Visions of sugarplums

Emmett's crashed out waiting for Santa Claus. Man, I hope he's been a good boy this year. I suppose we'll see tomorrow. I suspect he might not be disappointed, he seemed to be fairly good to me. He's certainly not on my naughty list. Most of the time. Watch this space... 

Little snowman!!

Now come on... everyone knows it is a mother's duty to dress their child up in a great many embarrassing outfits and take lots of pictures to humiliate them at a later date. Its not my fault I'm just particularly good at it. He makes it too easy, he just sits there laughing along like he's in on the joke instead of actually being the joke. Some day he'll hate me, but for now its all systems go!

Christmas is just around the corner. I'm sure Santa is tanked up and ready to go on his rounds. Emmett doesn't really care one way or another, but we stuck a bit of a ps onto Eoghan's letter so hopefully he'll make his way down our chimney, too. After all, Emmett's been a good boy, most of the time! He's lying in his pushchair laughing at me at the moment... Trying to blow bubbles.. Little eegit :)

Well, frosty and I had better retire.. night night! 

Two tootsie teeth

Emmett cut his second little tootsie yesterday. He has Aoibhin beaten! Score!! Round one to the little DM! He has also started shaking his head over and back when prompted. He responds most to Granda on this one, but sometimes he'll do it for me. Generally when nobody else is looking, for some reason.

I brought Emmett into outpatients for his checkup yesterday. They took more swabs for the MRSA - I asked the doctor about bringing him to visit his post op granny, he advised against it. So for the very first time, we're spending the weekend away from my little man. We've done one night before, but not the whole weekend. This could get ugly! Ah no, I'm sure we'll all handle the seperation very well. I'm part looking forward to it (a lie in and no bottles to make before bed) and part dreading it (a whole weekend without my little puppy dog). I'd say his granny is 100% dreading it, because she'll be minding him. By the by, happy birthday, granny!

 

3 Little monkey cousins 

The littlest Santa! 

Ho ho ho!

Emmett had his first encounter with Mr Claus! He dressed up as Santa himself, someone once told him that imitation was the most sincere form of flattery and he took it very seriously. He looks as cute as a monkey in his little santa suit. No padding needed there, either! He wasn't afraid of Santa at all, but was pretty fascinated by the man himself.

Last week, on Emmett's 5 month birthday, he cut his first tooth! Such a big boy! He's pretty close to getting the second one now, you can see a little white line lurking underneath the gum just waiting to make an appearance. I'm willing it to come through for two reasons - to stop the little guy's pain, and more importantly, to beat Aoibhin. Come on, tooth, hurry up! She looks fierce funny with her single solitary tootsie. She is a very open mouth laughy kinda gal, and all you can see is this one little popeye tooth peeping out at you. Funny.
