After 2 month hiatus we're back on Blogger - Thanksgiving, Christmas and a New Year's trip to Boston have all come and gone and Valentine's day is upon us. I'll post a few summary photos here - but as of today Eamonn is 2 weeks shy of 22 months old and is SO MUCH FUN!!! A switch turned on a few days into 2009 and he hasn't stopped talking since then - lately he is trying to form sentences, and is now very interested in concepts (e.g. things that are the same [color or object]; things that are attached).
It is pretty amazing - now that he is talking we realize all of which he is aware and understands. Fire trucks and trash trucks remain high on his list of favorite things. Last week I came home from work wearing a red sweater - he saw me, ran into the kitchen, grabbed a red cup from his cupboard, and then held it up to my shoulder saying "red - same." So cool!!!! All in all, Eamonn leads a pretty nice life. Martha adores him and he adores Martha; she takes him out 2-3 mornings a week. His grandmother also gets him out and about on Fridays, and then I try to have a "Thursday-FUN Day" with him (sometimes going to the store is fun). Eamonn is surrounded by people who love him - both near and far - and he remains a sweet, sensitive and very observant little boy. His parents hearts are overflowing! Life is good indeed.
For Thanksgiving we had a nice visit from Aunts Fidge and Robin.
We spent Thanksgiving weekend at the ranch picking apples and Eamonn looooooooved it.
We spent Christmas again at the ranch - this time with cousin Ava and lots more fun outdoors.
And we ended 2008 in Boston with a foot of snow! Needless to say, Eamonn did not like the cold, but he had a great time with the relatives there.
