Shared due date party

Today our friends Alex and Anne brought their son Augie to our house for a walk in the park. Though Augie is two days older than Emmett, they shared the same due date (today, March 13), and as a result the same conception date which means that though Augie is older than Emmett, he is not really. So strange.

This was both Emmett's and Augie's first play-date with anyone. As you can see in the picture, they really seemed to have a good time together (Augie, left, Emmett, right). The walk in the park was Andrea's longest stroll since popping Emmett out, and was therefore very encouraging for Andrea's recovery.

The day's other big event was Emmett's umbilical cord fell off this evening. I took the bike and trailer to pick up a newly purchased dehydrator and when I returned Emmett's cord was sitting on the edge of the sink (Andrea placed it there). The waiting is over: we now know that Emmett has an innie. I just took the picture below and while trying to properly record the new belly, the uncovered water rocket just south of the belly button fired on the camera and Emmett's face---the reason for the dour look.
