Two Big Events!!

Well, we're a couple of days behind on this huge news, but things have been a little chaotic at our house lately.

For the last couple of weeks, Emerson hasn't been sleeping as soundly as we had become accustomed to. He would wake up in the middle of the night occasionally and eat, which Natalie and I were not used to. It wasn't too terrible but we couldn't figure out what was going on. Was he just extra hungry or was there something else? Well, Monday morning after cleaning his face, Natalie made a discovery about our little man, he had cut his first tooth. It's just barely there but it is definitely cut through the gums and sticking out. We were a little shocked at how early this has happend but every baby is different and at least we had some possible insight as to why he hadn't been sleeping very soundly. It's tough to get a picture of it because he doesn't usually hold him mouth open for very long, but we'll work on it.



However, the party on Monday didn't stop there. After work on Tuesday, I picked up Emerson and the teacher at "school" had told me that he was really close to rolling over from his back to his front. That night we let him have a lot of time on the floor and we played with him and sure enough, he would roll over... almost all the way except he would have one of his arms tucked under him and would usually flip back so we didn't count that as totally rolling over. Towards the end of the evening however, he finally rolled all the way over and got his other hand out from underneath.



We were so proud of all he had accomplished in the last 48 hours. First tooth and now rolling over! We were so excited about his new developments except for one small detail. Even though Emerson can roll from his back over to his front, he still hasn't mastered the maneuver the other way. So a couple times in the last few nights we will hear him all of a suden start screaming from the other room. He's rolled himself onto his stomach, but can't roll back and is stuck there and freaked out. Now we just need to get him rolling the other way and he'll be all set.



We'll have some more pictures and video later on, probably this weekend when we do his 4 month post, but I wanted to get the news out to the world.
