3 months already?!?!?

Yes, it's true- Emery Dean has hit the 3 month milestone. I can barely believe it, it seems like just yesterday that we brought him home from the hospital! He's as cute as ever (of course), smiling cooing all over the place. At three months his favorite things are much the same, the boobies are still number 1 on his list, with his hands coming in at a close second. He seems to favor his left fist to his right and we all wonder if he's going to turn out to be a lefty. I think its still too early to tell, but I hope he turns out to be a lefty like his mommy! He's getting better motor control over his hands and has started batting at the rattles and toys I put in front of him. And man is he strong! Now that he can see further one of his new favorite things is to sit and check things out. He loves to be in the Snugglie now that he can face away from me and look around. I've taken him to the store a couple of times this way and he's always the perfect baby. It's kind of wierd for me though, everyone all of a sudden is staring at my chest, but wait it's not my chest they are staring at but this unbelievably cute little thing strapped to it!
I must share the most exciting milestone Emery has acheived as of late. He has really begun to like his baths. He coos and smiles and doesn't even get mad when I take him out and put his clothes on anymore. Anyway, last weekend I was bathing him, giving him my usual commentary on what was going to get washed next. His hands are always a great washing priority since he's constantly sucking on them. Since they're always in a fist they get to stinking pretty bad after a day or two. Anyway, I was explaining that his little hands were next because "we have to get the shmuootz out," and the then all of a sudden he giggled! He loves how I say shmootz! So I said it about a million more times and he just giggled and giggled, which of course made me giggle as well. It was just about the cutest darn thing I ever have heard. So of course since then I have said shmootz about a billion more times and I think the novelty has worn off because although I still get a wide toothless smile it no longer elicites the giggles. Maybe he's just into yiddish. I'll learn some more and try it out!

In other family news, we are FINALLY moving. For those of you out there who haven't heard about the whole moving fiasco, I will give a short but not-so-sweet update. We were suppose to move into our new place on the 15th of January. However, after over 2 months the apartment still hadn't been fully remodeled as we had been told so the night before we were to move we decided that it would be impossible for us to live there. We did however find another place that in the end I think will work out better for us. It's way bigger and even has a cat door for Chloe to go in and out. But it wasn't available until the 1st of February, and needed to be totally repainted as well. So the last 3 weeks we have been living out of boxes in our tiny house which has just about drove me f*#$ing crazy!! Luckily Adam's dad had the time to come back to Seattle and painted the whole place for us before we move in. The place looks just fantastic and I can't thank him enough for all he has done. I'll post some before and after pics when I get the chance. So, thank you thank you thank you Jeff- you're the best Dad in-law-but-not-really a wife-but-not-really could ever ask for (sniffle, sniffle)!!!
This will be the last update for a bit because I'm not sure how long it will be before we get back up on the internet at our new place. But I promise once things get a little more settled I will post a bunch of new pics and will write more often. Until then- ciao!
Wait, one more thing. Since I have started this blog some of you out there have jumped on the blogging wagon so to speak and have started some yourselves. This made me very happy, I love checking up on them! However, there haven't been any new postings for MONTHS!! I know you're busy (you know who you are), but man do I want to see some cute new pics and updates!!!! So get on it girlfriends, the official hounding has begun...don't make me email you personally..... :)
