Meeting Gus & Sprouting Toofers
Busy isn’t even the word to describe the past couple of weeks. Packing and moving (and unpacking) took over our life for a while, and then once we were done with that (well, almost), we headed over to Michigan for Labor Day weekend to visit my sisters, brother-in-law and new, 2-month old baby nephew, Gus.
Emmett tries to reason with Gus
Besides the unfortunate incident of me leaving my digital camera in the seat-back pocket on the flight to Detroit, (I’m still mourning its loss, which included an adorable video of Emmett on his first-ever flight) we had “great times” in the Great Lakes State, watching an Olympic sailing qualifying race, hanging out with babies and taking pictures (on cameras other than my own). And Emmett’s first couple airplane experiences went surprisingly well. A little bit of crying here and there, but nothing we (or other passengers) couldn’t handle.
In other news, Emmett has not one, but two toofers! Two of his bottom front teeth have broken free, and James and I agree that now he looks just like a classic cartoon baby.
The rest of this week will involve finishing touches on the apartment and new digital camera shopping (so we can take pictures of said apartment).
Man, it feels good to blog again!

Aww, how sweet! Emmett and Gus already seem to love each other. It’s so great that he’ll have a cousin close in age. But that’s awful about your camera!! You must be devastated.
Hopefully all goes well with camera shopping and you’re back in business soon.
Congrats on the teeth, Emmett!! CJ has yet to break any teeth yet (thank goodness for my own sake)!! I’m glad to hear your flight went well, too. We’ve got standing in the crib over here. No crawling yet, still his army technique but he does a fantastic job of getting on all fours into sitting and back on to all fours again….. Crawling has to be around the corner, right??
Next to Gus, Emmett looks huge!!!
