Emmett's First Month and kicking off the Holiday Season

Life has been full of firsts for our littlest monkey.

First bath was shocking, but now he LOVES them!

We spend our days relaxing, eating, exercising, and playing with Elias..

"Emmett, here's what they do when you go to the
doctor..."

He is growing like a weed and current stats are:

Weight = 11 lbs, 9 oz (91st percentile)

Height = 21.5 inches (56th percentile)

Head circumference = 39 cm (74th percentile)

Meanwhile, Elias has done a pretty good job adjusting to life with his new brother. The first couple of weeks were challenging, but now he's all "grown up" (i.e. almost potty trained, almost able to go to sleep on his own, and finally trying new food!). Elias enjoys his new school and comes home spelling, writing, and singing. He is almost able to write his name by himself.

We are now headed into Christmas--Mama's favorite time of the year. We kicked it off with some Christmas parties and a visit from Santa to our neighborhood playgroup.
