He's getting more adventurous about his standing, too.� If you let go of him he can stand without help for a few seconds, and if you hold one of his hands, he'll walk around with you.�� He can also now climb onto the chair in our living room by himself, which means he now garners a lot more attention from me.� Can I say the cliche thing?� He's seriously growing up so fast!� After much hesitation, I even gave him his first (very) overdue haircut tonight - just a little off the sides. *For more pictures from Emmett's Santa Baby photo shoots, [check out the Flickr set here](http://www.flickr.com/photos/littlebabylump/sets/72157622897567415/).* **Age Timer: **11 months [more](https://www.littlebabylump.com/blog/bid/219503/Santa-Baby) Topics: [Weekly Updates](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/weekly-updates), [Milestones](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/milestones), [holidays](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/holidays), [Events](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/events), [haircut](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/haircut), [santa baby](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/santa-baby), [Christmas](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/christmas), [baby](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/baby), [santa suit](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/santa-suit), [standing](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/standing) ## [Drunk Baby](https://www.littlebabylump.com/blog/bid/219510/Drunk-Baby) Posted by [Pamela Vaughan](https://www.littlebabylump.com/author/pamela-vaughan) Oct 18, 2009 9:52:35 AM When Emmett has a bad day, he goes straight to the bottle.� I guess it's never too soon to have that "Don't Drink and Drive" chat with your son...

In the life of Emmett, there's not too much exciting going on this week over here.� He seems to have a runny nose, so his nickname of "SlobberPuss" has slowly been evolving into "SnotterPuss."� His Halloween costume came in the mail the other day, and it fits him perfectly!� We can't wait for all of you to see him in it!

I'm thrilled to be a first time aunt once Gus arrives.� It's so crazy to think that if Gus is born by July 16, I'll be a first time mom *and *aunt all within 6 months!� Babies, babies, babies!
