A little of this. A little of that

Wow the weeks go by fast and now only 5 more until we go to Calgary for Christmas. I'm really excited for everyone we know who hasn't met Emmett to finally meet him! And this will be his first Christmas. Good timing! Emmett is 3 1/2 months old and as of yesterday weighs 14 lbs 2 oz and is 23 and 1/4 inches long...nearly double his birth weight of 7.12 now.

He is really such a little blessing to us and no matter how sleep deprived it get or how housebound I am most of the time ; his funny little smile always makes it worth it to me! I wish I could catch on video half of the silly things he does. His giggles are slowly getting more frequent too... I think I would look like a total lunatic to anyone who saw what I will do to try and get him to giggle.

He has such a little personality.. for example if he is crying (still tearless) for a few min and then I pick him up, he lets out this indignant little sigh. He's also learned this really high pitched squeal when he's happy and loves to do that. His number 1 favorite activity is still trying to put both fists in his mouth. He sits in his green Bumbo lots now and I have to admit, it's a pretty good invention because it allows him to sit up even though he's not able to on his own yet.

Tyler found what looked like a tooth poking through his gums on the bottom but not in the place where his first teeth come. I was talking to one of my friends about this and she said that her son had hard white bumps on his gums that she was sure were teeth poking through but when she asked her pediatrician about it, he said they are calcium deposits called Bohn's nodules. If that's what it is and chances are it is, then it'll go away in a month or two.
