Life is going by so fast these days! Emerson keeps growing and keeps us on our toes all the time!
Just this week alone we moved him to 6 month clothes, he is grabbing at toys on purpose now, keeping his head up for long periods of time while on his stomach, he rolls over from his tummy to his back and he gave himself his first hickey!
6 month clothes on a 3.5 month old baby - yes, he's huge! As you can tell from the pictures he doesn't miss any feedings. He's about 16 pounds now, even though he wiggles and shakes all the time when we lay him down to play.
Grabbing toys - He loves his toys!! He has a monkey that hangs from his carseat and he "talks" to it all the time. He's always putting things into his mouth and now he's doing it on purpose. We're pretty sure he's in the beginning stages of teething now.
First Hickey - Since he puts everything in his mouth, the easiest thing he can always find is his hands. Fingers, fists and wrists... and now he's got a hickey on his wrist from sucking so much. We're trying to watch that more now so that it doesn't get worse...it was pretty surprising/funny to find that this week. David went right out and got him a bunch of sucking toys that he now loves and sucks on too.
Tummy Time - he loves time on his stomach and holds his head so well! He will play there and grab at things and when he gets a little frustrated he will move his bum around and with enough movement he will ROLL OVER. It shocked our sitter and us! And now we know he's just going to get even more mobile from here on out! I LOVE THIS LITTLE GUY!!!
