Okay, we're back in business ... So much to fill you in on! Where do I start? When last I posted, [Emmett had finally started saying 'mamma,'](http://littlebabylump.com/2010/11/17/emmett-says-mamma/) and while he still sometimes prefers [more](https://www.littlebabylump.com/blog/bid/219475/A-Long-Overdue-Update) Topics: [Weekly Updates](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/weekly-updates), [Milestones](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/milestones), [Firsts](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/firsts) ## [Emmett Says 'Mamma!' ](https://www.littlebabylump.com/blog/bid/219476/Emmett-Says-Mamma) Posted by [Pamela Vaughan](https://www.littlebabylump.com/author/pamela-vaughan) Nov 17, 2010 12:47:00 PM ![mamma](https://www.littlebabylump.com/hs-fs/file-313963397-jpg/images/mamma.jpg)It's official, and there's no disputing it this time: Emmett has totally made me the happiest mom ever, saying 'mamma' for the first time while we were sitting on the couch last Friday night watching TV.

Starting to speak in full sentences and mimicking almost anything we say (EXCEPT any form of 'mom' -- can you tell I'm bitter?), his favorite new question is, "Where did they/it/he go?" He's even got the hand motions down pat! See for yourself in this recent video from Nana and Gran-D ...

We have the venue, the date, the officiant, a [wedding website](http://jamesandpamgetmarried.com) and I even found the dress!

He's been all about the babbling for quite some time, but he has also been slightly behind on his vocabulary.� Lately though, he's really been excelling on the talking front. He can now say *hi, bye, dad, one, two, blue, choo choo, ball, wow, wee *and *eye*.� Am I forgetting anything, James? 2. He's developing quite a little sense of humor.�� He fakes sneezes when we sneeze, and he's just a goofball in general. 3. He loves to dance. Like -- loves it.� He dances whether or not there's music, and I'm pretty sure he's already a better dancer than I am.� This kid's got moves.� I can't wait to catch him on video. 4. He now weighs about 28 lbs, and he's half an inch shy of 3 feet tall. 5. He likes to swim.� We've been taking parent-toddler swim classes at the [Fitness and Recreation Center](http://bu.edu/fitrec) at Boston University, and he's definitely a fan.
