These genes run deep

He got Leah’s good looks, but by God, he got my smarts!

Emmett likes to wear a trash can on his head and stumble around the house blind. (Cameo by the lovely AGP, too; what’s not to love?)

Please enjoy this video responsibly.

I was home with Emmett the other day when he decided to scale one of the dining room chairs and proceed on up to the tabletop. We may have mentioned that ECP is much more of an explorer than Ava ever was. It’s exhausting to try to keep up with him, but it’s also wonderful to watch him getting so involved in the world. Until he falls off the table….

There may be hope for Ava’s videographer career yet.

There has been a request to post this video here so it’s viewable by a wider audience. Let it never be said I’m not responsive to my public.

ECP’s first steps

Let’s face it: The kid owes me something for my having stayed home with him all this week while he gets over his feverish coughing sickness.

Late this afternoon (somewhere around 4:41 Central, but who’s counting?), Emmett pulled himself up on his chair at the dining room table and then proceeded to take three honest-to-goodness, unassisted steps into my waiting arms about two feet away. I tried to get him to do it again for the camera, but all he did was drop to his knees and crawl to the camera.

I did get some video of Emmett standing on his own tonight at Ava’s school concert. I hope that it offers some proof of my seemingly outlandish claim above.
