When Emmett has a bad day, he goes straight to the bottle.� I guess it's never too soon to have that "Don't Drink and Drive" chat with your son...

Good thing it's only formula.

Age Timer: 9 months, 2 days (In two more days, Emmett will have spent the same amount of time outside the womb as he did inside!)

Now that I have a camera, I can share with you pictures of our new place!� But first, Emmett and I would like to take you through a virual tour ...

Of course as soon as I post a video about Emmett's awesome army crawl, he decides to one-up it.� Emmett is officially a normal crawler now, and honestly, it's all he wants to do.� Seriously - he's sooo over his walker now...

He's so into crawling that I had to purchase a baby gate to keep him contained in one spot.� It gives him free range of the hallway, which really helps to support my productivity during the day...

In college, a few of my friends appropriately nicknamed my camera "Pamera."� It went with me wherever I went, and everyone appreciated how well it documented our college years.� When they heard about the loss of my camera a couple of weeks ago, the nickname resurfaced.

Well I'm pleased to announce I received my replacement Pamera in the mail yesterday!� Pamera III, I think it is.� I haven't stopped taking pictures and recording video since!� A few highlights (though I added tons more to Flickr - check the blog's right-hand column) ...

And in case you're a baby and are interested in knowing how to escape from your bouncer seat, check out Emmett's how-to video:

In other news, Emmett pulled himself up to standing position for the first time the other day!� I know what your reaction is (since everyone's reaction has been the same): "You're in for it now!"� Yup - I know.� I'm hoping to capture his new stunt on video soon; right now all I have is a shoddy photo from my Blackberry (the camera hadn't arrived yet).

Look for pictures and a virtual video tour of the new apartment this weekend!� I'm also working hard to get a shot of Emmett's two toofers, but it's a tough one to capture.� Emmett doesn't exactly follow the "open your mouth" direction very well yet.
