Silly boy!

Oh, Eoin!
You are always entertaining us with your antics! Ripping paper is so amusing...to you! You love to snatch daddy's newspaper and then rip it into long strips. You also like to rip up wipies and put them into a pile after you have "cleaned up" your spot at the table. Sometimes you even use your teeth to rip the paper.

You are becoming more and more of an imp! You know exactly what is off limits and what you are not to touch but, it is a thrill to push the limits! You love to pull the cords out of the computers, reach for our drinks on the end tables and play with the outlets! The best part is that you are so cute when you are caught, tipping your head to the side and then smiling and shrieking in delight that you were caught red-handed! Then, it is so hard to not scoop you up and tickle you -so most of the time that is what we do.

Daddy, Grandma, Grammie and I are keeping track of all the new words and sounds that you are making. Grandma taught you how to do a fish face reading the book "Brown Bear, Brown Bear" for the goldfish picture. You will imitate that face as well as smack your lips. When something is heavy you grunt and make this strained face. You asked for a banana by pointing and saying "nana"! Daddy was so excited to tell me, then you did it again for me.

You have taken a liking to your lambies! You drag the big lamb out of the bassinet and carry it around, though it is pretty heavy for you to carry! When you are tired you will snuggle with it. I put the baby lambie on my shoulder and you will cuddle with us. Auntie Nellie brought them over from England with her and they were in your bassinet at Mama's baby shower. You also love to look at the nakie picture of you with your lambies that is hanging in your room on the wall.

We have been going through your closet and there is so much "baby" stuff that we have to now pack away; your swing (Our life saver for some rest for all of us. We dragged it on many of our trips to Harrisburg. Daddy and I reminisce when you are having a rough night, wishing you could still fit into it!) your mobiles, Gdiapers (best laid plans-I think we saved some space in the landfill but, still not a perfect system), Baby Bjorn, bouncy seat, your Chicco restaurant seat (the most complimented piece of baby equipment that we had- servers loved it and so did we! You could sit right at the table with us. Now you are too heavy and we have to use the restaurant high chairs), my pump, Medela bottles and My Breast friend pillow. Grammie has been helping Mama wash and pack everything away. It is sad to admit that you are not an infant anymore but you are still a baby, just with a little toddler mixed in.
