2 years have come and gone. Emmett has always been big and has only gotten bigger. Look at those thighs, he's just so cute and fluffy from head to toe. His ultra fair skin, super blonde hair and blue eyes, not to mention his ear to ear smile makes you want to just look at him. And I do! When I get the chance to hold him, I just gaze at his features and think how beautiful he is. He has a personality to match. He has this mischievous side to him but is mostly sweet. I enjoy his cuddles when they come but he is mostly a busy boy ready to have fun. He ends up doing most of the chasing rather than being chased, which is funny because he seems slow compared to the others, yet they always act scared when he runs after them. His favorite past-times are throwing things, picking up more things and throwing them. Mixed with a little of actually sitting and playing. He will still cuddle, but not as often. He's starting to talk more and more to where I can actually understand what he is saying. I'm not sure anyone outside the family can but who cares. Some of our favorite Emmett words are 'Bah' for mom, 'Chow' for Calvin. The other day I over heard Calvin trying to teach Emmett how to say Calvin. Emmett said 'Chow' and Calvin said no Emmett, it's Calvin. Say Calvin, and Emmett said 'Chowvin'. I think Calvin gave up after that. It's especially sweet to hear him talk when he says his prayers. He says thanks for each one of us and then says wuv you, name, Christ, Men. He's always very proud of himself after he does anything. He will run and then come tell me 'Bah, I fast', then speed away, laughing.
He's become more dramatic and will throw himself down on the ground and burry his face when he is upset. Or he will ask 'why' in a whiny voice. I'm not sure why I explain after he asks why because it only follows another whiny 'why'? Emmett is better able to play with Lila and Calvin and it's fun to see the 3 of them playing together especially when they are getting along. Emmett has also paid more attention to Graham. For awhile their Graham was just another obstacle to run around but now, He is someone Emmett asks about. Where's 'B'? Hi 'B'! Here 'B'. Emmett is a good helper when he wants to be. Sometimes it takes a lot of encouragement to get going but when he gets to working, he doesn't stop 'til the job is finished.
We love our Emmett and have enjoyed watching him grow these last 2 years. Can't wait to see what he'll do in the future.
Here's pics from his day:
