11 Months

I can't believe Emerson turned 11 months on the 6th! And even more, I can't believe he is WALKING!!! Little E took his first steps in early August, and now...he is cruising halfway across the room!! Fun times!!

Labor Day in the City

We had a great time in Chicago over the Labor Day weekend. Emerson's grandparents and aunt were in town, and we did lots of fun things...including a boat trip of the city!

Yummmmmm.......

Emerson didn't really eat the corn, but he l-o-v-e-d acting like it!!

Portland, Oregon

We had a great time and stayed very busy during our family vacation to Portland!!

Emerson's first hike...

The Columbia River Gorge and Multnomah Falls...

The Coast, Pacific Ocean, and nearby playground at Cannon Beach...

The Oregon Wine Country...

Emerson's picnic dinner overlooking Mount Hood...

The Multnomah Village Parade...

Hangin' out and makin' noises with Dad at the Lucky Lab in Multnomah Village...

Emerson's new friend, Calvin Rose. They were so cute together...

Chillin' at our loft in the Pearl District. We had views of Mount Hood and Mount St. Helens. It was beautiful...

Chicago Air & Water Show

We had a great time at the Chicago Air & Water Show today. Emerson LOVED the planes!! He didn't mind the ear plugs, but he DID NOT like it when I covered his ears with my hands!!

New Wheels

I'm no sure which Emerson likes better...his new wagon or the box in which it came???
