Austin

Austin is so quiet. he is so different then Emery was. GOOD FOR ME!!!! no complaints at all. He was 6.12oz 19in long and born on the 13th of jan. he sleeps well if he is wrapped tight and wakes up about three times a night unless he isnt wrapped then he is up and fussin alot. Im tryin to make him be difereent then Em so i dont hold him as often and at times i let him cry it out. Austin hasnt even slept with me he will be a crib boy. no mistakes this time around i hope.

ME!!!!!!

I turned 22 in october and im Having my second baby boy in Jan. Im scared but so excited at the same time. (Emery will have a best friend for life) Matthew (my husband) and I have picked out a name but lately I have been thinking I want to change it. Joshua Michal Merritt to a differenrt first name keeping the same middle and of course same last name. Need to see what my husband says.

I really want to go to school and do something with my life. I want to Follow a dream that i know is still out there waiting for me.

I also want to follow my husbands dream but unfortuantly Icannot do both. I need to think whats best for my boys. And right now again unfortunatly its not following any dream and comming up with a new dream that Emery, joshua, Matt and I can all follow and love. I just really want whats best for my two boys.

HOTWHEELS

Its amazing to me how a few hot wheels keeps Emery (19 month's old) entertained for hours. As were walking threw the toy isle if he sees them he will start pointing and wanting them. We have a whole bunch here at Grandma (Toni's) house and he has them Every were. he aslo loves the beadden neckalecs and puts them in a purse and walks around with them.
He loves going out side and going on the big boy swings and does very good on them. hasnt fallen once.

Em

Emery is a year old still not walking with out being held up by a cofe table couch or me. and still only saying mamma and thats only at times. hmmmmmm i really want him to start talking it would be such a joy. i even more want him to be walking. he did stand all on his own for about a min so maybe he is getting brave enough cross your fingers.

Almost a year

Emery is almost 1 im so excited. I have decorations picked out but now i need to decide the cake. im so excited to get emery new toy's cloths and whatever else i want to have him open for his birthday. :) im way excited.

Emery is almost walking and has 8 teeth. he still rather crawl than walk but thats fine with me. says mamma still but no other words but thats ok too.

already 7 months

Emery is seven months now and just now starting to really notice the tv. i put on cartoons in the morning so i can shower and cliford the big red dog was on and he just laughed the whole time it was so cute i loved it. he is so fun and is tickleish (wow idk how to spell that) but he is one fun baby boy. he has started to stand him self up and has been sitting up him self up from 6 months i think he will be walking by nine months :) crazy stuff

6 months old now

TIME HAS GONE BYE SO FAST. EMERY ALREADY HAS TWO TEETH AND IS GETTING A FEW MORE. ITS WAY CRAZY. I CANT BELIEVE THAT HE IS ALREADY SIX MONTHS IT SEEMS LIKE HE JUST ARRIVED. HE HAS STARTED TO TRY AND CRAWL ANS ALMOST HAS IT DOWN. TODAY HE PUSHED HIMSELF UP THEN FELL RIGHT ON HIS FACE. :(

Emery is now crawling well scooting he crawls for a sec then scoots the rest of the way. He has four teeth and is sleeping the night threw WOW. he has the cutest laugh that has also just come he use to just smile and try to laugh i love it a baby's laugh is the best thing ever.

5 months old

Emery jacob Merritt is now eating rice cereal with vegetables and also his fruits. he's not eating all of them but he is doing so good with it all. He now has his two bottom front teeth and well on his way to being a little boy and no longer a baby. :( its happy times and sad times for me.

MATT

my husband is in korea and im guessing he really likes it there. Because he has asked me several times if he can extend and have Emery and i go over there. He has been there for six months and he got to come back to see the baby. when he acctually sends me pictures ill put some on but right now i dont have any.

My son is now 4 months old and he is 15 lb and he is starting to role around. he wants to crawl it's just not working for him yet. before he could role all the way his head would get stuck on the role so his body would be turned and he would scream because he couldn't get his heavy head to turn as well. His ears seem so big to me i don't know who he gets his ears from i hope not me but don't tell me if my ears are big. oh he is so big he is so animated i took these pictures while we were in Utah i love them i cough him making a funny face on camera

see what i mean oh i love my baby boy so much i couldn't ask for more he makes me laugh all the time. He loves his toy's and he is now sleeping all the way threw the night "by him self" he is no longer sleeping in my bed" let me tell ya it was one big mistake letting him sleep with me but my momma helped me get him sleeping in his bed and I'm not so tired anymore that he just falls asleep with me.

Emery loves his grandma and grandpa hmmm some times it seems like he'd rather be with grandma then with me :( but I'm glad because mom wont always be here for him like she is now sooner or later I'm going to be moving and she wont and i wont be able to visit as often as i would like to.

emery is sleeping and its so funny he has the smallest little snore its so funny but it gives me the assurance he is okay and doing well. For some odd reason he likes to pull blankets over his head and then he will sit there and cry and scream until i get up and pull it off, if he doesn't like it wouldn't he pull it off him self or already have learned not to do it? oh well i just really gotta watch the boy he does that and roles so he is Mobile now AHHHHH cant wait till he crawls. OH ya guess what 4 months and he is already trying to sit up he almost has sitting up by him self down. if i set him down sitting up he no longer falls forward only backwards so gotta watch that too but he is doing so good i think he will be walking before most do. :)

Emery is doing so well he is already trying to pull him self up so that he is in a sitting position. He was in his swing to day and he grabbed the part in front of him and pulled him self up more he ended up folding him self in half. I didn't notice for a while ether oh well hes okay
