Emmett at 5 months! He is growing like a weed and has the cutest rolls! Just look at those wrists!
He is just starting to sit up, but still isn't rolling over. NOT EVEN ONCE! Dr. Brown told us at his 4 month appointment he needs to be rolling over by his six month appointment. Grudgingly, I am trying to encourage him, but he just doesn't want to! I'm kinda hoping sitting will be enough of a milestone Dr. Brown will turn the other cheek to the rolling over idea.
Layla was born exactly 5 months after Emmett. She is so pretty and I so wish I could be with Amy right now. It isn't fair they are so far away, I blame Derek :)
9/12/11 - Attempting peas. Not a total failure, but not a success either. Most of it just ended up down his chin.
I just love this picture! Emmett is so fascinated with his feet! I don't blame him, they are totally chunky goodness!
See what I mean about the rolls?!? Emmett has now decided that rice cereal isn't that great. Which is awesome since he isn't eating baby food well either. I think he'll be okay, he doesn't miss too many meals.
Wish I had a picture of the front. Yes, he blew out the front of his legs and a little by his tummy. I think he saved up for a week for this one moment!
We took a little camping trip with our friends Caleb, Joan, Brittney & Kira. Emmet was a champ! He slept awesome and we all had a wonderful time.
What's camping with out being king of the rock?
This is without a doubt the best way to eat a hot dog! Olivia ate hers cold since she was too afraid of getting it too close and burning it. I, however, have to have mine so it is just starting to blacken & the outside is crisp. Mmm! Can't wait to go camping again!

David decided to go on an install job for his unit in California. He was close to where his mom lives, so they were able to spend a day together.
With Dad away, Mom, Livie & Emmett get to play!!
Emmett is such a happy baby! Here he is at 4 months old. My time flies! He loves milk, naps & big sissy. Not interested in rolling over (to Mom's delight!)
We love going to the Zoo! It was Emmett's first time at the zoo. He loved all the animals, except the elephants. Everytime I tried to get his stroller up to them, he would start screaming & crying! Not a fan at all!
With Dad in California, I had to sneek a little Orange Dreamsicle lick! It was such a hot day (see the justification there)
Mmmm . . . I think he liked it!
It is exhausting checking out all the animals! Don't worry, I wasn't driving yet. She fell asleep before we could leave the parking lot!
Olivia started up dance again. This is her first day this year. She loves to dance & is becomming much more coordinated.
Such a ham! He really is a happy baby!

July 3 - Emmett's blessing day was wonderful! And hot! It is always amazing to hear Dave give our children blessings. I am grateful he is a strong, worthy priesthood holder! We had our luncheon at our home and we are so grateful for all of our family that came and supported us.

June 2011
Livie caught putting necklaces on Emmett. He doesn't like it already!
My munchkins. June 8
Emmett at 2 months old. He grows like a weed and is wearing an outfit from Aunt Amy.
Livie's fish face.
Lovin my little family!
On June 22 we were able to go to Hill Aerospace Museum with Amy, Allee & Pierce. We love every time they come visit us. I'm sure by the end of their stay, they are ready to head back home and have a vacation from us!
May 2011
May 14 was Livie's second dance revue. She did amazing this year. She has improved so much from last year. Plus she actually was excited to put make up on and let me put it on her! This is her funny face that everytime she sees herself in a picture pulling this face, she cracks up.
Livie "helped" fold laundry. We counted the socks as she took them off...16
May 29 Emmett had his first hair cut. Yes I cried. But I promised Dave that if his hair looked bad we would cut it (because I refused to cut Livie's.) So that's what we did. He held so still and didn't cry at all with those clippers!

I hate to admit it, but this time Dave was right.

Emmett's Surgery
On Sunday afternoon, May 1, I was at my Grandma's house and got ready to change Emmett's diaper. When I pulled back his diaper I saw a golf ball sized lump in his groin. We went to kid's care and of course the lump was gone. So the doctor scheduled an ultra sound for Monday. When Dave came home from drill, he gave Emmett a blessing and we went home. About nine that night, the lump appeared again. Only this time it was accompanied with screaming. So we called my mom to watch Livie and headed to the ER. They did an ultra sound, and there it was, an inguinal hernia. The ER doc referred us to PCMC. We got in on Tuesday and since it was deemed urgent not emergency, they sent us home and said they would schedule us, but would need a pre-authorization from the insurance. Uh, oh. Here was the problem. With Tricare, you have to first enroll in DEERS before you can enroll in Tricare. In order to enroll in DEERS, you need a birth certificate and SSN. Awesome. I didn't have either one yet. So after fighting all Tuesday and Wednesday, we were able to get our pre-authorization. Surgery was scheduled for May 6. All the while I was constantly having to push his little hernia back in each time it popped out. Poor kid was in so much pain he wasn't eating or sleeping.
This is my sick baby in the pre-op room
They have the tiniest hospital pants for him and they still drowned him.
Daddy with Emmett. Once we were through in the pre-op room, they took us to the OR waiting room. There were about 15 kids waiting to have surgery. My heart just broke seeing what those brave kids had to go through. Emmett was the youngest patient. The anesthesiologist took us through some doors then took Emmett and said he would be in good hands. David and I cried as we watched our baby being taken down a long hallway to the OR. The waiting room was terrible! Luckily I had to pump, so time went by so much faster. Finally our name was called! A nurse took me back to recovery and there he was looking right at me. The nurse said he was the perfect patient. He woke and didn't cry or need any oxygen.
Because it was so late, we had to stay overnight in the recovery room. All the staff was so amazing and took great care of our little peanut. They even gave him a cute blanket with stars and clouds.
Daddy was so glad to be holding Emmett again!

This is his little incision. He has healed so well and the scar is barely visible. We are so grateful for the amazing doctors and nurses that took care of us and made our little Emmett better!
