"Mommy do pencils come from Pennsylvania? Yeah or no??"

Mom here. Emmerson has a new, well more defined, habbit. He refuses to sleep more than three hours at a time and then wants to play all night. He isn't doing much sleepduring daylight hours either. We are at our wits end and can't explain why he won't sleep. Normally I could nurse him back to sleep if needed bit that doesn't even work anymore!! I am getting less than five hours of sleep a [...]

So this is how I crawl...  Let's Get Moving! (Click the blue text to see video!) Sorry it took Mommy so long to post this but things have been kind of crazy around here. I have given up sleeping so Mommy has very little go-juice left. Hopefully I will sleep soon!

No matted how hard Mommy tried she could not get my attention away from the...   WIRES! (Click on the blue word(s) for the video)

So at Dunedin Recreation Center tonight I made new friends. Mommy came over and I was sitting under the playground equipment with my hand gently rubbing the leg of my new 4.5 y/o friend and told mommy: "she's my new girlfriend!"

This was my tattoo experience during my quiet time. I did a great job all on my own! :) I have a dino-tummy! Daddy and I played "robot" the other day. I ran around the house for a while with a bucket on my head. I even spent 20 minutes trying to fit inside this small yellow bucket! :) Running through the dining room. Do I look like a future linebacker? Mommy says she hopes a swimmer [...]

With the nasty storms lately we hunkered down in the house. Okay, so the storms weren't nasty and we weren't ever really home. But we did have a good time scaling Mommy. She is in the pile someplace. Me giving Emmerson the evil eye. I think he was plotting evil. He keeps trying to take all of my toys!!!! At least we smiled for one good photo! :) Then more pinning Mommy to the floor. I felt threatened [...]

Against Mommy's wishes I am doing things I should be doing yet. A box of pull-ups from Breighton came in UPS the other day. I immediatly pulled up on the box and was standing. Then I discovered that I could push a little and move my feet and get all around the room. This box of diapers was my "walker" for over an hour. I play with it everyday now! Who knew a simple box [...]

So, if my Grandma Susie was here for this she would ahve crawled out of her skin. I was doing a great job eating and had a little mess on my face. Then Mommy dropped her guard and I grabbed the spoon( she was using to mix the food) right out of the bowl. It was a large spoon and it was FULL of lunch! So here I sit with my head hung in shame as [...]
