6 Months - Happy Half Birthday Emmett

My sweet Emmett,

This month you have conquered the accomplishment of sitting up all by yourself! It is pretty amazing seeing you progress baby boy. You even already are trying to pull yourself up in your crib.  We rarely watch tv but when we do you love Curious George (probably because you are a little monkey too). Emmett you have also started drinking water out of a sippy cup! You don't always get it in your mouth correctly but when you do you are a happy boy. You especially love it in your stroller while momma works out! You also got to celebrate your Dad's birthday this month. Grandma watched you while we went out to a comedy show for a much needed night out. You also went to your first brewery, Saint Archer Brewery!  You loved it so much you were trying to drink dad's beer! I think it made him proud ;) We went to the library for the first time this month and you loved it! We also went for a story & rhyme time which you couldn't stop smiling at.  Emmett, you have your first girlfriend I think ;)  Her name is Ava. She has brown hair and the prettiest blue eyes I ever did see! You guys love seeing each other and going on runs together at Stroller Strides, playing on momma's mat with her, going swimming, and going to story time together! Just another half a year to go till your birthday!!!! I can't believe its almost here.

NOTE: Next baby, do not take pictures with a note card next to the baby. Now that Emmett is 6 months he notices it and wants to eat it!

HE DID IT!!!

I am excited to announce that Andrew is now a CFA Charterholder!

For those of you that know him well, you know that for the past 4 years he has been taking these tests. It has been a tough and long journey but it is finally over! I would walk in on him studying and literally want to barf at how difficult the formulas were that he was studying....I really have no idea how he did it! I think I got a smarty!  So to celebrate, we had a bottle on Cristal (we got it as a gift for our wedding and we were supposed to drink it our wedding night but I grabbed the wrong bottle).  It is a surreal feeling that he is actually done.  No more 5 hour a day weekend studying! Time to get life back to normal. A vacation might be in our near future ;)
