SIx months old

Our sweet Emmett turned 6 months old yesterday. We'll get a picture up of him really soon. He is nice and fat, grabs his feet, loves to jump, and giggles a lot.

He's asleep at the moment, so Eugene is watching "Jaws" on t.v. and I am cruising the internet like I don't have a sleeping baby beside me who may wake up at any moment.
Here's what I've been perusing:

THE WAVELADY VISITS

Anna Shapiro came up from Rhode Island to meet Emmett.

We all went out for ice cream at 'Beals' in South Portland.

SURF LEGEND

Emmett does his best Greg Noll impersonation.

WHOA!

Just a minor case of chaos at the Cole-Draper household.

PLANET CLAIRE

Congratulations Mike and Jessica. Good idea to name your new daughter after one of the best B-52'S songs ever!

Emmett is 5 months old!

Emmett turned 5 months old this week. He is suddenly moving a lot - kicking, grabbing, patting our faces, cramming his fist into his mouth. The last one might be because he is teething.

July Family Dinner

Sorry we are so behind in keeping you up to date on Emmett's activities. Catey and Eugene are both working full time now, and Emmett is changing so much. He's grabbing his feet now, and possibly cutting teeth.

We did squeeze in a dinner with Nana and Pops Draper and Sarah, Josh, Lily and Ben Platt (Catey's sister's family).

Here are the boys checking each other out.

Here is the whole family.

Also, I just came across this website: Dress Me Up, "gear for little ones on the go." She's got a cool take on stuff for babies.

Enjoy your week!
