Emmerson's Journey

This has been a week of being dragged around to playground after playground for Breighton to burn off that crazy toddler energy that he has.

This is Ethan’s little brother, Lucas, chilling with me while the big kids were off playing a violent game of “pirate”!

I wish I could hang out with Lucas more when we both get bigger but he is moving soon! I will miss him!

Again, me chilling while Breighton was off playing on the playground.

Breighton checking in on me and stopping for a sippy cup break.

Look how well I am chunking up! Chubby chubby baby!

Tonight, at the playground AGAIN, I met Breighton’s new friend Sammy. She really thought I was the bee’s knees.

Just a few random shots of me in the past week.

Chilling out on Breighton’s Curious George Blanket!

My SECOND Home Owners Association Meeting. I am full of civic pride!

Snuggled with Mommy was the only way to sleep the other day… I was grumpy but fell right asleep once I tucked up with Mommy.

Watching Breighton being goofy.

Thanks for all of the well wishes on my bowel movements. In case you didn’t know I haven’t had a poopie since last Saturday!!!! Lots of suggestions and support helped as I worked through this difficult part of my life. Kinda scary to think that a digestive system is just that effective. Also good to know that breast-fed babies may only go once every 10 days or so! Well, today marked 7 days for me. Almost to the minute of 7 days I tucked my legs up and exploded! Mommy said she did NOT like that diaper and just gave me a bath instead. Daddy ran for the hills claiming he was “busy!” He did poke his head in the bathroom long enough to gasp and runnnnnnn!

I feel SOOOOOOO much better! Probably at least 1.5 lbs lighter… but happy!

My eyes are open more now during the day. My personality is starting to shine through… and boy am I grumpy!!! I always look so serious and angry. Mommy said I smile when I am curled up with her napping.

I like to hold onto things now. I inherited Breighton’s telephone rattle.

I still like to fall asleep on Mommy. I actually sleep so much better when touching her.

But when she keeps snapping pictures and moving around I get mad and stare her down.

In other news… for THREE nights now I have slept in my bassinet ON MY BACK! Mommy took me off the reflux meds and I am actually doing rather well. Other than when I play major piggy and want to nurse every 45 minutes and then spit up what didn’t fit! Mommy & Daddy are very happy that I am doing MUCH better with the reflux. YEAH!

Man, being little is like so uncool. Sunday, I fell asleep in my car carrier while out running errands. I get taken into the Ace Hardware in Dunedin. Mommy and Daddy have to buy seeds for Breighton’s RootVue farm. So, they buy them (see the little white plastic bag?) and then buy some Girl Scout cookies from the troop outside of Ace. Well, lacking anyplace to put them (since they left the cart in the store), they piled the cookies at my feet. How uncool! Like, I don’t even get them, but have to be disturbed by them??? Mean Mommy and Daddy!
