Emrick is 6 months, also .5 years, also 181 days, also 25 weeks and 6 days old today! Can you believe it? Our little Pookie is growing up so fast. And he gets noticeably stronger and more coordinated every week. He is not quite crawling yet, but he has learned to scoot on his belly (though sometimes he forgets he knows how to do this), and he rotates like a pro! I think crawling is not too far away. When he is on the floor and a toy is just out of reach, he gets pretty ticked off! He kicks his legs and lets out a deep, guttural yell. And then he either pushes himself forward on his belly, or more amusingly, puts his forehead on the floor, lifts his hips high in the air and comes down again, somehow winding up closer to the toy. It looks like a break-dance move!
A few weeks ago we made a family trip to Ikea. Before leaving, we visited the “As is” section, where we found that darling little chair Emrick is sitting in. The merchandise in the as-is section usually has mild to moderate damage, but this chair did not have a single flaw that we could find. Maybe it’s missing something, like a cushion perhaps? I don’t know, but it’s super cute and at $4.99 it proved to be an irresistible purchase. I know Emrick is a little small for it now, but by the time he’s a year (or two) old, I’ll bet he’ll be getting into that chair all by himself. Just like a real boy! In the meantime, we’re just practicing. Yesterday is the first time I put him in that chair, and at first he just looked curious, like in the two pictures above.
But then he quickly became indifferent and moved from there to being visibly… un-thrilled.
Emrick weighs 16.5 pounds and is 24.5 inches long. He has brown hair with blue eyes. He likes binkies, tickles, and long walks on the beach.
Come on, Pookie. Give us a smile…
That’s our boy! We love you, Emrick Braden Sorensen. Here’s to the next 100 half-birthdays we hope to spend with you!
With kisses and squeezes,
Mom and Dad

He looks so GROWN UP sitting in his chair like a big boy!
He looks TOO grown up. Can you slow him down a little? He gets cuter every day.
Squeezably delicious!
You better work with him on his posture and sitting up straight! I know what the chair is missing now…velcro, to keep him from sliding off of it! Can’t wait to see my beautiful nephew in just five days.
Dear editor-in-chief of MarcusandShona.com. I am writing to you to express utter disbelief and a deep displeasure. Of all of the injustices that befall the world today, one is being perpetrated at the very moment this is being written. You see, it has now been an entire eleven days since anyone has seen current pictures of Sir Emirck. I understand the shock the must have come over you as you gravity of eleven days sinks in. It is a shock that I relive each day that I excitedly go to my bookmarked page and see no new images. What must he look like now? What new adventures has he been up to, of which we are all being deprived? Please, I implore you, this travesty must end soon. For the mental well being of Emrick groupies world wide please post soon. I am far too emotionally drained to continue.
Yours truly,
Diagonal-Aunt Kelly
Ditto….what she said!!
