Our Little Squishy...

Emmett is such a squishy little monkey. Here's some fabulous photos from our friend at Dreamy Newborn Photography when he was 1 week old.

"Why, to the North Pole of course..."

Where did we go last night? Well, to the North Pole of course. That is where the Polar express goes.

We got cookies and hot chocolate

And then arrived at the North Pole

We met Santa and of course Elias asked for a transformer...

Emmett's First Month and kicking off the Holiday Season

Life has been full of firsts for our littlest monkey.

First family bedtime story

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.

A few weeks before Super Baby was born, Mama's friend captured our family in preparation for our newest monkey. Here are a few of our favorite moments:
