Emmett had a really good day today. He actually took a 1-1/2 hour nap in the morning and about a 2-1/2 hour one in the afternoon! It was glorious!! Oh, how I wish he would do that every day.
I had stopped giving Emmett solid foods for a week or so because he had started fighting me about it and his pediatrician said that meant that he probably wasn't fully ready and not to force it. Well, he's definitely ready now. He lunges for the spoon now and wolfs down whatever I offer him. I've even started giving him Cheerios and he gums them pretty well. Tonight I fed him some peas and rice cereal for dinner and then put a pile of Cheerios next to my plate to let him munch on while I finished my meal. He would work on the one Cheerio in his mouth, swallow it, and then lean over and stare at the pile until I put another in his mouth. He's so funny!
He was in a good mood when he woke from his morning nap (because he actually slept for the right amount of time!), so I took some photos...
And here's Jackson in the same pj's at the same age after one of his morning naps. These pj's have about had it, though. The zipper is broken and they're stained on the inside from diaper ink. I may keep them just in case our third baby is a boy so I can put him in them at seven months just for this picture. :)
We went to gather eggs again this morning. Jackson looked so cute channeling Elmer Fudd...
He hates to leave that place. I had to almost drag him out of there today!
Here are two videos of J counting and making animal sounds. They're very similar and will probably only appeal to grandparents (and maybe aunts). :)
