I can't believe it's already been a year since Emmett was born. In some ways it feels like a short time but others it feels like he's always been with us. He is such a sweet and happy boy. Easy going is the best way to describe him. He loves to cuddle and has a tight grip when he wraps his soft, squishy arms around my neck. Smiling comes easy and he's not picky with who he shares his smiles with.
He had his first walking attempt a week before his birthday and has been practicing non-stop since then. I think he is walking more than crawling at this point. He's still a big eater and getting bigger everyday. His weight and height testify to that. Emmett plays great on his own but really lights up when Lila and Calvin play with him. Also, he loves his daddy time. Both Chris and Emmett really enjoy their play time. I always hear them laughing and see them hugging when Chris comes home from work. He has eight teeth right now (one partially chipped due to playing with Calvin). His stats from his 12 month checkup are:
Height: 31.25 inches (92nd %)
Weight: 24 lb 3.2 oz (88th %)
Head: 47 cm (76th %)
We had a lot of fun celebrating his birthday in CA with Chris' side of the family. We spent the day at Fairy Tale Town and then went swimming. That evening we sang to him and watched him eat his own cake. We stopped him before he could eat it all because we're good parents like that. He opened some presents than said goodnight and went to bed. It was a great day. We love our Emmett and look forward to many great days with him!
Here's pics from his birthday:
(Our niece, Kiley, took some great photos of Emmett while he played in Sherwood forest.)
Happy Birthday Emmett, we love you!
