No More Baby


CJ has grown so much lately. It shocks me to see that sweet baby face growing into a little boy. He continues to be hilarious and has his father's sense of humor. He's serious like his mother though and hasn't lost that sweet sensitivity he's always shown. He thinks he's a big boy now and likes the idea of it except when it comes to snuggling with Mama. I imagine he'll always be a snuggly boy. He's a climber and can scamper up the rock walls at the park faster than we can turn around. He also likes standing on his head or partially. He's always stretching out. Its funny to watch him. He seems to add new words everyday and every once in awhile he'll completely suprise us with a new phrase. At this point, his favorite phrase is "I want (insert newest noun here). Casey is ready to kill me because I kept calling one of the pictures of cookies in CJ's book a kumkwat because I didn't realize they were cookies. Now its one of CJ's favorite words. Even still he's a quiet and thoughtfull little boy and extremely poliet. He almost always remembers to say please (peas). Perhaps the thing I find most endearing is his love of singing. Mama and CJ sing Sesame Street songs in the car. One day Casey started laughing and told me that CJ sings them during the day to himself while he plays too. He's such a great kid. The pic shows his favorite way to sit. He can sit like for an hour while watching Sesame Street.

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'...

Then There Were Three

After a two year hiatus, we are going to try and keep up with this blog again.  We hope you will enjoy reading about some of our adventures again and sharing in our joys and sorrows. We are adjusting to life with three little ones.  Of course, CJ's not really little anymore and Ceirnan has grown up so much, too.  Cooper is doing great.  He's gaining weight and really starting to recognize the faces around him.   CJ and Ceirnan love being older siblings and are such great helpers for Casey and I.  Summer is moving by quickly so we're just trying to have as much fun and family time as possible.  Casey and I just feel so blessed to have these amazing children in our lives. Life is not always easy, but we are some of the lucky ones. For now, here are some recent pictures of the kids.
