Today Emmett Joel is 8 weeks old, it is hard to believe we have a little two month old already. When people ask how old our son is I sometimes catch myself trying to respond "two weeks". Time flies! Emmett has been doing a little better with his allergies and is growing like a weed. He currently wears mostly 3 month old clothes with some exceptions because he is more lengthy than chunky. We are working on switching around his days and nights; it is a lot more work than I anticipated. It takes a lot of stimulation during the day to keep him awake. Which is also a challenge when he has the attention span of a goldfish. Emmett absolutely loves books and being read to. He has had some colic and digestion discomfort. This is particularly fun when he screams for hours on end in the middle of the night. Andrew and I have begun mastering the "taking turns" with baby at night.
Our biggest challenge this week was transitioning Emmett to a bottle temporarily during my surgery. It didn't go over well at first, but now transitioning back have proved to be just as difficult. Andrew said he feels like a mom and is exhausted. Poor Andrew.
Emmett had a great first Christmas and was absolutely spoiled. (Thank you!) We are so blessed to be surrounded by such loving friends and family.
Here are his professional pictures taken at 2 weeks:
Emmett has grown so much since then! Here are a few more recent pics:
Emmett is looking forward to meeting his friends and family this week in California!!!
