[caption id="attachment_1107" align="aligncenter" width="539" caption="Santa Baby"][![Santa Baby](https://www.littlebabylump.com/Portals/188884/Images/dsc01142.jpg "Santa Baby")](http://littlebabylump.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dsc01142.jpg)[/caption] In developmental milestone news, Emmett is officially only a month away from his first birthday.� He now has six teeth -- four on the top and two on the bottom in the front -- and as of earlier this week, he weighs 21 lbs, 11 oz. 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) ## [Daddy's First Father's Day](https://www.littlebabylump.com/blog/bid/219528/Daddy-s-First-Father-s-Day) Posted by [Pamela Vaughan](https://www.littlebabylump.com/author/pamela-vaughan) Jun 24, 2009 11:51:52 AM James had his first Father's Day last Sunday, so of course I did a successful job of teasing him by wrapping his presents and displaying them on the kitchen table the Wednesday before.� I know -- evil.� To be fair, there were three gifts, and I let him open one each day starting on Friday.� Father's Day itself was fun.� We indulged James' craving for KFC, then later went out to dinner to [Charley's](http://www.charleys-restaurant.com/) with his parents who were in town to help James' step sister move.

Last Saturday we had Adrienne's baby shower.� We went with a spa theme, complete with candles, a hand scrub, peppermint soaked washcloths, a cool spoon eye treatment and soothing, spa-like music.� Everyone had a great time, and Adrienne was showered with some great gifts for Baby Gus (and some gifts to pamper herself as well!). Check out some of the day's events in pictures ...
