Whenever James and I have attempted to take the Chicco travel system stroller onto the T lately, it’s been quite the ordeal. Let’s face it — the MBTA is not exactly stroller- (or even handicap-) friendly. It’s basically impossible for one of us to take him on the train in the stroller without the help of the other, and it really is hard work to carry it up and down the stairs in the underground stations.
So on Memorial Day, when we returned from our trip to the Public Garden, I decided to try out the Chicco umbrella stroller we were given by my friend, Allie. I’d always assumed Emmett was still too small to fit into it, but after realizing how big he is for his age, I figured I’d give it a try. Needless to say, James and I wish we’d decided to give it a go sooner. Em fits into it just fine, and it’s a heck of a lot lighter for when we need to maneuver stairs and the MBTA! I’m pretty sure Emmett enjoys how his feet are free-hanging. We went for a test drive yesterday, and he really seems to like swinging his feet.
Hope everyone enjoyed their Memorial Day yesterday and had wonderful weather like we did here in Boston! Yesterday, James, Emmett and I met James’ brother, Shawn and his wife, Sara (and fetal Baby K) for a picnic in Boston’s Public Garden. It was a pretty warm day, but we got a nice shady spot under a tree and ate yummy shrimp cocktail, crackers and sandwiches, played some frisbee and enjoyed the beautiful day off.
I finally found it! I’ve been meaning to post this video for a while now since it coincides with bloggers’ and comedians’ recent manbaby craze, but it’s not on TV a lot, and I couldn’t for my life remember what the commercial was advertising. Well I finally saw the commercial again, so here it is, Boost Mobile‘s disturbingly odd manbaby commercial. Kind of weird how the “father” has to shuffle down the freezer aisle like that …
Em has been totally into his feet lately. It’s pretty darn cute. He just can’t get enough!
"Get those feet!"
By the way, I forgot to update you on Emmett’s 4-month checkup! He got more shots, which he was not a fan of, and Dr. Reilly gave us the green light to start experimenting with solids (more on that to come). He’s healthy and happy as a clam, and apparently not so little anymore — 16.1 lbs. and 27.5 inches long! That puts Em in the 75th percentile for weight and the 99th percentile for height. Can you believe it? Emmett is the tallest kid in his class! He’ll definitely be in the back row during class pictures, just like his mom was.
