Happy Fourth Month Emmett!
This little monkey has been really moving right along. Yesterday he successfully rolled from his back to his belly and then to his back again! Check out those abs! They are a lot stronger than they appear...
He really LOVES the water, both in the bath and when he went swimming for the first time.
He is now liking tummy time more. (We think it slows down his perspective...more exciting things happen at higher levels like his brother's craziness.)
He is fascinated with his reflection. Okay Narcissus...don't fall into the water. But really, how can you not just love looking at this handsome young man in the mirror?
All this activity signaled another era we are now entering: The Black and Blue Years.
This time in a hemophiliac's life is expected and is known to last a lifetime. We are not sure where one's bruises originate 95% of the time as they are a mystery. But we do know they are a sign of a active young man. Check out Emmett's first good little hematomas....
He also successfully got his first little goose egg on the back of his head. All minor incidences in a world of bleeding. Hopefully this guy is as tough as his big brother, which we most definitely think he is. We are just thankful that we live in an era of safe, effective medicine so that our monkeys can lead a near-normal life!
Emmett is a pretty good sleeper, that is at night. Apparently he is king of the cat-naps at school and then is so tired by the time he gets home that he is very fussy then sleeps from 8:30-2:30, 3-5, then up at 7. Why would you sleep when life is this exciting?!?!?
