Emmett goes west!

We just returned from a long weekend in the Bay area.  We went to the wedding of some close friends (Peter in fact is the bass player in Mobius Band) and to visit Sarah's cousin Sean and his wife Kate.

Everybody had a great time.  Emmett as always was very fun and good mannered.  He won over every scowling face on the plane with his shenanigans.  More than a few times we heard: "What a happy baby!"

"Who's that handsome guy?"

Emmett really looked up to cousin Sean

Emmett practices "blue steel"

Swept up at the academy of Science aquarium.

"Look at that big fish!"

We got a chance to visit the redwoods at Muir Woods.

Looking fancy at the wedding.

All of our friends were excited to see baby Emmett. He was happily handed from person to person. Peter and Jess did a great job, the spot was delightful, the weather perfect. It was a great chance to hang out with lots and lots of dear friends.

Looking cute out at dinner.

Emmett made some new friends through the window of a unique ice cream shop we visited.  Some of the flavors: olive oil, chile and lime sorbet, peanut butter curry, bourbon and cereal (secret breakfast), and passionfruit milk chocolate!

Bittersweet Spring

Sadly, we had to put our well-worn and much loved beagle Bella to sleep this weekend.  She had been a wonderful part of our family (and permanent lump on our couch) for the past 7 1/2 years, and it was certainly hard to let her go.  It has been a little strange around our house without her, but we are so happy to have such a catalog of wonderful and hilarious memories to treasure.

We miss you Bella!

Any way, life moves on...
As Emmett has tought us, you must keep truckin'.

Getting ready to crawl

Here I come!


I love being outside!

Taiko. Emmett, and Sarah enjoying the nice weather.

This post is for Dad aka Noam


Noam is up in Vermont recording his new album and requested some cute Emmett pictures. 


First day wearing my sun hat, it was 70 degrees today.


On the swing set again!



Walking dogs with mom is fun!



Best of all is my tiny drum set! I play it every day, just like dad!

Magic Wings


Last weekend we went to see the butterflies at Magic Wings in Deerfield.
We all had a great time!



Emmett loved just sitting on the ground and looking at all of the butterflies!




Emmett especially like standing in the gazebo and looking around.

Between the Sheets

We just started teaching Emmett how to put himself to sleep.  And I'm happy to say that last night, only the second night of our sleep training, he promptly fell asleep on his own and didn't wake up crying the whole night!

I like sleeping!

And playing in the bed!

That's some good sheet!

Awesome!
