These genes run deep

June 14th, 2010 · No Comments

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.

Climber

June 9th, 2010 · 1 Comment

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 […]

Happy Birthday, Emmett!

June 1st, 2010 · 2 Comments

What a time we had. Emmett’s present to us yesterday was a nice, long nap that ended 25 minutes before his party started. We sang and ate and opened presents and tried to stay cool; in the end, a good time was had by all. I managed to snap a couple photos of the boy […]

Infuriating baby boy

May 25th, 2010 · 1 Comment

So two nights ago, ECP woke just as L and I were off to bed, fussing and rolling about with no signs of being tired. By now, the missus and I recognize the signs of an illness…or at least of discomfort, in the boy. Sure enough, the little fella had a low fever. So we […]

Emmett Charles update: 11 months

May 17th, 2010 · 2 Comments

Dear Emmett: I can’t believe that a year ago at this time, you were head down and bottom up in my belly–kicking and kicking and ready to go! Now, all these months later, you’re still ready go, everywhere you can! You started walking for real last Thursday, just a few weeks before your first birthday, […]

Daddy’s little helper

May 17th, 2010 · 5 Comments

I was putting in a new flower bed in the front yard yesterday and so had gardening implements all over the place. Emmett, who went from 0-60 in about 5 seconds last week in the walking dept., made a bee line right for my spade. Once there, he propped himself up on it and surveyed […]

For your consideration. Ava at her dance class dress rehearsal on Monday: And ECP giving me a smile on a walk we took yesterday while I was home with him: Crazy kids….

Bikin’

April 21st, 2010 · No Comments

This past Sunday, we all loaded up on our bikes and took a ride to a nearby park. It was Emmett’s first ride in the Burley, and Ava did a great job holding her little bro’s hand as they rolled along together.

That look

April 12th, 2010 · No Comments

Leah and I noticed lately that Emmett’s started making this…well, weird face sometimes. I don’t know if it’s because he’s not used to having teeth in his mouth, or what, but the expression is very much like one his big sis used to make when she was his age. Familial genetics, or a much, much […]

No no no

April 9th, 2010 · 2 Comments

Emmett’s latest trick is to shake his head. It is, of course, mostly just a new muscular experiment and not a reaction to anything we’re saying or doing. I think. Who knows what’s going on in that crafty little mind of his? But it sure is cute (natch; what else am I going to say, […]

More weekend cuteness

April 6th, 2010 · 3 Comments

At the risk of overexposing a single event from the weekend, I really liked this picture of Emmett coming down the slide at College Green Park (with mom’s loving assistance): The more I see of Em’s personality, the more I want to see. He’s such a good-natured little scamp, at least so far. I can’t […]

Moment of cuteness

April 5th, 2010 · No Comments

Had a really nice weekend, starting off with a dinner party for our friends Dawn and Ben. Then G.G. and Poom Poom rolled into town Saturday morning to do the Easter thing with us. The whole group took a walk to a nearby park yesterday afternoon, where we got some pictures I’m really fond of. […]

Nature boy

April 2nd, 2010 · No Comments

I came home the other day to find the fam sitting in the front yard, enjoying the unseasonably warm weather. I’m not going to go into how cute and funny and busy our little fella is. Instead, I’ll leave you with this image of little ECP, who in this picture is either 1) choking on […]

Boy, oh boy!

I found the dress in a secondhand store. It was brown, with sprigs of cheery flowers, in a size 2T, so I bought it on impulse and hung it in your closet, where it sat waiting for you. That’s how sure I was that you were going to be a girl. I could have confirmed […]

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.
