Working part-time allows me to spend my Mondays and Tuesdays with this crazy little monkey. Emerson is getting such a big personality so he keeps me VERY entertained! This is what happens when I try to get him to work on tummy time. Since he's mastered rolling from his belly to back that's the first thing he does whenever you put him on his tummy. Once he's off of his tummy the next thing he does is go straight for his feet. He found his feet about a month ago, but he's just realizing that if he stretches just right he can put his toes in his mouth. Anytime he's laying down it's almost instant that his foot is in his mouth. Changing his diaper has become a big joke! This is pretty much the position he takes every time I'm trying to fasten his diaper.  

Emerson has become very good at self-soothing himself to sleep when we put him down for naps or bedtime. Since we put him in his crib awake he tends to find things to keep him entertained until he passes out. Generally this includes sucking his thump and talking gibberish, but every now and then he finds those feet. We constantly walk in to find his socks hanging off his foot and soaking wet. Hey-whatever works! 

Unfortunately I won't be working part-time forever so I'm treasuring every minute I have with this little guy. The silly things he does makes my days complete!
