Baby Blue Buddy

This is "Blanket" he has been around since Emerson was born. He has slept with Emerson nearly every night since he was born and Em still asks every night for: "Blanket?" and when he is feeling cuddly he keeps Blanket close by. He is like a little companion for Emerson and he adores his baby-blue-buddy: Blanket!

So the other day we were getting ready to leave the house and Em was dragging Blanket around. When I opened the door he dropped Blanket and headed out the door. I got him in his car seat and decided to go get my fleece vest, as it was feeling cold out. When I got back out to the car I could hear Emerson giggling. I sat down and turned around to see what he was giggling about. He was reaching for my fleece vest saying: "Blanket!" Yes that's right Emerson mistook my nice blue fleece vest for his nice blue blanket. Funny right! Except that now every time I wear the vest I'll feel like am wearing a baby blanket out of the house. At least I made him laugh :)

Orange Smile

One of Emerson's favorite fruits... don't let that fool you. There are only 2 other fruits he'll willingly eat - the rest he treats like poison.

Dinner Dilemas

So we have been struggling with a picky eater in our house for quite some time now. That's right, you guessed it... its Dean! No I'm kidding - although sometimes I wonder :) Its actually Emerson who won't try any of the meals I so lovingly prepare for him. Unless of course there is red sauce on it or ketchup on the side. I guess its just pay back for my picky eating habits when I was little.

I thought I would share some photos we took at the dinner table last week. This is typical dinner behavior. We try to get excited about trying the "yummy food". Then he tries it and thinks we've poisoned him. And then every time we try to get him to take another bite he cries like we're trying to kill him! I know I'm not a great cook but I would never poison him... not knowingly anyway.
