Growing Up




I can't believe how fast the time flies. CJ will be four in less than two months. Ceirnan will be 6 months old in twelve days. How fast time is going. I just want to wrap them up and keep them small for just awhile longer. It's exciting to see all the changes though. CJ is just so smart and he keeps getting smarter everyday. He's funny and his classmates just love him. He's so kindhearted and sensitive. In the picture above, he's wearing his birthday crown for school. Since he has a summer birthday, he celebrated last week by bringing in cookie bars. He was very proud of himself. Needless to say, this has prompted birthday fever in the house as he begins to plan his Mickey party and comb the catalog for present ideas.

Ceirnan had another big moment this week. She began eating cereal for the first time. She was extremely excited and wanted to use the spoon herself. She spent the whole day giggling and looking proud of herself. She absolutely loved it. She also figured out how to make herself swing in her swing without us turning it on. She leans forward and falls back just like you would on a real swing. She made herself go so high the other day that Casey had to stop it. It's amazing. She wants to be just like her older brother.

Speaking of the two of them...they enjoy each other so much. At nighttime, I usually bring them both in to read books, but it's getting to where I have to have Casey come and get Ceirnan. They giggle too much. I can't get them settled down because they are pushing on each other's feet and laughing. Ceirnan is the real culprit. She wants to be touching CJ at all times. It's cute, but not conducive to falling asleep.

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...

Mystic, CT

We had a great time in Mystic, CT last weekend for Father's Day. We spent Saturday at the Mystic Seaport, a little reanactment community right on the water. We even got to see a replica of the Amistad (the original was either scrapped or sunk). That part was neat, but very sad to see the conditions those men endured. CJ loved the water and kept trying to walk onto all the boats he saw (even the yachts that had just docked for lunch). He really enjoyed driving the ship. We then had lunch at a great little inn right on the water- Seaman's Inn. It was wonderful. On Sunday we went to Mystic Aquarium. CJ really loved it. His favorite was the buluga whales as you can see from the picture. He laughed and oohed and ahhed. It was a great weekend. Now we are just gearing up for our trip to Kansas City and for his birthday in a few weeks. Daddy is going on a guy's camp weekend next weekend with Uncle Sami so CJ and I are planning a trip to the zoo. We'll put up more pics then.

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...
