Happy 10-Month Birthday to Our Little Pookie, Emrick!

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING PICTURES ARE SO CUTE, YOUR HEAD WILL PROBABLY EXPLODE.

The way his eyes look in some of these photos (especially the ones in the brown chair) reminds me so much of Marcus’ childhood pictures. And did you SEE those bushy manbrows? Awe. Some.

Emrick weighs 19 pounds, 12 ounces and measures about 26.25 inches long. He has been sleeping for 11+ hours a night, every night, for about a week now. That’s up from an average of less than 10 hours, and this increase really did just happen suddenly. Could this be a sign that he’s having a growth spurt? Even if “spurt” just means he gets another ONE FULL INCH on him by 12 months? I hope so!

Happy 10-month birthday, Pookie Bear! We love you eternally… in any size 🙂

    He is such a “special blend” of the both of you. I see both. And even in pics that he is not smiling, he looks happy and content. He is sweet, angelic, cherubic, etc. You are doing a great job. Much love to that boy!

    BTW, Stanley Steamer on their way to clean up the pieces of my exploded brain on the floor.

    Sorry about your carpet, Sam. But at least you survived! I am assuming that the reason no one else has commented here is that they all died from head explosions.

    So sad.

    I would have commented sooner but I have been staring at our beautiful baby boy for so long I totally forgot that there is a comment box at the bottom of the page! I love the second to the last picture! He looks so happy to see the camera there waiting for him like the paparazzi following as is only fitting since he IS the star! Want to squeeze him!!!!!

    i too, <3 the second to last "pee-a-boo" photo! i was VERY afraid to look at the photos, and tried to resist for a while; but couldn't fight the urge any longer.
    he IS explodably-cute. luckily, i wore a protective suit while viewing, and i think i will be okay.

    My head exploded a long time ago from the cuteness of the many posts of Emrick pictures. Love each and every one of them!

    My head is still intact but I have a permanent grin on my face. I think you should publish this post everywhere so the whole world will be smiling.

    Not grinning…..laughing out loud all by myself! He is a chip off the old block! Adorable.
