Jordan, Lexi and Emerson

Now that Emerson knows how to crawl and sit, he is found like this most often when he wakes up in the morning or from his naps. 

Six Months Old

We got new sling shots and these two were the first to try them out.

One of his many pensive looks.  Perfect little face.

Cutest three cousins - 

Preston can crawl around and then bring himself to standing position against most anything.

Emerson's first trip to the Lake with the family.  He LOVED the water.

And he loved the feel of the sand in his feet and hands.

Family fun in the sand.

 Emerson is growing like a weed.  He is now 6 months old - has kind of said 'dada' and 'mama' but hasn't done it again since.  He crawls all over the place and can now pull himself up against furniture to a standing position.  He has just started to eat solid food this past week with sweet potatoes being his favorite food so far.  He is happy and pleasant until he gets hungry or tired but sleeps well and is very good.
Jordan is doing well in his job and is hoping to have some really good sales of homes in the near future.  They are planning to move out in the next few months into a place of their own.  I hope they are ready and can afford it.  Lexi is making things all the time for Emerson, from clothes, to quiet books to ties to decorations for his room.  They leave in two days to go to Washington for a week to visit Lexi's family.  Only her mom has met Emerson, so it's time for him to meet the rest of the family.  It has been a pure joy to have them living with us for the past year, especially in being able to watch Emerson grow and learn so many new things.  I will miss them when they leave.
