Love You, Daddy!

Phil was able to come home this weekend and spend some time with us and it was wonderful! He's such a totally awesome dad and husband... Jackson and I love him so much and he is such a great help to me! It is so hard to have him gone but it sure makes us appreciate the time we do get to spend together. I love you, Phil!

Here are a few pictures of Emmett. I weighed him today by weighing myself alone and then myself with E and subtracting the two. It appears that with a diaper and a onesie on he weighs 13.5 pounds. Whew! I knew that car seat felt heavier!

I took a picture of this quail because he was sitting outside on our patio without moving for about 15 minutes. Look how fat he is! Phil and I think quail are the funniest birds. They are all over the place in our neighborhood and for some reason they like to run really fast to get out of the way of things instead of just taking off in flight. It's funny to watch.

Jackson cracks me up all of the time now, and he did something for the first time this afternoon that I thought was really funny. I was sitting and nursing Emmett and J ran over to jump on our leather ottoman. His belly hit first and caused him to break wind. I laughed and he looked over at me and started laughing, too. Then he looked right at me and pushed out another toot and cracked up! It was a good thing he had a diaper on, because once he realized that he could make that funny sound he pushed another few times to try to do it again. It was so funny!

Here's a cute video of J and E together. I was trying to catch E smiling, but of course he wouldn't do it for the camera. Hopefully he will soon!
