School Picnic







This week CJ's school had a family day in the park. It turns out CJ is quite the little ladies man. If you look closely above, CJ and Bella are walking together to the slide. The top photo is CJ and all the girls. It was fun to see him there interacting with his peers. He has made a good friend named Nick that he loves to play with. The two of them are hilarious. Bella is a favorite as are Avery, Brooke, Noah, and Gabe. Truth be told, I don't think CJ has ever met a child he doesn't like.

Cerinan came with us too and had a good time watching the big kids play. She keeps hitting milestones and it's hard to believe how fast she is growing. She began rolling both ways this week and is scooting on her belly a bit. She started holding her own bottle for part of her feeding this week too. She definitely thinks she is a big girl now.

We had a picnic and watched the kids play. On the way home, we ran into a local creamery and stopped for ice cream. We could not have asked for a better day! I am really glad we chose this preschool because it has been wonderful for CJ.

Last night the kids and I walked down to Main Street for the Thursday night concert series. CJ had so much fun running around with all of the other kids. The music was mellow and the weather was beautiful. It was definitely worth the walk. Afterward, we walked over and met Daddy outside of his class for a family walk home.

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...

Getting Ready for Baby

What a difference getting ready for a second baby is compared to the first. With CJ, we had things bought, washed, and put away 3-4 months before he was set to arrive. We had the nursery together and way too many things we would find out we really didn't need. This time around we're in week 37 and we just realized that I really could deliver any day now so we probably should at least pull out the car seat. We're not going with a crib as we tend to be co-sleepers plus there is not a lot of room in our bedroom. We got out the pack-n-play and added the bassinet function. It might get more use than with CJ who always slept with us just due to the fact that I expect CJ will want to climb into the bed too (at least at first). We have his old crib mattress ready to lay down on our floor in a ploy to keep him involved in a way that avoids 4 bodies in the bed. We had a few outfits for the baby that we bought along the way, but had not yet gone through CJ's old clothes. We finall...

Halloween Update

What a great Halloween! CJ had a wonderful time trick or treating and visiting with Aunt Cece and Uncle Nick. The pictures above show the three day fun. Thursday we went to the pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins and get some apples. CJ had a great time playing on all the fun wooden equipment. Trick or treating was definitely quiet here in Newark. As you can see from the photo CJ was a fireman and Daddy was a fire truck. It was quite funny. There were not that many kids trick-or-treating around our neighborhood. It really made me sad to see such an awesome community event begin to disappear. Maybe it's just where we are though. Anyway, CJ still had fun and got lots of candy because people were trying hard to give it away. He walked over to Uncle Sami and Aunt Vicky's house and received extra special treats that he was very proud of and excited to eat. The evening was gloomy and wet, which was just spooky enough to be fun. The rest of the weekend went great too. CJ...
