Papa Chee in Butch Boy outfit circa '50s

Lately

Here is what Emmet has been up to lately...

*His first tooth came through just this morning! He has been a trooper through it all, too - hardly any fussing!

*Says "Dada dada dada dada dada" all day long.

*Emmet and I have this conversation approximately 10 times a day:
Me: Emmet, say Mama
E: Dada
Me: mmmmmaaaaaaa-mmmmmmaaaaaa
E: Daaadaaa
Me: Ma....Ma
E: Da.....Da
Me: Mama
E: Dadadadadadadada

*Practicing new sounds, clicking his tongue, blowing raspberries, etc.

*Using cereal to style his hair at daycare

*Wearing his Papa Chee's "butch boy" outfit from the 50s!

*Can go from laying on his tummy to sitting all the way up all by himself!

*He is so close to crawling - he gets on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth.

*Learning to eat all kinds of new foods. Here he is with a graham cracker he swiped from a little girl at daycare while the teacher had her back turned. He gummed about half of it!

*Loves to give big slobbery kisses

*Loves to jump in his activity center

Here is Mommy at 7 months...

And here is Emmet at 7 months! I think there is at least some resemblance!

7 months

Emmet can now hold on to the couch and stand up by himself!

Emmet says, "Dada!!"

Cousins!

*For the record, it is very difficult to get a good picture of a two year old, a six month old, and a two month old. But I think we did pretty well :)

Kisses for Cousin Ben!
