8 Months

Well, Emmett's been 8 months for a while now, and I'm just getting around to blogging.  He went in for an appointment and is now 25 lbs 3 oz (98%) and 28 inches long (61%).  He has become mobile; he figured out how to roll a couple of weeks ago and has since become proficient at getting where he wants.  He can scoot himself around so he can position himself to be able to roll in the direction he wants to go.  It's been really fun seeing him progress, but I am definitely a little sad to see my baby grow up so fast.  Jeremy keeps pressuring me to cut his hair, but I just can't bear to do it yet. Although I will concede that the hair over his ears IS getting a little long.  We'll see how much longer I can fend Jer off.  ;)
Emmett has gotten REALLY good at feeding himself.  Just the past few days he has started to actually let go of the food when he puts it in his mouth.  And he really likes the sippy cups that have handles for him to hold.  Now if he'd figure out that he needs to suck on the spout instead of chewing on it ;)

He also LOVES music; I have found that the Raffi Children's station on Pandora is amazing lol.

Emmett has started to want to be super independent sometimes.  It can drive us nuts.  He can just be super stubborn about not wanting help and then getting upset when he can't do it himself.  Oh what are we in for when he's older??

Well, I can't think of anything else to say, so here are the customary pictures of the little man.  =D

 This picture is kind of a weird angle, but I think it makes Emmett look super cute.
