I'm going to be completely trite here and just say it -- man, does time fly!� Exactly a year ago today I was being admitted to my hospital room at MGH in excruciating pain, waiting to [welcome my little baby lump into the world](http://littlebabylump.com/2009/01/18/say-hello-to-baby-lump-aka-emmett-james-vaughan/) (at 11:47 a.m.), and now he's a whole year old!� Happy Birthday, Emmett! I spent most of last weekend putting together Emmett's baby book (yes -- an actual book, with pages), which meant I spent a lot of time reviewing Emmett's major milestones within the past year, mainly through [pictures](http://www.flickr.com/photos/littlebabylump).� While I realized I have about a googolplex's worth of photos of Emmett, James and I both agreed that the following is one of our favorites (he's about 9 months here).� And feel free to leave some Happy Birthday wishes for Em in the comments.� It's been an awesome year!

Of course he just *had* to do some growing while we were away.� Lucy noticed a budding tooth in the front, top row of his gums while he was in her custody, which has without a doubt contributed to his crankiness this week.� Luckily though, Lucy also came up with what I'm calling the apple remedy: a semi-peeled apple for Emmett to chew on, which really does the trick.�� It keeps him occupied, and it feels good on his gums.� A lifesaver!� Check out the apple remedy in action: [caption id="attachment_1069" align="aligncenter" width="539" caption="Tart!"][![Baby Eating Apple](https://www.littlebabylump.com/Portals/188884/Images/dsc00855.jpg "Tart!")](http://littlebabylump.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc00855.jpg)[/caption] [caption id="attachment_1070" align="aligncenter" width="539" caption="The Apple Remedy"][![Baby, Apple](https://www.littlebabylump.com/Portals/188884/Images/dsc008571.jpg "The Apple Remedy")](http://littlebabylump.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc008571.jpg)[/caption] In other news, it's my sister's (Aunt Adrienne) birthday today.� Happy Birthday, A! **Age Timer: **9 months, 3 weeks [more](https://www.littlebabylump.com/blog/bid/219508/The-Apple-Remedy) Topics: [birthday](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/birthday), [Weekly Updates](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/weekly-updates), [Milestones](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/milestones), [family](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/family), [anniversary](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/anniversary), [teething](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/teething), [toofers](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/toofers) [All posts](https://www.littlebabylump.com/all) [Next](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/birthday/page/2) Search ### Subscribe by Email ### [![rss](https://www.littlebabylump.com/hs-fs/hub/188884/file-313297286.png?width=34&height=36&name=file-313297286.png)](http://littlebabylump.com/rss.xml)   RSS Feed ### Recent Posts ### Popular Posts ### Posts by Month - [January 2014 (1)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2014/01) - [December 2013 (2)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2013/12) - [November 2013 (3)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2013/11) - [October 2013 (2)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2013/10) - [September 2013 (1)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2013/09) - [January 2011 (1)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2011/01) - [November 2010 (4)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/11) - [October 2010 (1)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/10) - [September 2010 (2)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/09) - [August 2010 (2)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/08) - [July 2010 (1)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/07) - [June 2010 (2)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/06) - [May 2010 (3)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/05) - [April 2010 (1)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/04) - [March 2010 (1)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/03) - [February 2010 (2)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/02) - [January 2010 (5)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/01) - [December 2009 (3)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/12) - [November 2009 (3)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/11) - [October 2009 (5)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/10) - [September 2009 (6)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/09) - [August 2009 (3)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/08) - [July 2009 (4)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/07) - [June 2009 (6)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/06) - [May 2009 (8)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/05) - [April 2009 (6)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/04) - [March 2009 (8)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/03) - [February 2009 (8)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/02) - [January 2009 (7)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/01) - [December 2008 (7)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2008/12) - [November 2008 (5)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2008/11) - [October 2008 (7)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2008/10) - [September 2008 (8)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2008/09) - [August 2008 (10)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2008/08) - [July 2008 (4)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2008/07) [See All](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/birthday/page/1#)
