Emmet tried rice cereal for the first time and was not a fan.  He likes it now but it sure was fun then

Murphy the Beta

Emmett found a new favorite toy in the kitchen, don't worry Greg is holding him up from behind

He is wearing his 6-9 month clothes now since he is such a chunk!
He is getting really good at sitting up on his own!

Cyris treed his first cat and would not leave it alone

Our life in February

Well I suppose it is time for a post since it has been a month and a half, time is just flying by these days!  In the wise words of my friend Melissa "Time is subject to quantum mechanics meaning that it behaves as both a wave and a particle. This is why even though time is continuous, it sometimes seems to make discrete jumps".  That is how these whole year has been, just jumping through the days until all of a sudden it is March!  The first three pictures are our family pictures from December.  My friend Tiarra did an awesome job!


We try to go on walks everyday and on really cold days Emmett gets bundled in his puppy dog suit.  When I put him in it he was screaming his guts out.  I stuck in the binky and about 5 seconds after this picture was taken he was asleep.
Here Emmett is in his cowboy outfit.  Aren't those little boots so cute!
Emmett is a very silly boy.  He is happy most of the day unless he is tired or hungry.  He laughs all the time and pulls the fumiest faces.  There is no way you could be sad with this little baby around he just brings such joy!
Cyris loves this duck.  He fell asleep the other day cuddling it.  Unfortunately a game of tug of war ended with duck having to go in the trash, poor Cyris.

February 20th Emmett turned 4 months old!!  He is getting to be such a chunk!  His thighs are so big I cannot wrap my fingers around them.  Even his knees have a fat roll!!  He is 24.5 inches long (40th percentile), 15 lbs, 9 oz (75th percentile) and his head is in the 20th percentile.  Basically he is short and fat!  I just love how chunky he is!
Life for me right now just got a little busier.  Two of my classes started on March 1 so now I spent all day Tuesday and Thursday on campus as well as Monday when I teach lab.  I am so grateful that this is my last semester of classes EVER!  After this semester I will have half the work done for my masters degree.  This summer I will do field work and analyze date, the fall will be spent writing my thesis and in December I will defend it!  I will officially graduate May 2012 once I make whatever edits are required after I defend.  I am so ready to be done with school.  I look forward to staying at home with Emmett and Cyris and perfecting my new hobby, cooking!  

Greg has been playing the job search game.  He has applied to a couple of jobs here in Utah and we are waiting to hear back from them.  Hopefully it will be good news when it comes!  This whole job search thing is really scary and I just want it to be over!  Greg has a freaking awesome resume so I don't know how the hiring committees wouldn't want to meet him and interview him!  I would like to move out of Utah just because I have always moved some place new every 2-4 years growing up.  We want to stay in the western US though but hey wherever we get a job I will be grateful and I won't complain, even if we had to move someplace hot and humid like Mississippi or freaking cold like Wisconsin.
