Emmett is starting to really try to say things like daddy, mommy, bottle, ball, cat. He definitely knows what those things are, it's just a matter of time until he can say them a little better!
Today, he pulled himself up to stand for the first time! Then he didn't quite know what to do from there!
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.
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!

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!
