It's not hat day!!

Emmett and I out at Airforce base watching the snowbirds. They practice in the comox valley every year for 3 weeks before they tour the airshow. They weren't too loud but there was also an F18 Sabre too and that one was crazy loud..i covered Emmetts ears . Anyways, lots of fun..can't wait to take him next year.

This past month has been full of firsts. On April 14th Emmett finally moved from just saying vowel to saying consonants (dadadada) then on the 25th we were at a friend of mine and suddenly he decided to start crawling! Now it is May 10th and he is crawling everywhere. He can go from crawling to sitting easily and is even starting to pull on on things. Time to start child proofing everything.

On the same weekend, Auntie Corey came out for a visit and got to spend some time with Emmett. Always the little charmer I think they both had a good visit.

He was also hating vegetables and meat for the longest time and just the last couple of days, he has decided that it might not be so bad after all. Thank God! I was beginning to wonder if he'd ever like anything other than fruit oatmeal and cheerios. .....but make no mistake, cheerios are still his favorite.

Today May 10th we had our first Mothers Day together. Tyler made me a pancake breakfast and bought me some flowers and Emmett "drew" on his own card for me. Then we went for a day trip to Denman Island a short 5 min ferry ride from here. Was really nice to get out and see some new scenery. I think I really like this Mommy thing despite the small hiccups along the way....looking forward to lots of fun Mothers days to come.

May 10th 2009

Emmett weighs 20 lb 10 oz

length is 28.5 inches

head 18.5 inches

and is now 9 months old yesterday

On Tuesday we have his first check up at the doctors office. Really I have nothing much to ask about other than the crazy drool rash under his chin and a few stubborn eczema patches. Still no teeth though..not even a hint. Just periodic drooling and fist gnawing.

We are working on the crib thing in a different way. I was reading a book on sleep problems and one of the suggestions to get him used to his crib was to take off the top rail, lower the mattress and push it right up against our bed. We have been doing this for over a week now and for the most part it's been working fairly well. Once we get him used to that then the rail will go back on and hopefully that ordeal will be done. Cross my fingers.
