Well, I thought I'd update a bit more while Emerson is busy playing with his giraffe and listening to music. He LOVES music - any genre, any artist. I've got pictures, pictures, and more pictures, so get ready for an Emerson Extravaganza!

Yesterday was my Dad's birthday, so Happy Birthday to you! He got some golf balls, some clothes, some books, and a dvd of 1776 (that one is from Emerson). Emerson LOVED that movie - even though he saw it through the bellybutton window - and he decided that he and his grandaddy should watch it together. Lots. All in all, a good day with a lovely chocolate fudge cake. I forgot to take pictures though. Does that mean I get to have another lovely chocolate fudge cake in order to recreate the moment?

Two Months

Two months old! Time flies when there's a baby in the house. Emerson had his two month checkup today. He's perfectly wonderful...but we all knew that. The shots were over and done with in a flash - almost before he had time to scream. He has adjusted really well to my work schedule and I look forward to our weekends together. Steve and Emerson really love to have their father-son time on Wednesdays. I can't believe how much he's grown and how much he learns and changes every day.

Seven Weeks

I can't believe that Emerson is seven weeks old! I got home from work today and was greeted with a lovely smile. It's hard to leave him in the mornings, but coming home to a happy, lovely little boy is worth it! We're all busy sorting out our new schedules - mornings aren't much fun! But Emerson is sleeping through the night (more or less), so that helps the days seem smoother.

School is an adventure, as always, and I'm enjoying the new students in the drama department. Other than that, things are just ticking along nicely in O'Toole land!

Six weeks old and wondering what to do with these toys...

Sleeping.

Just had a bath

Everyone loves story time!
