6 Months

We made it!  When we were sitting in the NICU holding Emmett, I looked at 

Jordan and said "I can't wait until he is 6 months old, healthy

and over all of this".  The day has come!  Emmett is amazing!  He

is doing fantastic and hitting appropriate milestones left and right.  His

reflux has actually started to slow down and he can wear the same

outfit all day long :)  He has found his toes and loves to suck on

them every chance he gets.  He wants to be apart of the action and 

gets upset when we walk away from him.  He is starting to sit up

on his own, using his hands to hold himself up.  He likes to 

"march" in the jumperoo and put every thing in his mouth!

He is very ticklish and gives everyone a giant smile when 

they greet him!  We love you Emmett Jordan!

First time sitting up on his own! (1/13/12)

Emmett LOVES his Owen

Owen's 3rd Pirate Party

Owen's birthday had to be moved a week later because we all came

down with colds, ear infections and fevers :(  Thankfully most

of our friends and family could come a week later!  We had the party at 

Children's Play Gallery in Delafield.  It has a huge pirate ship to play on!

Owen had SO much fun with his friends.  I made a treasure chest cake

that turned out to be really cool! Happy Birthday Owen!

Owen's birthday fell on a Monday and Daddy didn't have to work,

which made it a very special day!  Since we were gone all weekend

at Grandpa and Grandma's we decided to stay home and hang out. Owen went

sledding, had hot chocolate with a million marshmallows, roasted

hot dogs in the fire place and he got to shave with his new 'razor set'.

What can I say about our little man?  He is amazing.  I know, as his mom

I am of course going to say that, but he really is amazing.  I get comments

from strangers all the time about how well he speaks and how polite 

he is. Throughout the day he randomly tells Jordan and I that 

he loves us.  He loves Emmett and cannot wait until he can run

around and play with him.  He still loves trains, but his new interests

are pirates (from watching Jake and the Neverland Pirates) and construction

trucks, especially "excabators".  He asks me at least once a day when 

he gets to go to school.  He makes sure we say our prayer before dinner.

He can read certain books word for word (wish I had that memory!).  

He likes to paint, color and cut with scissors.  He is incredibly social

and LOVES to play with his friends.

Happy Birthday, Owie-o!

Time for shaving, after all he is 3!
