Four Wheeling
Emmitt had his first four wheeler ride on Saturday. We're pretty sure that he loved it! He was trying to hold on to the gear shifts when we were sitting there taking pictures. It was great! There are lots more rides in his future!

Our 6 month old!!
Emmitt has grown so much! At his 6 month check up he weighed 19 pounds 10 ounces and is in the 85% for weight. So in other words...he's breaking my back! He's so fun though. It's so nice that he's sitting up all by himself and that he enjoys sitting on the living room floor. He loves to play with his star stacking toy and his tool bench. They both make noise and play music and he loves it! He is a joy to be around!
A few weeks ago he started cutting his first bottom tooth and since then a second one has popped through. He's eating all kinds of baby food and loving most of it. For some reason bananas aren't tasting so good to him right now, or prunes. I can't blame him for the second one! Last Saturday he tried macaroni and cheese(baby food style) and loves it.
Another thing he enjoys is music! When anyone (me, daddy, Aunt Suzi) sings to him his whole face lights up and he starts waving his arms and kicking his legs. He really likes 5 little monkeys (jumping on the bed and swinging through the trees), 5 little ducks, I'm a little tea pot, and well pretty much anything I can think of to sing to him! He also LOVES it when Dave says the Boa Constrictor poem to him and tickles him. He starts smiling and eating his hand when Dave starts the first line...(Oh I'm being eaten by a boa constrictor).
Well, just thought I would write about some of the things he loves and share some new pictures.

More of the "E" man
We thought we'd add some more pictures of our little cutie (oh, and us)! These are from April and May.
"We are a happy Family."
Easter with the family!
Rice cereal for the first time. Fun Fun.
Sweet Potatoes are yummy! Why so concerned Mr. Emmitt?
What a cute couple.
No matter where he starts in the crib he always finds some way to wiggle his way into an awkward position.

Video - Let's see if we can get this to work!!!!
So, it's obviously been quite some time since the last post. Emmitt is getting so big. He will be 5 months in just one week. How is that even possible? He is such a blessing in our lives and we are so incredibly happy to have him around. He has a contagious laugh and smile. Hopefully this video will work and you can see them for yourself. We all (Dave, Emmitt, & I) went to Salt Lake yesterday and Dave got some pretty cute footage of Emmitt laughing while I was in Subway getting our dinner. Gotta love his giggle!!!!
That's all for now.....when I have the time I'll post some more pictures of our chunky little guy!

We're getting ready to leave the hospital and head to Idaho Falls to Grandma and Grandpa Batt's house for Christmas! |
January 10, 2011 He fell asleep on the bathroom counter after a diaper change. He's wearing the sleep sack Aunt Heather made him for Christmas! We love it! |
He hates being swaddled and I think its because he likes to sleep with his arms up, just like his Grandma Patti Gierke sleeps! |

He's a month old!
I can't believe he's a month old already. Here are some pictures from his blessing day December 26, 2010. It was so wonderful to be able to have most of our immediate family here. We blessed him at Dave's parents house and then had Chinese Sundays for dinner. It was a great day!
