Whew! What a long week. CJ and Daddy spent the week playing and getting into a routine until CJ ended up sick again with brochilitis and an ear infection. Mama, Daddy, and CJ spent two hours at the doctor on Friday and poor CJ was stuck with breathing treatments every 3-4 hours all weekend. He definitely has asthma so we're hoping he will grow out of it quickly. Even still, he managed to have a great Easter and of course, was spoiled by everyone. His Grandpa McGinnis and Grandma Becky had the Easter Bunny send him a basket with lots of fun stuff. Aunt Cece sent a fun package with lots of CJ's favorites including a dollar which he promptly unfolded and slid under the stereo with the rest of his money. (We can't figure out why he likes to do this, but he's stored up over $10 so far. The weird thing is it's only bills that go under there; any coin change he finds goes into his pink sing along pig that is supposed to hold huge plastic coins). Of course the Easter Bunny came and CJ immediately ran over and ate the ears of the bunny. Grandpa and Grandma sent lots of fun things including a flashlight shaped like a dog that barks and shines the light when you open his mouth. (Thanks, Mom! LOL). The best present by far though was Uncle Eric coming for Easter. CJ cuddled right up with him and apparently thinks he's the greatest thing since sliced bread. It was nice to have family here. Easter's not yet done though because Uncle Johnny said the Easter Bunny visted them at Grandma Dee's house too so we'll celebrate a bit more this weekend. We miss everyone and can't wait to see you all soon.
P.S. The picture is of him opening the basket from Grandpa McGinnis and Grandma Becky.

Oh no! Casey made CJ sick? Why would he do that?

Global Baby

He's getting so big!  It's hard to believe that Cooper is 2 1/2 months old.  We've been home for 2 whole months and he is just growing like a weed.  The first month he gained just over a pound and was still very small.  This last month he gained over 2 pounds.  He looks huge to us, although, he's still only in the 20th percentile for his age. What's more noticeable than his size is how social he is becoming.  While he is still a Mama's boy, he is delighted to be a little brother and grins from ear-to-ear at the sight of his brother and sister.  His other favorite activity is hanging onto Daddy's beard.  It's funny, but when he cries it sounds just like he's saying Mama. Speaking of being social, we've discovered two of Cooper's favorite things- music and reading.  He bounces along and gets so excited when Ceirnan sings to him or plays the kiddie CD player.  CJ found Cooper's favorite book, Global Babies.  Cooper coos to the...

Fall Fun

Did summer really happen? Has it really been 3 1/2months since I lasted posted? We cannot believe how fast it has gone. Moving just takes a lot out of us especially now that we have two. Time seems to march by more and more quickly. I try desperately to soak up every available minute I can because the kids are growing and changing so much. Most of you know that we decided to have CJ go to Pre -K this year. He loves it and is doing so well. Each night we do homework from workbooks that Aunt Cece sent. Just like his Mama, CJ begs for extra homework- particularly Math. He loves addition, puzzles, and mazes. It will be interesting to see if that stays with him as he grows. He is slowly starting to read on his own. I haven't been challenging him as much as I probably should since he's not in kindergarten yet. He's such a funny boy who likes to tell jokes. He's an avid runner and did great in his running club this Fall. Ceirnan is amazing. Just amazing. People who don'...

Hello from Philly

Hello and Happy Holidays from the City of Brotherly Love! Its almost New Year's resolution time and one of mine is to maintain a blog for all our of friends and family who don't get to see our little guy on a daily basis (and for those of you that do too). CJ is ready for Christmas- although Santa is not his favorite as you can see. I'm not sure who is worse at peeking at packages though, CJ or Casey. We were too excited to wait so we've had a Christmas tree up since the weekend after Thanksgiving. We kept the unbreakable ornaments on the lower part of the tree, which has been good since he likes to take them off and throw them to his daddy. He's so smart and observant. I'm just amazed by him. He loves to learn and seems (to me) to be very mechanically minded since he can unscrew or take apart anything you put in front of him. He has an infectious grin and a laugh that reminds you what living is about. He likes to talk all time and he LOVES to dance. He's ju...
