Day of Firsts

I woke up this morning at 7:00am to Emmett whimpering on the baby monitor. Then it hit me, not only did Emmett sleep though the night last night (he has before...) but so did I!! I don't think you understand. I think the last time I slept through the whole night was when I was maybe barely pregnant, and the nights of frequent trips to the bathroom hadn't begun yet. Then after that was over, the nights with a newborn began and I was up at least 2-3 times a night. Now that that's pretty much over, the nights of "Emmett hasn't woken up yet, I better go check on him" began. I think I turned over a new leaf last night. I must be feeling pretty comfortable with myself, and my baby. Aww...it feels good.

Also, after getting Emmett fed, changed, and settled on the floor to play he surprised me again and rolled over! Good thing, because I take him to the Dr. next week for his 4 month well-check and I didn't want to be the mother that the Dr. suspects doesn't give her child enough tummy time because he hasn't rolled over yet.

It's been a good day.



I think he's dreaming of karate, what do you think?

V-Day

Mike and I had our first date without Emmett this weekend for V-day. Grandma G. and Aunt Sharon watched him for us, and I think it was harder for mom than it was for baby. Mike decided to take me on a GPS guided date. We got in the car and I was in the drivers seat. I was supposed to follow exactly where the GPS took me. (Based on the address Mike entered in). We ended up at Texas Roadhouse, where we got take-out dinner, then onto Paradise Bakery where we picked up some cookies and brownies for dessert, then "Nikki" (our GPS) took me up to the top of Bountiful, close to the temple where we parked and watched the sunset from a great view while we ate dinner. Unfortunately, Texas Roadhouse didn't put ANY silverware or napkins in the bag. So we resorted to eating our mashed potatoes, chicken, and ribs with our fingers. We decided the salad was too messy and ate that at home. Too bad we didn't have a camera to remember that memory. It was a good one.

Pictures...Just Because.

Emmetts first grab at a toy. (I know I know...I'm pathetic for taking a picture).

"Yes mother? May I help you?"

I've been putting a bib on him now because he drools so much he shirt is soaked by the end of the day if I don't. Should I take this as a hint he's getting sick of me taking pictures of him?

This picture totally says "I'm a redneck". Drool down my shirt. Pants undone. Gut too big for pants. Lets hope his ambitions don't follow the pose his parents put him in.

"Aw shucks ma, why are you kissing me like that."

I knew my baby came from heaven. But this just proves it.

One Day Older and Wiser Too...

Wiser because Daddy likes to read him lots of books..



Older because he is getting so good at lifting his head...



I might've thought to put chubbier too...



And every day just keeps getting cuter...



And we fall in love with him more and more...



My baby is 3 months old!
