Fall 2005

What a busy month October has been! Mama Vanessa is pregnant with baby #2 and made it through her first trimester this month... The morning sickness wasn't fun, but only lasted for 5 weeks and fortunately was not all day sickness for most days. The baby is due on May 11, 2006 and we are very excited to meet the next member of our family! We aren't going to find out the sex of the baby until it's born...so you all better start guessing :)
Another very fun thing that happened in October was that Grandma came to visit us from Tucson, Arizona. This is a picture of Emmett with his Grandma Debby (left) and his Granny Susan at the Fall Festival in Cape Coral. We went to that festival with Emmett's cousins Sydnie and Dominick right before Halloween. It was very fun for everybody!
Emmett calls his Grandma "Awma" and his Granny "Datty"...he's still working on refining his pronunciation, but has expanded his vocabulary immensely. He says eyeball, awful, doggy, kitty, meow, sings E-I-E-I-O, and communicates his needs and wants very effectively. Most of the time without screaming! ;)
We are also working on learning to use the potty, Emmett is very interested and is leading this early effort. We'll see where it goes from here, but it's a good step and our consumption of diapers does seem to be dwindling for now.
