I can't believe it's already been 10 months since Emmett was born, yet it still seems like so long ago.� This past Sunday, James, Emmett and I went to Shawn and Sara's to babysit one-month old Ben while they went out for a lunch date, and it seemed like such a flash back.

I also realized how much easier it is to look after a one-month old than it is a 10-month old.� My gosh!� It's crazy to think about how our lives have evolved in 10 months.

Oh, what Shawn and Sara are in for in 9 months ...

Age Timer: 10 months

Last weekend was awesome, to say the least.� It was James' 22nd birthday, my parents came up from New Jersey to visit and we finally decided on a new apartment.� Good thing, because I don't know how much more Craig's List surfing I could stand.

It was really nice having my parents around.� Needless to say, Em got quite a lot of attention.� And, lucky for my parents, they didn't have to change one stinky diaper all weekend (which actually worried us more than it made us happy).� James and I were even able to go on a date for his birthday.� I took him to a sports bar for some pre-dinner drinks and to watch some Sox and Celtics, and then we headed to the Beehive for a late meal and some live jazz.
