Happy Belated Birthday Joseph

As my, better late than never, birthday gift to you I am writing a update on our family.  Thanks for inspiring us all to stay in touch and to be Forever united Families.
  We are enjoying Emmett ever day.  He is a sweet baby as long as you are able to get a burp of tow or more out.   He has yet to adjust to sleeping then longer than three hour increments.  He has a fuzzy little head with longer hair in the back. It fairly light but definitely brown. He has really long fingers and toes.  Anna will tell me, "The baby is crying."  She thinks its funny when squeak cries.  When he was first born he would squeak two or three times before he let out his full cry.  Eli loves to hold Emmett and made him a Valentine in class the other day.  He wrote, "I am sorry that I have to go to school."  Lydia is the ever helpful older sister.  She enjoys being responsible in changing his diapers. The kids have all stepped up their game in helping around the house.  They would before, but now its do or not get done because mom can't  pick up the slack.

This is Emmett today! A couple of days after he was born his weight dropped to 7 Lbs 5 oz. Last Friday we took him to the doctor, and he weighed 8 lbs 11oz. He grew a half on inch.  

This is how Emmett felt after the Panthers lost the superbowl.  Well...in reality he hates this hat. I think its the third time I've tried it on him and each time he cries and cries.

Here is again just chillin.

His eyes are dark but sometimes they look blue and sometimes brown.  Still too early to tell. I still should do a hospital flashback, so look forward to more as long as I still have me sanity.
