Hanging out with his buddy 3 1/2 month old Seamus. Seamus is Amy's first baby and she was our Midwife who delivered Emmett. I wish I could have recorded the sounds the two of them were making at each other..like two little pterodactyls.
Emmett at 7 1/2 months old playing on our bed while I fold laundry...and take pictures of course ; )
.One of the pictures my Dad took of Emmett while he was here visiting...just shy of 8 months

8 Months old and lookin handsome!
The last two weeks has been very busy. The week before we decided to do a little spring cleaning which involved getting rid of clutter and cleaning out every room. Then we switched the office and baby room around and Tyler painted it. The color is perfect and I can't believe what a difference a fresh coat of paint makes. It was orange before and now it's a fresh looking blue with a touch of purple. Now I just need to find some removable wall decals to decorate with .... think we might still go jungle but I'll get back to you on that.
My Dad and Marlene came for a visit, it was their first time seeing Emmett since Christmas and their first time out to see us here. We had a great visit. There was lots of photo opportunities and lots to see and do. I heard my Dad on more than one occasion mention the thought of retirement out here...I think that would be a very wise move. I can't say I wouldn't like to have some family move out this way. Dad & Marlene both took some great shots of Emmett too and I've included two of those..more to come as i get them.
Two weeks ago we started giving Emmett Cheerios to eat and he loves those a whole lot. Funny to watch him pick them up with his fingers. He's also getting pretty good at sipping water from a cup..not a sippy cup..but a cup. Think we will skip the sippy cup all together except for maybe on car trips if needed.
Teetering on 20 lbs he has gotten too heavy to carry in the carriers that I have so I am selling those and in place I have bought a Ergo carrier ..this one is much more comfortable so that now when we go for walk on the beach it isn't over in 10 min cause my back is killing me. He still isn't crawling forward but rocks on his hands and knees and shuffles backwards for now. Also still no teeth but the dental hygienist that came and spoke to us at my Moms group says that it could take up to a year. No rush though, we are still breast feeding and I'm in no hurry to feel the wrath of little teeth.

youre going to want a sippy cup for moments like eating out. trust me.
after spending time in maui with 5 kids under the age of 4, i can tell you that much less mess happens with sippy cups involved, when those tantrums inevitably come up...
