Today, the basement; tomorrow, El Capitan

Emmett demonstrates an impressive toe crimp on a half-inch baseboard... and leaves his parents wondering how the heck he hasn't yet figured out how to bust out of his crib.

The power of a Rocky's burger

On Monday, Emmett sampled his first Rocky's burger.

His Auntie Clare had to stop him from eating all of hers. Rocky's is a confirmed hit with the youngest StranMcCann. His parents are thrilled.

However, his post burger nap was not to be. Either Emmett had indigestion, was super fueled by the enormous hit of protein, or was just chomping at the bit to get back to Rocky's.

Whatever the reason...Emmett has just figured up how to pull himself up to standing while in his crib. Time to lower the crib. Or teach Emmett to get back down on his own. Or put chicken wire over his bed. That might thwart his escape efforts.
