After finally uploading all of our Christmas-time photos I realized we really didn't take that many. We've been so bad about taking photos when family is here. I assume it's just because so much is going on, but this really is the time to take them. I did not get one photo of my mom, Rooney w/my mom, Kristi, Andy, Dan & Kim. Well I guess their feet are in alot of photos. Anyway I'll like our Christmas and Christmas Eve photos here. If you have any photos you'd like to contribute I'll add those to the sets.
Besides Christmas, car break-in's and new houses there have been some other exciting things going on...specifically with Rooney. Over the last few days Rooney has really increased his communication. He has started to let us know he wants specific things by pointing and saying "Eh, eh". So that might not be "exciting" but it can be very helpful and frustrating at the same time. Not only has he started pointing for what he wants but he has also started to shake his head to let us know when he doesn't want something. I have found this new move very helpful. Now I can ask him 'Do you want...?" and he can clearly answer me! So nice.
He has also picked up some new verbal communication. He has started saying "Hi" to everyone and everything. I think it is so cute when he bends down and says "Hi" to the dogs. Just yesterday I noticed that he is starting to say "this", as if he's saying "What's this?". Finally, he has started to grab my finger and lead me to where he wants to go. I think this is very sweet...right now. I've had a lot of experience, through my nieces and nephew, with this little maneuver. It's cute now but can become really annoying soon because he'll have me up every 2 seconds to look at every piece of lint on the carpet.
I'm going to have to brush up on my distraction techniques.
One last little development that is in the works...I'm getting Rooney off the bottle. This is something I've been kind of trying to do, but not really, for awhile. I just decided this weekend to just stop giving him the bottle and use a cup this weekend.
So far, so good.
At 26 weeks pregnant I started this blog for my son Rooney. The plan was to document feelings, body changes and eventually to share pictures of our son with friends and family. 4 years later, with the addition of Rooney's little sister, Ailbe, we are now sharing the lives of our 2 kiddos. I'm not sure how long this blog will go on for but as long as people are reading we'll keep posting.

I really like when he says "hi" to inanimate objects. He is sure a sweetie! It was a good visit, lots of baby time.
