My First Christmas!

Hi guys, Emmett here again with the help of Aunt Amy!

Wanna hear about my first Christmas?

Well, of course you do!

I think I like this Christmas thing. All I have to do is hang out and be cute and people give me presents.

I don't even have to bother opening them myself, because my big brother does it for me!

I got to be passed around to everyone while they were opening gifts. 

I guess they all want to hug me because I'm so stinkin' cute.

Landon got one of his favorite gifts from our Gigi, Bella's mommy.

I know he loves legos, so this is perfect for him!

Uncle Gosh was being silly in this next picture. He put on the football helmet that my big brother got from Bella and Gramps.

Man, I love Christmas. But it is so exhausting! Aunt Amy got a picture of me napping towards the end of the present opening extravaganza. But hey, can you blame me? I'm still just a little guy.

I love Christmas, and everyone says they can't wait until next year when I get to be more involved. 

I'm excited too!

I hope you guys all had a great Christmas too!

Oh, and PS, can someone PLEASE explain to me who this "Santa Claus" is ?

My brother has talked about him a lot in the past few days!

Merry Christmas, Darling..

...I wish you Merry Christmas,

Happy New Year, too,

I've just one wish,

On this Christmas Eve,

I wish I were with you!

Fiance and I had our "Christmas" yesterday, under the watchful eye of Nephew!

I love this one. They're sitting exactly the same!

Little man helped open gifts!

Knowing we will be married within the next few months is the best Christmas gift!

Some of the gifts.

Merry Christmas, Darling :)

Hockey All Night!!

Landon got what may be his favorite Christmas gift tonight!

Uncle "Gosh" gave him a set of sticks and a ball for hockey.

Landon recently told us "hockey all night!"

Translation: This is so fun I want to play all night!

Baby brother was watching from the safety of the couch!

I like this one best!

Tis the Season...to catch up!

Christmas is in 4 days!

I can't believe it! Things have been so crazy and busy around here that I kind of forget that today is December 21.

Of course the mid 40's to 50's weather isn't helping that. This girl wants snow.

So in the interest of keeping everyone up to date, here's one large, rambling post on the things that have been happening:

1.) We found a wedding and reception venue! And it's perfect! AND. I get a beach wedding after all!

    On May 12, 2012, I get to marry my best friend down at Lake of the Ozarks!

2.) Today we are recovering from a late night and early morning from going to the Fox Theatre to see...

Beauty and the Beast!

    It was magical and fantastic and the food we had before hand was great too. (Just another perk)

         Although our anniversary is the 27th, we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than going to see a      show!

3.) Third, and possibly the biggest, our family became very familiar with Mercy Hospital in St. Louis.
Yep, Landon was back in for a CT with sedation and for observation. He did very well overall, and we are still waiting to see what comes of all of it, but as for now, we will be happy that he's home now!
           -Side note: Emmett did great with hanging out at the hospital, despite the fact that we found out that he has a DOUBLE ear infection, perforated eardrum, and a cold. The Dunham household has temporarily converted to their own home clinic for the boys.

Still incredibly cute even though he's not feeling well!

Well, I guess that's the Sparknotes version of all that has been happening in the past few weeks!

If I don't get a chance to tell you before, Merry Christmas!

4 Week Tubby Time!

Hi guys! I'm 4 weeks old! And I got to have my first bath at Bella's house! I've had baths before, but this one was cool because it was my first one at Bella's!

The water was kinda a shock at first! (can you see it on my face?!)

But then I got used to it! Because I love bathtime!

This is how it went:

My big brother watched my bathtime!

All wrapped up in my towel!

But, all good things have to come to an end. 

So I had to get all dressed again and continue hanging out with my family!

Happy Halloween, Y'all!

Hey guys, Emmett again. Today I am three weeks old! And it's my first Halloween!

Aren't I a cute little pumpkin??

And, my brother is a super-cute cowboy!

Two milestones from my week:

1. I met Gad! And he's my newest friend!

2. I christened my Aunt Amy twice in one diaper change!

Successful week, I think!

Hey guys, it's Emmett again! No, I'm not another week old, but I did have a good weekend! I finally got to meet this guy that my big brother and Aunt Amy talk about a lot... Landon calls him Gad... We are already best buddies!

Little Cardinals Fans...

 Little Cards fans watching their team win the World Series!

Emmett would like you to check out his awesome bib!

They are too stinkin' cute!

Two Weeks Old!

Hey guys,

Emmett here again with Aunt Amy!

She's kind of failing by putting up my two week old pictures 4 days late!

But I've been busy being the bait to get my Bella over to my house so she can find her Mommy and Daddy (my great-grandparents) waiting to surprise her!

Aunt Amy said something about her turning 29 again...I don't know much math, but I'm not sure that makes sense!

Anyways, here are my "super" 2 week pictures!

I still sleep a LOT

My Aunt Brooke and cousins Eoin and Nola came to meet me last weekend too!

My brother is very protective of me. When Aunt Amy tried to talk to me, Landon told her:"SHHH! EMMETT SLEEPING!"

Thanks brother!

Aunt Amy promises next week's pictures will be more on time!

Love and kisses from me, Emmett, age 2 weeks and 4 days!

{Sunday Snapshot} Best buddies...

Landon absolutely adores his baby brother!

It's so great to see!

Emmett would also like you to know, that he's growing so he can be big and strong like his big brother!

And definitely just as cute :)

{Favorite Photo Friday} Multiplying.

Picking this week's favorite photo was nothing short of impossible!

But here's the winner:

This is Landon and Emmett, the day after Emmett was born.

Can't you just see the bond already growing between the two of them?

I can't wait to see their relationship grow and the love between them multiply!

Here are some close seconds to the FPF:

Trying out his old/Emmett's new toys.

Seconds old, meeting his mommy for the first time!

My First Day at Home!

Hi everyone, Emmett here! (My Aunt Amy is translating for me)

Today I got to finally leave the hospital and go home!

I love my new house and have been so busy since I've gotten here!

I've been sleeping, more during the day than my mommy likes me to...but hey, being this cute is exhausting!

My big brother has been so helpful! He even tried to put my hat on while I slept. Nice try, Landon!

When I finally woke up for a diaper change, I gave everyone a big surprise and marked my territory on my room. Sorry, Mommy, looks like you're gonna have to wash my curtains!

When I finally decided to wake up and look around, I decided I like it here! I have so many visitors and everyone talks about how cute I am!

Thanks everyone for adoring me! I think I'l go back to holding Aunt Amy's finger now...she totally loves me. But then again, who doesn't?

Brotherly Love

Get ready to go "awwww!"

Yep, he's just as cute today as yesterday!

Landon is an AWESOME big brother!

He loves giving Emmett kisses!

Holding hands....so precious!

Looks like STL is the city of brotherly love today!
