Finally got video of him rolling over!

Emerson rolled over for the first time just under 2 weeks ago...I got video of it a couple days later.
He hasn't been too interested in rolling over since then, but we are still trying. I just love this little guy!

New Favorite Site

I was just told about this site and I'm fascinated!! There are so many things that I want to try and bake. I'm going to do the Red Velvet Cake Balls with my girlfriend tomorrow and I can't wait! It's been way too long since I made something fun in the kitchen and I can't wait to have my hand covered in chocolate with those bad boys! YAY, I'm so excited!

Baby is growing up!

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!!!

Viking's Baby

These were all taken right at the end of football season, when the Vikings were very close to going to the SuperBowl. The little guy looks pretty good in purple...hehe






I got this hat and coat in Snowbird last fall and couldn't wait to get him in it! He wasn't too happy to be in it though...
