Emmett and his "moons!"

 This week I managed to get some of Emmett's words on film, as well as some of his, um... special behaviors. Here's a brief list:

1. He moves his lower jaw back and forth while he talks sometimes. It gives his speech pattern a lovely vibrating quality that is definitely unique. In addition, he often just goes about his business with his lower jaw pushed to one side, giving him the crooked smile we have grown to love.

2. He says "Oh no!" all the time. If something happens - good or bad - you're going to hear this from him. And he has a distinct Northern accent, too...for which I blame Canadian Caillou.

3. He loves pointing out the "dark" places. We didn't film this, but he likes to shut all the doors to our hallway so that it's dark inside, while he's in there!

4. He says, "There it is" a lot, too. Any time he finds something, or if you find him after he's been "eye-ding" then "There it is!"

5. He definitely has some favorite animals these days: fish, worms, lions, monkeys, to name a few.

6. He likes saying "No." What kid doesn't?
