11 Months

Our boy turns one next month. What the heck!!! He's growing up way too fast and I'm not quite sure how to stop it. Emmett took his first official step(s) this month! He's getting more and more confident with his balance everyday. He is still the pickiest eater {he gets that from his dada} and will spit out any new food I try to feed him. You are missing out little buddy! He does love sneaking dog food whenever he gets the chance though. Yuck. Emmett figured out how to open cabinets/drawers and thinks pulling everything out of them is the funnest thing ever. He has a knack of getting into all of the things he shouldn't. He points at pictures of his mama and dada and gets the biggest grin when he watches videos of himself. When a song or beat comes on that Emmett likes, he'll start to bounce and dance. IT'S THE CUTEST THING EVER. He is becoming more of a mama's boy everyday. He loves to snuggle in bed every morning and burrows his head in my lap or chest when he's tired. He's great at taking bottles and formula, but is having a hard time switching to a sippy cup or drinking anything other than milk. He gets scared of loud sneezes, big yawns, and when the dogs bark at the doorbell. When something scares him he either cries or crawls as fast as he can in the opposite direction. And boy can he speed crawl! Emmett learned how to slide himself off of some furniture and can go down a couple of stairs backwards. His favorite thing to say is 'abah' and I'm hoping to someday know what that means ;) Our little conversations together are my favorite thing. Oh Emmett James - our happy, slobbery, picky, curious, squirmy, funny, smiley, cuddly, pretty eyed boy - we love you so much.
