Emmett the Monkey

At my Boston baby shower last year, I could've sworn I'd already nailed down Baby Lump's first Halloween costume (pictured here - a gift from Lindsay, Maggie and Julie).� Turns out I was slighly off at estimating how big Emmett would be at his first Halloween.� I tried Emmett's monkey suit on him last night, and well, you can see for yourself how funny he looks.� It fits him perfectly now, but I doubt I'll be able to squeeze him into it in a month... (Can you spot the toofers?)

Don't worry, I have a few other Halloween costume ideas up my sleeve, and they're all as equally adorable as the monkey suit (if not more adorable).

Meeting Gus & Sprouting Toofers

Busy isn't even the word to describe the past couple of weeks.� Packing and moving (and unpacking) took over our life for a while, and then once we were done with that (well, almost), we headed over to Michigan for Labor Day weekend to visit my sisters, brother-in-law and new, 2-month old baby nephew, Gus.

Besides the unfortunate incident of me leaving my digital camera in the seat-back pocket on the flight to Detroit,� (I'm still mourning its loss, which included an adorable video of Emmett on his first-ever flight) we had "great times" in the Great Lakes State, watching an Olympic sailing qualifying race, hanging out with babies and taking pictures (on cameras other than my own).� And Emmett's first couple airplane experiences went surprisingly well.� A little bit of crying here and there, but nothing we (or other passengers) couldn't handle.

In other news, Emmett has not one, but two toofers!� Two of his bottom front teeth have broken free, and James and I agree that now he looks just like a classic cartoon baby.

The rest of this week will involve finishing touches on the apartment and new digital camera shopping (so we can take pictures of said apartment).

Man, it feels good to blog again!
