months to years

Emmett is 4 months old! Is it possible that he is growing up quicker than the other two?
Yesterday Emmett and I went on a walk, just the two of us.
It was nice.
The whole time I was thinking, "remember when you just had one baby and you used to go on walks." I would sing and talk and point out trees and birds.
This walk I didn't do any of that. I actually still do all of that all day long, answering questions,
describing feelings, singing songs...
So this walk was a nice quiet walk.
Just my baby, asleep, and me.
For a moment I thought, "Is Emmett being deprived of all of that?"
Then I remembered that not only do Jeff and I get to talk to Emmett but...
Braxton talks to Emmett
Adelle talks to Emmett
Emmett is a lucky kid and I don't think he is deprived of anything.

Except, maybe some personal space once in a while.
Hey M, I know how you feel!

On a side note. I've started calling Emmett "M". I really like it and I think it's fitting. The other day Jeff asked, "why do you call him that?" I said something to the effect of, "cause I like it, why not?" Jeff said a little hesitant,"I don't know if I like it." Me, "what?" Jeff, "isn't that what they call that blonde girl on Legally Blonde?"
Me (laughing) "that's L you dork."

Adelle is growing too. This girl.....no words can describe, that's for sure. She is the instigator of the family. She does things I said my kids would never do. She has her daddy so whipped it's really quite amazing. Stinkin' cute she is!

"Nack" that means "snack" in Adelle's words. The other morning before breakfast she gets in the cupboard and pulls out this gigantic container of jelly bellies. "Nack," she says with that twinkle in her eyes.
Are you kidding?
Does she know who I am?
Yes!
But that is just her...if she wants something she goes for it.
Why not ask?

Does every kid this age love to wash dishes? Or just mine?
I remember Braxton would stand up here for hours playing in the running water.
Now this is what Adelle likes to do.
Mommy's little helper!
