taking care of others

Giving Teddy a binky

Emmett has been learning the fun of caring for his stuffed animals and baby doll boy. Giving food, taking temperatures and shots, using nasal aspirators, giving ba ba's (sippy cups), checking heart beats, and binky's (or as Emmett says, "geekies") are all now part of playing. He enjoys this reversal role very much. The practice with the baby boy doll has been especially great to see. He's not perfect with the doll, but he shows a very sweet side when he pushes the baby in the swing, or feeds him a ba ba. I've seen him kiss the baby a few times too which melted my heart. Emmett is a very stubborn and independent little boy, but he does have a big heart which makes me very happy. I can't wait to see him meet his baby brother for the first time. By the way, if you happen to put on an extra few pounds this winter and it goes to your belly, Emmett might question you for carrying a baby! He knows that I have a baby in my belly and he's been pointing out baby's on other people's bellies now!!

they call me rockstar siegel

i think the warmer days are over...

so long shorts and t-shirts! I was kind of sad to put away all of e's cute summer clothes. I'll miss him in his cute little shorts and sandals. Those recent random nice warm days sure were nice. They always are.

no fear

it seems like emmett is one of those kids that doesn't fear too much. i can see some hesitation at times when he's trying a risky maneuver, but he always takes the risk. he continues to impress me with his strength and energy. he's running down hills and climbing up on basically anything. at this point, i think we have a real athlete on our hands. we'll see what he ends up being interested in. he definitely is a music lover like his mom and dad too.

we've been here A LOT lately

we have been going to e's doctor every other week for the last couple of months! between viruses, colds and ear infections, this little boy has been going through a lot lately. we are waiting for him to completely get healthy again. hopefully in the near future he'll have a health break through.

Cousins friendships are the best!
