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...

Update

No major news to update. We're all on pins and needles waiting for the baby to arrive. At this point, it looks like we will definitely have a little one sometime next week if not earlier. Today is my last day of work. I'm definitely ready as I am starting to need more rest and am feeling some major shifting in the baby. Last night Pop Pop arrived though so it definitely brought some excitement to the house. CJ was showered with gifts from Aunt Cherie and Aunt CeCe, which he has been certain to remind us are the gifts for big brothers! He is getting excited at the thought that the baby is coming home soon. Of course, he's even more excited that Pop Pop is here for a long time and that his Nana and Grandma will be out soon too. We will try to keep you all updated when things start progressing. Just wish us luck!

Spring

Newest update. We're all upside. No, things are going okay. Casey and CJ seem to be doing well together. They are quite the little travelers and come out on the train twice a week to meet Mommy. CJ is missing his Grandma Dee and his Uncle Johnny though. When he gets in the care he often goes Dee...Dee...Dee... Hopefully, we'll head over there this weekend. The picture was taken by Laurie at Grandma Dee's house. He is doing great though. He's talking a lot more and he loves to dance. He's got some great moves too. I'll try to catch some thing weekend and post the pictures. He loves Sesame Street and will give you the evil eye if you interrupt him. What else? Mommy is madly trying to finish up her semester and is dreading summer classes. However, she is quite excited that she will be finished in December. CJ is too. He's taken to being really mad at Mommy being gone during the day. It seems like it made sense that both Mama and Daddy were gon...
