To the pool with Mom

Yesterday afternoon, after work, I promised Aria I would take her to the pool. Kevin has been spending a lot of time with Emmett in the afternoons lately (and all day too). So, I thought I would put on my multi-tasking mom hat and take both kids to the "little kid" pool. (Aria didn't like me calling it a baby pool.) We had a blast! Since Aria's had her lessons she's more confident in the water. She is great with holding her breath and spitting the water out when it gets in her mouth. (This was not true a few months ago.) She even grabbed the noodle and started floating on her back! I was always right there by the edge with an eye on her, but over all I felt pretty safe about the whole thing. Emmett enjoyed himself too. He took a little dip and splashed around. He even picked up some ladies...haha. There were two 3yrs old girls that came up and started talking to him and showing him their watering can/squirt fish.

Memorial Weekend

Happy Emmett
Really happy Emmett - he loves being tossed in the air!
Aria enjoyed playing in the hammock, but Emmett wasn't so sure about it.
I just want to nibble those cheeks!

Slip and Slide

A while ago a neighbor set up a slip and slide in their yard. Aria loved it...



Emmett's quick scoot



We've seen him get up on his knees for a second, but he falls down to his belly and continues his scoot. I'd say he's getting pretty good at it though! He's definitely got some speed.

OBX pics

We had a lot of fun down in Duck, NC - here are some pics from the week:

Emmett's favorite pastime — sticking his fingers in my mouth


"This is an excellent vintage of milk."


This cloud showed up immediately after a storm on Saturday. Pretty cool looking.

Still collecting sticks after all these years!

A day of milestones...

Today Emmett had a busy day. He started waving, clapping, he imitated da-da and ma-ma, and army crawled/scooted! We've been working with him on those things, but he just hasn't been to interested until today. He's 10 mo in 4 days. Good job, buddy!


I tried to catch some of it on video...
