Little man

Emmett got his hair cut today by a very nice lady named Lacey at Tangles in town(Don't worry Jen G! You're still our fav!). He behaved very well and looks very handsome. Luke liked his long hair better, but now he is such a cute little man. and very blonde! Check out the comparision pics! These are a week apart.

FINALLY!

Finally, we got an offer on the house. We decided to take it no matter what. So, needless to say, we did not get what we wanted, but at least the nightmare is over....as long as the inspection goes well. and it works out that the buyers want to close the week I am home for E's b-day. That will be a great week! Everyone keep your fingers crossed that the inspection goes well....it should.

Walking everywhere!

Here is just a little bit of the new talent Emmett has learned. His PJs are a bit slippery....but he walks everywhere anyway. Pretty fun to watch. He kinda has a swagger and picks his feet up pretty high. Luke compared him to an ostrich.

Super Sunday

Luke and I spent SuperBowl Sunday in the comfort of our home. It was nice to sit around in comfy pants, play with Emmett and Luke, and eat nachos all in the same day! Luke dressed Emmett in his Chiefs gear for the "last time til Draft day". We tried out Alton Brown's wing recipe. It didn't seem to work so well for us, plus it took almost two hours! Oh well, the nachos were good. Emmett has decided that he likes to open a certain cabinet in our kitchen. So, I moved everything in the cabinet to a new spot and he got his own cabinet. I filled it with tupperware, beer coozies, and plastic spoons. He loves it. We don't yell at him to stop and he gets to pull things off a shelf. The perfect match. No voices raised and E plays for about 15mins by himself. He is now walking pretty long distances on his own...from the hallway to the kitchen. Then falls over in a dramatic exhausted slump and cries. not sure what that is about. He is such a joy. Can't believe he is almost a year old.

Always something new

Emmett sure is a funny kid! He is starting to imitate and chatter all the time. His new thing is spitting. Watch the video and see what I mean. We had dinner with Tammy, Mike and Caleb the other night. Mike made pizza here at our house. The kids played and had a good time. It was nice to spend some time with other adults as well.
