2 month checkup & Kentucky trip

It was a very busy week! On Tuesday last week, Emmet went for his 2 month checkup and shots. He weighed in at 13 lbs 12.5 oz, which is much more than I was expecting. He certainly is growing. He also measured 24 3/4 inches long. Length tends to vary based on who's measuring, but he's definitely over 2 feet.

He also got his immunizations. Emmet did really well. He didn't fuss with the first one that was a liquid in his mouth. The first shot in his left leg, it took him a minute to start crying, and by then the second shot was ready for his right leg. Then he really started hollering. So I picked him up and held him and talked to him and he settled down very quickly. I'm so proud of my big boy!
The highlight of our week was the trip to Kentucky for the family reunion.
Emmet got to meet his Great-Grandmother and many great-aunts and uncles, and cousins.
We also took him to "meet" his Great-Grandfather (and middle-name-sake).
Here he is lounging at the hotel.
He did a very good job on the trip. One of the things we really appreciate about Emmet is that we can lay him down in his crib, or on a bed, and he entertains himself. He really doesn't fuss unless there's something wrong. It makes life much easier for us than I know some other parents have it. We're really hoping he continues this trend as he gets older... =)

This week we've been busy, but not with anything in particular. Two nights ago, I put Emmet on his tummy, with his arms bent underneath his chest, and he held his head up for over two minutes! I'm so proud of him!

Last night I was talking with Emmet, and Oscar felt left out. So we got these pictures.

I can't believe how much his face has changed, you can definitely tell he is growing! It is good to hear that you had a good trip too :).

What a big boy! He's heavier than Josh now though two months younger. He's long, too.
