He's Walking! (Like a drunken man)
Seems like each time I talk to my folks or grandparents, they ask, "Is he walking yet"? E's extended family has been eager to hear the news because when we were together in June, emergence of this skill appeared imminent. Since then E has become increasingly steady on his feet and lo and behold, this weekend he started to consistently take a few steps at a time without support. On Friday he took a few steps at Aunie La's house which caught us off guard and made us smile. He saved the real deal, though, for Daddy's return. (Colin was in Tahoe this weekend for our friend, Dennis' bachelor party.) Yesterday Emmett showed off his fancy footwork for Dad. Auntie Danielle captured the moment on video. Such fun for all of us!
In general, Month 10 has brought us much joy. Emmett has had frequent playdates with his buddy, Jacqueline. He has learned to clap and throw balls. His favorite pastimes include ball play, drinking banana blueberry smoothies from an open cup and playing outdoors. We recently purchased a "water table" for the backyard. This table is a huge source of entertainment - Emmett absolutely loves to splash around and explore his water toys. Yes, between the water table, deck stairs, neighborhood cats, and flowers, the backyard has become E's favorite place to be these days. Emmett makes this preference pretty clear - today at 7:15am he banged on the back door and when this failed to get mama to open the door he brought me one of his shoes! Ha! We'll be sure to take and post lots of photos next month when our little man celebrates his first birthday!
