I just can't believe a month has passed already! Emmett is one month old. He now weighs 8 lbs 13 oz and is 20.75 in (at the doctor's office he was measured at 18.25 in - at the birthing center it was 20.5 in). I can tell he is getting bigger every day. Today I boxed up all his newborn prefolds and covers (cloth diapers) and mailed them to friends who are expecting. He still fits in his newborn clothes but it is only a matter of time. *sigh* I work with children; I have a 3 yr old; you would think I would get used to children growing. But I don't. I'm always amazed but the speed of which they grow and mature.
Anna is still doing well. She finished her first year of preschool. Her school had a wonderful program in which Anna clammed up. But that is okay as she sang the entire program for us in the car on the way there. LOL Honestly, you would never guess that she can be shy if you knew her at home. :-)
We spent the day at World's Fair Park last weekend for the Children's Reading Festival. It was hot and fun. Lots of crafts and activities for kids. The best part of the day was the fountains. Anna loved getting wet and running through the water. This year she was actually brave enough to run through those giant streams of water! Here she is being goofy. I love seeing her personality develop.
We have been so busy lately this is where Anna crashed one night. :-)
One last picture of Emmett. He is accompanied by a childhood stuffed gorilla of Jon's.
Wow did that month fly by! Emmett is looking adorable (does his hair have a red tint or is it just the sun??--Does this give me hope for a red-haired kid??) Anna is so cute too, hope she's adjusting to little brother :)
