Back to Front

Mommy was very excited this week when Emmett learned to roll from his back to his tummy. He's been rolling the other way for a few months now, but this method of flipping is new, new new. E is also starting to show emerging crawling ("shimmying") skills.

Happy Half-Birthday Em!


Our "Mr. Man" is 6 months old today! The past month has been filled with lots of new developments. Emmett has grown physically stronger - he rolls, rolls, rolls and can now sit up on his own. He's eating solid foods - loves avocados, bananas, apples, and egg yolk - not fond of veggies yet. Emmett has grown increasingly chatty, though he's still in the "vowel stage" and hasn't experimented yet with consonant-vowel babble. Em continues to be Mr. Smileypants - his laughter really lights up a room. Our friends have teasingly asked whether or not we're feeding him giggle juice! Here are some photos from month 5.
