6 MONTHS

So Mr EMMETT is 6 months. Yet thinks hes 8. Ok not really. However, everything has been happening so much earlier than it did for Truman. He is officially scooting and one determined boy. When he sees something he wants he goes for it. Lots of face plants. Its quite funny to watch. Before we know it he will be crawling like its no bodies business. YIKES! I am already non stop with older brother. So if you ever come to visit please do not look at the mess. Emmett has also found his two fingers. His pinkey and ring finger are the preference. It is was he uses to fall asleep, and self sooth, or just to suck. He will take a binkey for a second then spit it out. I dont know why those two fingers are his preference vs a thumb or something, its pretty funny
Emmett is a tall and lean boy that is for sure. He eats every 4 hours and sleeps 8:30 pm- about 8:00am! It took us a while to get there but we did it, now things are a bit more stable.
STATS:
Height: 27 in ( 71 % )
Weight: 17 lbs ( 40 % )

Those two fingers

I like to see the difference between my two boys as Emmett grows, and how much they look alike. Here is Truman and Emmett at 6 months!

Truman on Left Emmett on Right

LOCKED OUT.... by my two year old

In our rental home the two extra bedrooms which are the boys rooms. The locks are switched around, basically so you can lock a person in their room.
I was on the phone with the paint company and needed to be able to hear well. Therefore I went into the closest room. Trumans. He naturally was crying thinking I had left or something and was playing the door knob trying to get in. Which in the task of doing so. HE LOCKED ME IN HIS ROOM.. I kind of panicked. My baby was out there crying alone with my two year old.
SO I called everyone I knew who lived close and NO ONE answered of course.
So I knocked out the screen and jumped out the window. I just want to add that it may seem like my house is on a main floor, ITS Not. its basically the 2nd floor. or can I say 1 1/2 .. beneath my jump was the window well of the basement so I also had to jump out far enough so I wouldnt fall in that. YAY!..
It was a long jump and I may or may not have torn my pect muscles, how embarrassing. It took a good two to three weeks to heal those. So my back over compensated for it and started hurting. All while trying to move and pack my house. Anyways, I got out and go my spare key and got in. The house wasnt too bad just a toothbrush and toilet paper roll in the toilet.
HE SHOWED ME?!

5 Months!

Emmett is busy. He is a lot more mobile than his brother was for sure. He is ahead of him by almost a month on everything which makes me nervous about him being an early walker. There are pros and cons to this. Truman loves to play with him on the ground for .5 seconds and is loving that Emmett is more aware and laughs at him. Soon they can wrestle and play together. In the mean time Emmett definitely holds his own when Truman sits on him or gives him hugs and his head is so heavy he can barely breathe. Its kind of funny to watch because Emmett doesnt really do anything no reaction. 

Emmett is Rolling rolling rolling everywhere. We will put him down in another room close by and next thing we know he is half in one room half in the other. Its fun! He is a happy baby and sleeping through the night like a champ. ( can i get a ya hoo! ) He smiles and coos at anyone who gives him attention. Id say the first 6 months is definitely the time it takes me to really get the swing of things with new baby. 

Happy 5 Months Emmett!

   

4 months

Our little guy is not so little anymore. According to the doctor he is tall and lean. Emmett rolled over officially on mothers day. He had rolled over before but then didnt do it again so I didnt count it, but on Mothers Day he kept doing it YAY! From back to belly that is. Then today he rolled from belly to back as well. He loves to see whats going on. His heart mur mur is gone which was music to my ears when the doctor told us. Yay Little Emmett is growing! We are going to start him on cereal in the next little while, ill try my best to remember to write about that experience.. We are loving having two kids its definitely keeping us on our toes. I am excited for more to come, but not anytime too soon..
Emmett's 4 month Stats:

 Mr Truman Photo-bomb 

Jambalaya

Ok I feel like all I am posting about is FOOD! I do love to eat. I swear breastfeeding I am even more hungry than when I am pregnant. HA
I Told Tyler last weekend I wanted to make him Jambalaya. His response was NO i hate Jambalaya.
Me- you've never even had it.
Tyler- I know but I dont like it..
Me- what do you think it is.
Tyler- isnt it that stuff they make in Louisiana its almost like a soup thing with shrimp?
Me- umm no thats probably Gumbo that your thinking about.
Tyler- ya your probably right.
Me- Yes Tyler of course I am right ( i am always right ;)  )  jk

A girl that lives by me was telling me how she was going to make Jambalaya, but was waiting until her husband got home to help with the baby since its kind of a process. A process? I thought it just intelled a box of rice that says jambalaya and you add either chicken or sausage?. She was making it solely from scratch. ( you go girl ) I am sure itll be better though.
Anyways so here is what I am doing.
One box of this

Then I am adding some Chicken cut up!

The Mr says there should be a meet at every meal. Otherwise he feels like he doesn't get all that full? Whatever, if I am the one cooking sometimes there is meet and sometimes there isnt haha

Dinner is served most the time around these parts. If I dont make something the Mr will make mac n cheese or grilled cheese or? He can bbq too. But if i want a nice balanced meal I usually do it. I am glad that he understands me though if dinner is served its a big deal for me. HAHA Kids are a little bit demanding. However also if dinner is served, I dont do dishes. I HATE DISHES. Also that means that the house is probably upside down from my ever so spunky and curious toddler who roams while I cook. YAY!!

PS. Weight watcher doers 

1 cup prepared of the rice is 5 points

and 1/2 cup chicken cut up is 3points

MEAL= 7 points

throw in some veggies ( which are free ) good to go
