We've had a drooly, cranky boy on our hands the past week and this weekend we discovered why. Emmett's getting his 1st tooth! He's right on par with his sister at 4 months.
I won't say how many pictures I took to get this one. Haha! :-)
The end of last week I returned to work. After being home for almost 4 months I was starting to get used to it. But, I have to do what I have to do for my family. I'm pretty lucky to have a husband that has volunteered to stay home again (AND work part-time)! It makes it SOOOO much easier to go back.
Things are going pretty well at work. It was a little funny getting into work last week to find out my computer wouldn't start up. It made me nervous, but thankfully I was given a new computer and was back up and running! My computer apparently took the break from work literally.
Aria's starting to readjust to me not being around in the mornings again. Tonight when I put her to bed she sweetly said to me, "when I wake up in the morning you will have cereal with me?" So sweet, but it almost gave me a little knot in my throat! Kevin said she's been real good the past couple mornings with him. Usually when I'm around, she's all about Mommy and doesn't do well with Daddy's directions. I am happy that she's listening to Daddy without me there. And she is continuing to be very patient while Kevin takes care of Emmett's needs.
Emmett seems to care less if I'm here or not. Haha. With Aria around Kevin really hasn't spent a whole lot of time with Emmett while I was home. It's fun for me to see Kevin really starting to connect with him during the days alone with him.
Silly daddy (crazy toothbrush-hand-guy) behind this door. Oh! He has stickers!
Emmett slept through it all.
Aria is looking at the loot with Grandpa.
Yesterday we did pumpkins. Aria spent at least 30 min painting this pumpkin.
Now on to the real deal. She loved the mess!
The final product...Mommy and Daddy got creative!
By this evening we had 3 ladybugs in the house, including Doogan! 
Family picture before Aria headed out.
She had a great time! She enjoyed playing with her friend Trinity the most. Her family came over for dinner and trick-or-treating. They were so funny together.
Aria decided to tell a story based on the many little disney princess books she got for her birthday. Her are the translated stories...
Story one:
"Once upon a time, there was that girl in that castle. The Beast was joining him and her in dining room castle. And one day, the king said, wicked king said, 'Don't get that mirror broke!' The mirror said 'Buenos Dias'."
Story two:
"Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Princess King. And one day, she told the mirror, and she said 'now listen here guy!' said 'Hello', and 'how how ho.'
She combined parts from Beauty and the Beast, Snow White, The Lorax, and Bear's New Friend, not to mention spanish class at school.
Emmett has a new trick. He can giggle now!
It all just tuckered him out. This was only a little while later. He passed out!
While I was nursing Emmett this afternoon, I had Aria* up at the table painting to keep her occupied. I could see her, but I couldn't tell exactly what she was doing. I heard her talking about needing more paint and some babble about the gruvulous glove (from the Lorax)**.
