It's been too long...

I never got around to posting a 9 month update on Emerson and next week, he'll be 10 months! I guess I've been busy. Or at least, MY version of busy. I'm still working from home doing data entry and that is going well. I have Emerson go to his sitter 3 times a week and try to pump out as much work as possible in those three days. Also, the bakery is opening next month! That means I'm going to start working on the 16th... crazy! I am so excited and yet, so nervous! I am working on the product brochure in my spare time as well, and that needs to be done soon so we can get it to print. I'm not sure if I will, or can, juggle the two jobs. I'll talk to my data entry friend and see what she wants me to do, and then I'll go from there I guess.

As for Emerson, he's AWESOME! He's got A LOT of attitude lately and shows it by tightening up his body and yelling at the top of his lungs. This usually happens when he doesn't get his way. It's fun, fun, fun!! :) His 9 months stats were as follows: Head: 95th percentile (it's always been big!) Weight: 21lbs 6oz (70th percentile) Height: 30 1/4inches (95th percentile). He is a VERY mobile little baby and so his weight isn't as high, percentile-wise, as it's been in the past. He LOVES to climb up the steps and does it very well. He just needs to learn how to get back down...which, in teaching him this technique he becomes frustrated and just climbs up the steps again. I just love watching him grow and seeing him get curious about different things.

David is getting busier and busier at work, which we expected. He's still considering school in the Spring, which makes me very happy! He's so smart and school will really help him with his current, and future, jobs. It's going to be interesting to see how life will change when I'm working full time again, out of the house, and he's dealing with the crazy busy schedule he's about to embark on in the next months.

We recently bought a Dyson vacuum and it's THE BEST THING EVER! Ok, Emerson is pretty great, Ice Cream is also wonderful, David is fantastic, but I digress... I LOVE THE DYSON! It's sucks, it really SUCKS! Our house has never been so dog-hair free!! This was an investment we've been wanting to do for awhile and we finally broke down and got it on Sunday. I think David spent over an hour straight vacuuming that night, and then again last night for an hour. I did a little bit, but I'll let him have most of the fun... while he still considers it fun!

The sun is still shining! I'm soaking it up as much as possible! Yesterday Em and I went to Gardner Village and just walked around. It was so nice to feel the sun on us. I was thinking about hitting up the zoo today, but we might just go on a walk instead. I'm not feeling as adventurous as yesterday... I love fall and the colors and all... my house is decorated for it. BUT, I am a true SUMMER BABY. I truly enjoy the super hot days and sun burns. I'm not quite ready to give it up, and it seems that Mother Nature isn't going to make me, just yet.

I think that's a pretty good update, for now. I have pictures and other adventures I was going to blog about/post, but grocery shopping is calling my name.
