole week. I am on antibiotics for an ear infection so Mom and Dad figured that was that. Today I woke up with TWO new teeth!

Yeah it is finally here.

Look at all that swag!

I got this really neat Diego ball pit. I think I spent most of my morning in it!

B got a neat bike. I bet I can ride it!

Planning on stealing all of Bs toys.

Here I go!

Uncle Bron and Aunt Jole got m this really neat Elmo toy. I carried it all over for the entire morning and still love playing with it. It makes me laugh!

Learning how to tear paper.

Hammer hammer hammer!

Three gifts later and I am still not letting go of my hammer!

Ohhhhhh neat! B got this cool Littlest Pet Shop toy. I SO want to play with it.

Oh, what else did he get?

I had a wonderful Christmas. I got a lot of very fun toys, games and clothing. I think I can really get into the gift thing. My birthday is in a few weeks so I bet there will be more gift opening.

Thanks to everyone for all the awesome toys! I am such a lucky boy to have such loving family.

We are celebrating Hanukah AND Christmas this year. Since Breighton is learning all about Hanukah in school we are having fun at home too.

B got a neat two headed dragon and I got this stinking BOW! But at least I was super cute!

Okay so we didn’t hit the mall for Santa photos. Daddy was dressed as Santa ((helping out the real Santa because he is SUPER busy this week) for a neighborhood party that NO ONE showed up to . So we turned it into a photo shoot.

I wasn’t quite sure what to think of this fuzzy red man.

Maybe I can warm up to him at some point. Maybe if he brings me gifts!

Santa baby!

Too bad there were no other kids there that day!

I can’t wait until Santa comes.

I got to go to Shabbat today for the Hanukah celebration. I had a wonderful time playing on the pews.

Grandma Susie and Great Grandma Barbara were behind me and I was enjoying laughing and playing peek-a-boo with them!

I have a VERY strange way of calming myself down when I get upset.

So standing on your head is pretty fun when I am mad.

At least it works and I become happy again.

Okay, Mommy & Daddy will get the blogs updated this week, they promise! I have had a little cold the last week and been on antibiotics so my tummy hasn’t been that happy. So here are a few quick highlights as of late with more to come and photos soon.

I am WALKING! I started with a few baby steps while we were in California visiting Uncle Matt. But now I am going all around the room. I have learned to turn but am not always effective and plop on my bottom often still. But at 11 months… walking! I walk best with things in my hands, go figure.

Today I got my FIRST TOOTH! 11 months and 3 days! Top front on the right side. Mommy has been convinced it was coming but Daddy said it was just hokey since big brother was 13 months old when he got his first. Low and behold… I HAVE A TOOTH! Yeah! Hopefully I can learn to nurse and not bite Mommy.

I also have perfected my FIRST WORD! I like to play with the telephone… a LOT! I picked it up the other day, held it to my head and said “eh-low”. Apparently I am Canadian, who knew!!! So my first official word is HELLO! I even showed off for Grandma Susie and Great Grandma Barbara yesterday with my new vocal talents! Maybe soon the words will come instead of the high pitched SQUEEEEEEEL! Maybe!

Foods are becoming my addiction. I have never liked it when people ate in front of me but now I am expressing it in volumes! Mommy finally gave in and is decreasing the jar food and i get finger foods now. I LOVE fruit (apples, pears and bananas), veggies (carrots and peas mostly), cheese, bread (I am a bread-a-saur!) and pretty much anything you stick in front of me. I am still a hoover! Although I have moved on (somewhat) from floor food to table foods! Mommy keeps the carpet vacuumed every day or so now to I don’t find lingering Breighton crumbs.

I have really been enjoying shaking all the Christmas gifts!
