We're Back!


Hello all! We're back to blogging. We took a short break while trying to adjust to our new two child home. Then we had some major issues with the computer. Anyway, we are back. Things here are going well. As you can see by the pictures, we have two healthy and happy kids. Life couldn't be sweeter. Okay...maybe a little more sleep would make it sweeter. I can't begin to try and catch up on everything that has happened in the last month. It's been a whirlwind.

The above picture of CJ was taken during his holiday party at school. He loves preschool and was really bummed during winter break because it wasn't open. He was so excited to go back on January 4th. They are very good to him and even put up a sign on the bulletin board in the hall announcing that he is now a big brother. He felt very important. Speaking of brotherhood, CJ just loves being a brother. He spends all day wanting to kiss and hug Ceirnan and he shows her off everywhere we go.

Ceirnan is doing well. She is a great baby. Very rarely cries, but she still has her days and nights mixed up. Her first month check-up went great. She grew an inch and gained about three lbs. since coming home. When she came home she was 6lbs 6oz. The picture above shows her splint that has been on since mid-December. It turns out on top of the skin condition, she also had a radial dislocation. We just feel very grateful that we have some of the top doctors in the country working with her. The last time we went to OT, it looked like the dislocation is healing. We go back to Dr. Chang for a check on Jan. 19. Dr. Shah saw Ceirnan for her skin issues last week and I am happy to report she has healed up. The next step after the dislocation has been taken care of is to set up some physical therapy for her hand and arm. We're excited though that she is healing so well. She is just such a sweet little baby.

The first picture is of CJ and Ceirnan on Christmas morning. We had a great day just soaking up family time and watching CJ enjoy the wonders of Christmas. He was really excited and enjoyed the whole magical season. It was so nice to watch him and realize how much he has grown.

I have so much more to report, but will have to leave it at this for now. To read more about Ceirnan's birth story and more updates on my thoughts about parenting you can check out www.courtcase1.blogspot.com.

P.S. Casey finished his semester strong and is taking a well needed break during winter session!

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'...

Big Kids

  Ceirnan in her favorite outfit outside the ballet studio- leotard and overalls.  Someone is all ready to head off to Stephens.    CJ looking cool for school.  Ceirnan,who believes jutting your hip out is the coolest thing ever. Where did my babies go?  It's so hard to believe how big they are and how much they have grown in the last year.  Ceirnan is sprouting like a weed and towers over most her own age.  CJ doesn't have the height, but he is about the most mature young man I've ever met.  They are both so bright and excited to learn.  It makes me so happy seeing them together.  Typically, they share, they are polite to each other and they never make it through the day without at least two or three hugs and kisses for each other.  It makes my heart melt to see how much they truly enjoy spending time together.  Do not get me wrong- Ceirnan is too bossy for CJ and one of CJ's favorite phrases (which we h...
