Down on the farm

Today, we went to visit a farm that we used to visit when I was young. The boys had a wonderful time - we will have to go back! Here are some pics as well as a few random ones from yesterday :-)

Arrived

Well,Eoin and I arrived in Ireland safe and sound. The flights went better than I expected although they were still very long and we were exhausted. Eoin is having a great time showing off and getting lots of attention. We thought we wore him out when he went to bed last night. Then at about midnight he woke up WIDE awake! Sandra (my sister) took him downstairs to play for a while and then he talked himself to sleep later. We got up at ten this morning - sooo nice! It was a beautiful day today and we spent most of it in the back yard with my cousins running around :-) Hopefully Eoin will make it through the night tonight. He was totally worn out when I put him down. Here are some pics off our trip so far -

New Video

We were running around yesterday playing chasing with Eóin. Here is a quick vid of a funny run in with daddy.

15 months!

Yesterday we went to the doctor for Eóin's 15 month check-up. It was not fun :-) The doctor didn't even have to touch him before he started screaming. Mind you he was sick but I thought it was kind of funny that the doctor tried to distract Eóin by turning on his little light and as soon as he did Eóin let out a blood curdling scream - like you can't trick me mister!

Besides having a little viral infection he's been down with this week he is doing well. He is in the 30% percentile for weight (which if anyone saw how much he eats they would be shocked that this is so low!), 60% for height and 75% for brain size (fat head :-)

He is really turning into a character. Hasn't picked up too many new words lately, in fact he seems to have forgotten half the ones he used to say! He does however say "Jesus" when I ask him who is on the front of his Bible - so cute. Funny he can recognize Jesus and still won't call me mamma! He laughs every time we get him to say it - stinker.

He understands most things I tell him during the day. He goes to his room when I say we need to change his diaper, and RUNS to the kitchen when I mention lunch or snack :-) He runs the fastest when daddy asks if he wants a bath. I need to get that one on video. It's so funny! He still loves to help me with EVERYTHING I do. He puts daddy's stinky socks in the laundry basket in the morning (although once he threw them in the trash), he loves to sweep up and his favorite thing to do is help with dinner - especially stirring!

There is never a dull moment around here these days :-) I posted some pics on my facebook account so if you haven't seen them, I put links to my photo albums below.

That's all the news around here for now :-)

Story Time

Eóin LOVES reading. Lately he has been reading to himself too. Took me a while to get it on camera though. Enjoy :-)
