The three of us headed up to Maine last weekend for Sara's baby shower.� Sara, with her cute little baby bump, got a lot of good baby loot, and we had a great time hanging out in the beautiful weather on the Maine coast for the weekend.

We also took Emmett out on his first boat ride!� Although I'm pretty sure he wasn't a huge fan of the life jacket we stuffed him into.� Babies have no necks to begin with, and when you put them in a life vest (which makes normal people lose their necks), they lose the lower half of their faces, too.� But man is it ridiculously adorable ...

I also took Emmett to his 6-month checkup yesterday.� He's up to 18 lbs. 3 oz. and 28 inches "tall" now!� We also got the go ahead to start him on fruits and veggies, too!� Applesauce and butternut squash, here we come!
