What a smile...

 

Twins?

We can stop pretending now - I have proof that Emmett is my identical twin except for the fact that I am a girl and he's a boy, we're seperated by 26 years, and I'm actually the person who gave birth to him. Apart from all that, though, if he had a mop of hair instead of none, and a jolly fetching cowboy hat, he could be me. Lucky boy, he's coming over to our way of thinking! He started life as a DM, but those days are behind him now. Welcome, my son, welcome! Enjoy your stunning good looks!  

Hairy man hutchens

January sure is one boring month. Not much going on at all. Just thought I'd post this picture of Emmett to show the flowing locks of hair he has acquired. I exaggerate somewhat, but at least he's not bald as a plucked chicken anymore. On the back things are still a little sparse. This isn't helped by the new habit of shaking his head from side to side constantly. Friction, don't you know, its stopping his hair back there from thriving.

I brought Emmett for his injections yesterday. He was great, barely a whimper out of him, but last night I think he must have been feeling crappy - he kept falling asleep for a while then waking up crying. I spent a good portion of the night going up and down to him. Good times, good times.

I looked after himself AND Aoibhin yesterday morning while Mam was at the dentist, and I gotta say, give me work any time. One I can do, but you don't get a second to yourself with the pair of them. She can be a bit of a rascal with her crying until you devote 100% of your attention to her. I had the pair of them on my knee at one stage.. he was all smiles, kept going for her hair. She wasn't too pleased with this, surprisingly enough - I thought everyone loved when Emmett tried to rip their hair out. So that was mad altogether, albeit funny. He'd put the hand out for her hair, she'd slap it away, he'd laugh, rinse and repeat. Kept me amused until she started crying, but lucky Granny came home to save the day! Super Gran! 

I love my mammy!

Thats what Emmett would say if he could only talk. As it is, he chews on me just to prove it! That's my boy! 

Helloooo!!!


Check out my tootsies.. Isn't he the prettiest little man on the face of the earth! Sorry, just a self congratulatory moment there! 

I'm mobile now, baby, yeah!!

 

Two Christmas babies

Happy New Year!

We got over the Christmas period anyway.. Santa came, one member of the household was spoiled rotten. Funnily enough, the other two didn't get anything. We must have been on the naughty list. I must admit I saw that one coming. Santa brought a walker, he's a bit of a fan, although he can't walk in it. He is slowly but surely pushing it around the place. He gets a bit frustrated when it doesn't go where he wants it to, but he'll master it soon enough.

So now 2006 is upon us. He isn't so well, bit of a ticky tummy. Must have been all that turkey and chocolate. Oh no, wait, that's me. Must have been all that bottle and cookie crumble baby food. Hopefully he'll pick up, but he was a barrel of cats last night. Oh boy he was. Fingers crossed he'll be better soon!
