Determination

Emerson shows such strong determination already! He has been sneaking that little thumb into his mouth! So I pulled out those old newborn mittens! And even with the mittens on and the pacifier in his mouth, he STILL tried to get that thumb in there! But guess what little guy - your momma is determined too! Hmmm... maybe that's where he gets it!

Look at his beautiful blue eyes! He is such a serious little guy but so sweet! Notice he's wearing his mittens!

FaceTime

Ricky was so excited he figured out how to FaceTime Mommy all by himself! It was bedtime and he was upstairs. I was reading in my room downstairs when I got the call! He was thrilled! I have to admit it was pretty fun! It's a far cry from playing telephone with two tin cans and a string!

14 Weeks Old

I love this age! Every day Emerson is learning something new! It's so fun seeing the world for the first time! And how lucky I am this is the fourth time I get to experience the wonders! Emerson is sitting for very brief periods before falling over. He is becoming interested in toys, and he is bringing them to his mouth. However, that's not the only thing he's putting in his mouth! The little stinker is starting to suck his thumb! And he's good at it! So I am constantly taking his thumb out and putting his pacifier in! He is showing interest in books and seems to really enjoy when I read to him! He is smiley, but a more serious and focused baby. He loves to be held especially by momma! We tried to take him out of the nap nanny at night because he is getting flat head. But he was projectile vomiting, coughing, and choking, so he's back in the nap nanny! Unfortunately, we haven't noticed much of a difference with this second medication they have us on. But we're hoping maybe with time it will improve. Emerson's eyes are still blue, but the jury is still out whether they will stay that way! Everett's were blue until he was 8 months old! Either way they are beautiful! And his lashes are so long you could braid them! Those cheeks are so chubby!! He is still in 0-3 month clothing, but should be moved up because of the length. We just have to pick through the things that still fit until we get up in the attic to switch them out! He is in size 2 diapers. We think he's going to be a talker like his brothers! He imitates the sounds and inflection of your voice when you talk to him. He also studies your mouth and moves his the same way! Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!
