E's First Word: kkxee cah (KITTY CAT!)

For the past few months we've heard lots of infant babble...coo, ahh, dadada, mamama, nanana. Over the past week or so we've noticed that when Emmett sees Sheba he says, "kkee". This morning he started to alternate between "kkee" and "cah" while looking at a picture of a cat in a new animals picture book!

Man on the Move!

Our little Emmett is certainly a busy, busy man these days. During the past month he's been crawling backwards, turning sideways, perfecting his "downwards dog" yoga pose and then...finally...on Mother's Day Emmett began to crawl forward with ease! Two days later, on his eight month bday, E began to stand up in his crib (even though it has been lowered to the lowest notch) and today he climbed up several steps in the office!

During Month 7 Emmett added some new sounds to his repertoire - "mama", "mumum", "nana", and "baba". He's chatting up a storm and he's still got a terrific sense of humor. Emmett also started to attend baby swim lessons this month, partially in preparation for our family vacation to Hawaii.
