Milestones

Emmet is full of little milestones--

He now has three bottom teeth through, and his top teeth are budding.


He (semi) crawls-- definitely gets around scooting on his belly (army crawling)-- breaking in between for a little downward dog.

Sing "Clap Hands, Clap Hands" and he follows - even if he's in the swing and can't get his hands out of the straps, he tries

Speaking of swings, he loves his outdoor swing-- and the girls love to push him.

Does a fast wave of his hand and says "Hi," which at this point sounds like more of a grunt-- nevertheless. . . .

Does not like to be left in a room alone-- prefers to be on the kitchen floor where all of the action is!

Loves bath- rolls right to his belly-- kicking hard and slapping the water.

Sleeps great, eats great, and is overall, an easy going little boy.

9 Months Old

The girls and I have a special song we sing to Emmet.  It's written by John Lennon and titled,

"Beautiful Boy"

Before your cross the street.  

 

Take my hand

Life is what happens to you

While you're busy making other plans

Beautiful, beautiful, 

beautiful, 

beautiful boy

Beautiful Boy, by John Lennon

Let me Tell you about Alice

This pretty girl just boarded the bus for first grade!  

Here is what she said she was most excited about:

1. Meeting her new teacher (Mrs. Voigt)
2. Making new friends
3. Lunch
4. Recess on the BIG playground

I love her confidence.  We missed ice cream social this year, and she has no qualms about heading riding the bus and heading into school without knowing where her classroom is or what her teacher looks like.  

She loves school (and let's hope it stays that way!)

and . . . it will be Audrey's turn here in a few weeks.

Best of luck today Alleycat.  We love you and are so proud of our first grader!
