I may be a week behind... but you know, it is just impossible to get photos uploaded and blogs written on time these days... so here are the milestones from LAST week! :)
So, today's Milestone Monday marks what could potentially be the freakiest milestone yet, freaky in that it is about 3 months early if it is really happening...
We are pretty sure Emerson is starting to teethe!
WHAT?!
Here are our signs: increased drooling, a constant need to gnaw on his hands or our fingers, crankiness when he is not chewing, not wanting to suck on his pacifier but wanting to chew on it, eating in short sucks and taking short breaks instead of for extended periods of time, and runny poo.
His gums definitely feel like there is a sharp ridge on them, too!
So, I read up on this phenomenon, and apparently it IS possible for a baby to start teething at 3 months (we are at 4) and sometimes a baby will begin to feel teething pains a number of months before the teeth come out.
This is NOT a road I was expecting to turn down at this age. And it is also not a road I want to be traveling for the next 4-12 months continuously! :)
Other than this milestone, Emerson was able to do some traveling over the past week!
He surprised his dad with tickets to the University of Arizona basketball game against Oregon State. We made a day of it and went down to Tucson to have lunch at Beyond Bread, hang out on campus, and then enjoy a pre-game beverage at Frog and Firkin. Last, we finished the evening (after the game) with dinner at No Anchovies. Thanks to Brittany Bickley for being an amazing babysitter for Emerson while we were in town.
Here are the pictures to document the day.

| But we laughed at this recent addition to the town... |
 |
| Yep, our seats were not close-- too expensive to get any closer! :) That is the roof, by the way... |
 |
| However, we still could see the Cats clearly win... |
 |
| We went closer to the court after the game just to know what it would have been like to sit close... |

| Mommy's first shot since baby, a Yogurt Covered Pretzel. It was delicious. |
