Emmett Swims and Cries

Here are a couple of pictures of Emmett's last swim lesson (at the beginning of March.) Emmett was a fantastic trouper, one of the youngest babies in his class, yet one of the most tolerant going underwater and floating on his back. Could it be because of his easygoing personality and Daddy pouring water on his head everyday at bathtime? We think so, and will always remember how sweet it was to have him rest his head on our shoulder, belly up, kicking his feet, and singing to him "I've been working on the railroad" which seems to be his favorite song.


So many people have also mentioned that Emmett always seems happy. This is definitely one of his dominant qualities, but he is human and very much a baby. As he gets older, he becomes more vocal about his feelings - here's a picture of the cute little crumpled, complaining face that visits us each day :)
