Or maybe it just looks like that many. Could be. It’d be difficult to count. Instead, I think I’ll just enjoy the view:

I was uploading the pictures from our recent vacation last night and noticed there were precious few of Emmett in the mix. At only two months old, he wasn’t going on any hikes or skipping rocks or drinking hot chocolate down at the harbor…nothing, really, except sitting in the shade of his car seat [...]

Emmett, your mom is awfully worried lately about your gassy tummy. It’s true that you spend a fair amount of time these days fussing about when you’re not eating or sleeping. I’m not convinced it’s gas. Which isn’t to say you don’t have gas. Oh, you do, little brudder. You [...]

Leah, Em, and I had a nice moment on the porch yesterday, during which he smiled at me — on demand — no fewer than three times in succession. The importance of this event was that Leah was sitting directly across from Em and me, so she witnessed the whole thing. She dismissed [...]
