10 Months Old!!!

I can't believe Emerson is already in the double digits!  Just two more months until he will be 1!!  It seems like just yesterday I was going to the hospital getting ready to have him.  It's crazy how fast time flies, especially when you're having fun.  Emerson has been so much fun lately.  Even though he's turning into a little terror, he is so much fun and definitely keeps Jordan and I on our toes.  He learned to crawl about a month ago and ever since, he has been all over the place.  He recently figured out how to open up the cupboards in the kitchen so he likes to get into those which doesn't make me very happy.  His favorite cupboard to get into is the one that has all my pyrex glass dishes so I think it's about that time to get some child locks for the cupboards.  He also has recently learned to pull himself and likes to get up and pull the magnets off the fridge.  One of his favorite spots in the kitchen though is the back door.  He loves being able to sit up and look out the window.

He loves pulling himself up on his walker

Emerson now has 8 teeth!! They came in pretty quick.  After those first two on the bottom popped through, they all just started popping through really fast.  He can now eat pretty much anything since he has the teeth to chew and he really does like to eat just about anything we give him.  We gave him a pickle once and he took a huge chunk out of it.  He's definitely my son if he loves pickles haha.  His favorite food right now is still probably squash.  Whenever I feed him squash for dinner, he just scarfs it down.  I'm trying to get him to start drinking out of sippy cups now that he has teeth because he just likes to chew on the bottle and play with it rather than drink out of it.  Silly kid.

His favorite room in the house right now is definitely the bathroom.  I always have to keep the door closed because he knows exactly where to go and makes a beeline for the bathroom and tries to get into everything.  He loves the bath so much so I think that's why he really likes to go to the bathroom because he knows the bath is in there.  He gets SUPER excited when he hears the bath filling up.  He crawls over to the bathroom really fast and starts squealing.  He would probably spend all day in the bath if he could.

For Father's Day this year, Emerson I put together a little photoshoot for Jordan.  It was Jordan's first official Father's Day so it was fun being able to surprise him and do something other than just buying him a tie haha.  He already has plenty of those!

This is what we framed for Jordan for his Father's Day present.  It looks so cute in the frame and all set up on our dresser.

Wearing daddy's favorite hat

It was actually a lot harder than it looks to hold him up like this haha he's so heavy!

Happy Father's Day daddy!!!

Doctor Update:

At Emerson's last doctors appointment, his head was measuring very well.  We were originally told that he would probably need the helmet for about 6 months but at our last appointment, the doctor said since he was measuring so well, he'd probably only need it for a couple more months!  He has another appointment on Monday so fingers crossed that his numbers are good and that he won't have to have the helmet for much longer because the summer with that helmet is not fun haha.

Random Emerson facts:

-Weighs about 21 pounds!

-Wears 12-18 month clothes

-Size 4 diapers

-Ready for a front facing car seat but is unfortunately still too young :(

-Loves being able to move around freely

-We had to lower the crib a couple weeks ago since he can now pull himself up to standing

-Loves to pull himself up to the couch and grab the remote controls

-Finds a lot of joy in imitating the things Jordan and I say or do

-Says's momma and dada (will only say dada in a whisper though)

-Momma was officially his first word :)

He really enjoyed sitting in that laundry basket

Emerson's first splash pad experience.  He was not a fan haha.

He really likes Disney movies.  Definitely my kid!

What a little sneak

We took Emerson to the flight museum here in town.  He really liked sitting in that old jeep.

Emerson's pals, Karson and Mason.  He absolutely loves playing with Karson.  He gets the biggest smile on his face and loves to chase him around.  So happy that he has a friend he can play with while we're here in Rexburg.

Emerson loves to play with Karson

This last month has sure been a fun one full of little surprises.  Emerson is learning so much and is definitely soaking it all in.  He has his own little quirks that I absolutely love.  He's in that phase where he doesn't like to sit through church so I don't really get much out of the lessons these days but it's good that he's understanding that church is where we go every Sunday.  I'm excited to see what new and fun things Emerson has in store for us this coming month.  Maybe next month I'll be able to report on him walking!!
