10 months

A few days behind on the monthly stats, but here they are nonetheless!

• 23 pds, 28 inches long. (75th percentile for weight, and still about 35th for height -preemies take longer to catch up in height- both scaled according to adjusted age)
• is a MOVER - crawls like a speed demon and gets into anything and everything (although his favorites are things that are potentially dangerous)
• Is OBSESSED with my family's dog, Rufio. We are still housesitting, and Rufio is the main attraction 24/7. You see Rufio walk by and then all the sudden Emmett comes barrelling along behind him full speed. Whenever I get up to make a bottle or something I tell Ruf to keep an eye on Emmett for me (and he does pretty good at it!)
• ALSO OBSESSED with the vacuum. That has been his #1 motivator in picking up his crawl pace.

• Stands and moves along furniture, and just recently started walking behind his walker (still slowly), and very proud of himself

• Has been trying to pull up on stuff for awhile, but just starting to really get it down.
• Hair seems to be getting lighter and lighter as it grows in
• Eating pretty much everything, I give him bits of whatever we eat. Loves pieces of lunch meat and cheese.
• Knows how to "give kisses". If you say the word "kiss" or making a puckering noise, he leans in a plants a generous, wet one on you
• Can stand on his own for a few seconds at a time if I steady him first
• Loves bathtime, swims all around like a crazy person and plays with all his toys

• 

  I love this picture because he's making such a Jared face!

  At his Neonatal followup, a psychologist tested all his fine motor skills and she sad he tested at or above his birth age! (Things like hand coordination, feeding himself, responding to his own name, being able to do an action on command, and she even placed a pencil and piece of paper in front of him and he picked it up and scribbled on the paper! I was amazed!)
• Loves Put in/Take Out toys and Cause and Effect toys (and Baby Einstein Dvds!)
