Houston, we have a walker!

Just before The Stowers Clan left following Emmett's baptism, our little monkey decided that evening to stand and walk. He has not stopped ever since.

Meanwhile Mommy was doing a little dancing of her own….

Cheers to Motus' 10 Years! 

Super Baby Turns One!

It's really hard to believe that our Super Baby has now turned one. This past year has been so enjoyable  to watch this little man grow. He is such a happy, silly, and laid back little boy. He always has a smile or wave for you. He loves to dance to music and pat your back when giving a big hug. Happy, happy birthday Super Baby. You are a super star in our hearts.

All Points Bulletin: Baby Monkey on the Loose!!!

Today was a VERY big day for our littlest Monkey. We started our morning bright and early to visit the Brilliant Hematologists for his first Comprehensive Clinic. Well since our little monkey is a chunky monkey and gaining all sorts of mobility skills quickly, we opted to give him a little more protection. Factor Up!

Even though he was screaming bloody murder during his 2 sticks, we got the good stuff in. When we got home, he then impressed his Mama with this new skill...

Yes America, we are crawling!

Here toothy, toothy...

Poor Emmett just doesn't get a break around here. First it was a cold, then ear infection #1, then croup, then ear infection #2, and now da da daaaaaa the eruption of a couple of incisors. Although we cannot get him to flash these emerging pearly whites, he has been chomping on everything!

veggie pizza: nom nom

Panera bread and summer salad: nom nom

He has also started clapping and being very proud of his accomplishments,

and pulling up/cruising.

 But not quite crawling forwards yet....

Soooo frustrated!

We will be there oh too soon!

Meanwhile in the barrel, dark Ninjas have been spotted. 

Onto the month of VIII

Happy 8th month Emmett! You are our sweet boy and always so happy for the exception of this past week. Unfortunately on your trip to SF a stowaway virus came back to bring you down....

Still not crawling, but look what Mama walked into this morning once your medicines started making you feel better. Looks like we need to drop the mattress of your crib down!

STATS: Weighing in at ~23 lbs. and wears 18 month clothes. Still no teeth. Loves to bounce and climb up. Loves peek-a-boo. Loves Page the Cat. Elmo is his homeboy, and his favorite song is ABCs.
