2 Months Old!

Well a few days ago I turned 2 months old and what a busy time it's been! After all my doctors and hospital visits I have been given a clean bill of health and I look forward to October when I don't have to go see any doctors until the 30th for my first big operation. Until then I am going to enjoy my time at home.

As we all know the Rugby World Cup is on. This photo was taken during Ireland's opening match against Namibia. It was a bit too close for comfort and I was on the edge of my seat / bouncy chair for the whole game!


My Auntie Gillian came over from Canada to visit me for the first time with Mike, Steve and Keith. It was very exciting. Some nights mum and dad went out and left me with Gill which was nice. Although whenever they got back they seemed slightly giddy and bleary eyed, I'm still trying to figure out where they went.

After hassling my dad for the last month he finally told me that my new "Blog Space" had arrived and I could get going as soon as he set it up.

Eventually he set it up and I got going. It took me a while to perfect the combination of Aperture and Photoshop and master the art of JPEG optimisation for the web (hence the delay in updating my Blog).

One weekend I went over to my Grandparents and had a big lunch. My cousin Keith got to hold me for the first time which was great and I finally got to meet Uncle Alan, Fiona, Michael and Nicholas. It was a great fun!

I had to spend almost 20 mins being burped by Gill after all the Lasagna I had. It was too yummy to stop eating!

Me and all the boys and I!

Uncle Alan was probably the most comfy person that's held me so far! He's so warm and cuddly it was great to finally meet him. Can't wait to visit London and stay there.

Another weekend we went to visit Una in Dalkey and I got to go for my first walk on Killiney Hill. Can't wait to live in Dalkey. Wish mum and dad would just buy a nice big house for me there!

Ireland v Argentina has just finished and so we are out of the world Cup. Not impressed. Dad seems very disappointed and I think he is going to get bleary eyed to forget about it. Looks like fun that!

A day in the life...

Well I have been very busy lately and so I haven't had much time to update the blog. To give you an idea of how busy I am, I thought I would show you how my day normally goes...


Having slept well the night before I wake up in my new giant cot...

Dad heads off to work and then mum gives me my breakfast. It's my favourite meal of the day. 

Nearly every day I have visitors. I got to meet my cousins for the first time the other day. Tim, Jack and Neil popped around and brought me a new teddy each. Luckily my bed is big enough!! It was nice to see them even though they are smelly boys!

Dad eventually gets home for work and generally spends the rest of the evening being very silly and trying on my clothes. He can't even fit into his clothes so I don't know what he's doing...

I've started visiting my friends. It was nice to see Hazel and Jan again. I wish I had her hair. It's so funky.

Ev and Bella dropped around and I got to meet Bella for the first time. She brought me some really cool bibs. Will post some pics soon.

Whenever I feel tired I try and go for a mid afternoon nap. Sometimes I let mum and dad get into my bed for a nap too if they have been well behaved. Which isn't very often...

One of my favourite times is when I get my nappy changed. For some reason I find it really comfy and as an added bonus mum always massages my feet afterwards.

So that brings you up to date with whats happening. I'm getting bigger everyday and don't fit into my newborn clothes anymore. My teddy collection is growing and are all my clothes. I'm going to need a walk in wardrobe soon to keep it all. Thanks again to everyone for everything. Will be in touch soon.
