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.

Visitors from the East

Emmett's Aunt Lindsay and Uncle Blair arrived from the east for the weekend. His parents planned an action packed weekend, including lunch at Rocky's, watching speedskating, swimming lessons, skiing, and a night in the mountains. Emmett was delighted to have them in town, and especially likes hanging with Auntie Lindsay, who supported him while he tried standing...

...and read lots of books to him...

...while his dad and his uncle went to the hockey game.

Burgertime, sushitime, anytime.

Rocky's Burger Bus, with the donation of a couple of Rocky's Specials (thanks, Jim and Kathy!), has become the official fast food sponsor of young Emmett. We'd always described Rocky's burgers as being the size of a small child's head, but now we have photographic proof.








Today was also the day when Emmett's mom fell off the sushi wagon. While being careful to temper her intake, she is nonetheless thrilled to once again include raw fish in her diet.
