Two months old

To celebrate his two month birthday yesterday, Emmett took his parents out on the town. First to the Remembrance Day ceremonies at the war memorial, and then to the H1N1 vaccination clinic where they got their shots. He's too young to receive the shot, but served as a backstage pass to get his parents in as part of a high risk group.

At his two month checkup, Emmett's doctor was pleased to report that he is growing like a weed. Weight and head circumference are right where they should be, and his height continues to be off the chart compared to other babies his age. That NBA contract is looking more promising.

Emmett was pleased to hear that news too, though not so pleased to hear he has to get his vaccinations next week...

H1N1 and the flu shot

Emmett's mom and dad headed to the vaccine clinic today to get their flu shots. Dad got his, and half an hour later, came down with a really bad cold. Alas, the clinic did not have the type of vaccine needed for lactating women, so mom was turned away. The H1N1 clinic was just down the hall, but having heard of the six hour lineup, she decided to hop on the train and head home instead. (Emmett's first C-train ride).

Emmett woke his mom up every hour the night before for a little snack, so his poor mom was exhausted today. No new pictures as a result...she couldn't string three words together, much less operate the camera. So here are a few from the archives...
