Brind'Amour can hold onto things now. And shake them.

So much to be thankful for...

Brind'Amour Dances to the Classics:



He is so much fun!

For Grandma A:

He looks so cute in the outfit you made him!

13 Pounds of Love.

The boy had his 2 month check up today and is 13lbs 8oz of pure adorableness. He's in the 95th percentile for height and weight and has graduated to the 75th percentile for head circumference. He's meeting his developmental milestones and the doctor was pleased with what he saw...he's a healthy little guy. He also got his first shots today, poor thing. Ted and I were both able to be there today so we held his little hands and talked to him as the nurse stabbed him with needles that went "to the bone" per Ted's recollection. The little guy cried but took it all like a champ and was back to his old smiley self shortly after.

I can't believe how fast time goes and how big our little boy is getting:




Grandma W. is in town for two weeks and they are having a blast together! It's been gorgeous down here this week so they've been able to take walks and hang out in the yard. He's getting more and more animated these days and is really loving it when you talk and sing to him. It's a riot.

Last but not least, a preview of how adorable holiday pictures are going to be:


Gotta love this kid...

Our Little Caterpillar

Brind'Amour was a caterpillar for about 5 minutes last night. He was NOT diggin' on his costume, much to my dismay. But it's a good lesson in parenting...Halloween isn't always going to go as you had it in your mind...but it will be fun regardless.






We had to go with our back up "festive" outfit instead:


Ted's Dad and Step-Mom are in town this weekend and we all hit a hockey game today-Brind'Amour's second! He's getting so big and can hold his head up so well these days...it was much different than his first game when he was just a month old. He loved sitting on our laps and watching the lights this time...

Happy Fall!



Love,

Eilis, Ted, and Brind'Amour

Giant 8 Week Old Baby

Grandma B.

Thanks to Maggie for spending two weeks with us and watching the boy while I transitioned back to work. They've been two peas in a pod...

Parenting.

Ted's Step-Mom Maggie is in town watching the boy while we work and she still can't get over seeing Ted as a Dad. We've been documenting a bit to show his father, 'cause apparently he won't believe it either.

First Wedding Anniversary

Teddy and I were married one year yesterday! We celebrated by having a nice dinner at The Melting Pot, which is where Ted proposed. It was a great evening...and we both had chocolate fondue for the first time, which rocked our worlds. It's been a wonderful first year...


The Threesome

My Love and I

A shout out to Geri for saving the cake for us in her freezer all year!

Enjoying some wedding cake...it was actually really good still!

Back To Work.

I'm back at work today and thinking of the wee one. I took two pictures of him last night to print out and bring to work, but then I forgot to print them. So I'll post them so I can look at him. I miss him, but it's good to be back at work and using my brain. Thanks again to Grandma B for coming to town to watch him!

Making Up For Slacking.

As The Boy is getting bigger he spends less time sleeping during the day and I haven't been posting as regularly...but today I'm making up for it with some extra posts. Enjoy!

Diary of a Snuggler.

Ted's family was in town this weekend and Brind'Amour was in snuggle heaven. As you'll see, he slept most of the weekend and was quite content! Thanks to Grandma Pam, Great Grandma Norma, and Great Aunt Patti for coming to visit and keeping the boy occupied!
