We are proud of our new little champ. He insists on holding his own head up and proudly tries to stand (with help of course!) and recently he has attempted a tummy push off. We are starting early to train for the olympics. Actually, we are just really pumped because we went to the BYU vs. Arkansas gymnastics meet on Friday. It was cool enough to convince Nathan to start working up some of his old gymnastics skills...and maybe some new ones. Anyway, we are proud of Emerett's strength and his already present desire to try new things. Being a daddy is new to Nathan so he is always comparing our baby to others (mostly in secret) to see if little Emerett matches up, and he is convinced that Emerett has unusual strength for his age. True or not, it's fun to help him stand up and support himself with his increasingly chunky legs. He loves to kick and do little bicycles on his back. A recent morning he discovered how to push his body forward off of my hands with his feet, and apparently he wore himself out because slept the rest of the day.

Emerett loves when daddy comes home to play with him!
Right before his bath.
Daddy got peed on...big surprise...
Enjoying the morning sun rays through the bedroom window.
Emerett is learning to smile and coo when I tease him and sometimes he will talk to himself while he plays on his little mat.
There's that goofy smile!
