Emmett 7 months

As always I do a month by month of my baby! Mr Emmett.. I am a bit late. SO as it is close to be. ing almost time for his 8 months I should probably post his 7 month.
Well he is crawling EVERYWHERE.. he kinda has a funny crawl. He was doing the army crawl for a bit but now has crawling down. However he kinda does a mix between the bear crawl and traditional crawl. Its cute. I think its becuase it makes it a faster process to crawl then sit right down. He loves being able to be free in the bath now that he sits by himself. versus being in the baby tub. Him and Truman have fun.
He definitely is a lot faster than Truman EVER was it is seriously crazy to me. I think maybe its cause he sees Truman and wants to be there right with him so he picks it up faster? Who knows.
Well he is still tall and lean as ever, and has such a goofy smile and personality.

TRUMAN IS 2!!

I cant even begin to explain how crazy life is with this hilarious, fun, spitfire child of mine. It is a hit and miss day everyday with him. We sort of have a love/hate relationship at times. Surely we end each day with love but wowzers he tests my patience. I feel like some days he has been in " time-out" a bit too much for his own good. Its a constant, no dont touch,stay out of the street, dont pinch, be nice, be soft etc. Every morning I wake up thinking ok what shall we do today to keep you busy. I dont like to turn on the tube even though that occupies his busy body pretty dang well so I use it as a last result. On the flip side he is a lot of FUN and keeps me busy. If only it made me super duper fit. ( aint nobody got time for that ) I have learned to sacrifice a lot to try and get back in shape. I love when Tyler gets home at night and we play as a little family. However to make myself feel better I go out at a couple nights a week to get some me time and beautify my body :) "work out"
I took Truman's 2 year old pictures just the simple ones. The same spot where I took his monthly shots until he was a year. I decided I will do it each year after that. Therefore I am NEVER getting rid of my Orange chair haha. Here are some. I now laugh thinking Yes little 2 year old please sit still and smile for the camera. ( AAHHAA YA RIGHT MOM ).. but i got 1!!!

HAPPY SMILE

At 1 year and at 2 years

He does this face when you ask him to do "the look" its quite funny. He will do it to random people anywhere, just cause he knows he will get a reaction, he likes to make them laugh. So when they dont laugh and say umm? or look at us weird  I have to explain hes not giving you a dirty look hes doing it to be funny haha!

Hey smile for the camera please. so he just did his thing.. 

We had a little party this was the invite!

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!
