February

What? We're ending February and I didn't post at all this month. Sorry. I think we had a chance to touch base with most of you though. I'm at work and don't have a pic handy. However, I will give you all a brief updated on our star.

CJ started music class two weeks ago and seems to be enjoying it. He never wants to leave at the end even though he likes to take 2 potty breaks while class is happening. He likes the songs, but is pretty shy around the other kids.

Speaking of potty training, our kid is a pro. We still have a few slip-ups now and then, but in general he's good to go. The funny part is we never have problems when we are out in public. We have problems when we don't want to stop watching Max and Ruby or some other funny cartoon.

He's a riot. The more he talks, the funnier he becomes. The other morning he informed me that Rice Krispies are too sugary for little boys. He's just growing and changing so fast, we seem to blink and he's changed again. Today he mastered pedaling on the tricycle. Normally, he just pushes himself along because it's easier.

Casey is back to school. (Delaware starts at the beginning of February). Life is not that much different as now he's gone three nights a week instead of me. However, we live so close we are all enjoying our time together. CJ can't get enough of Mama and Daddy time.

For all of you who know us well and know the way that Casey and I banter back and forth, you will also be happy to know that CJ has taken it upon himself to say what many of you have probably wanted to say for years. STOP! Every time Case and I start discussing anything that sounds like a debate (whether its politics or groceries), CJ pipes up with STOP! and puts his hand up. It's really funny!

That's it for now. I'll try to get some pics up soon.

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...
