Nora at 11 months

 
 
 

Fallin' for Fall

 
 
 

Today may be dark and gloomy, but we've had some really great weather this month. Last weekend, we spent an hour at the park where Eamon practiced his soccer skills and Nora served as a cheerleader. Pretty soon, she'll be out there kicking along with him!

Pops!

 
 
 

I've discovered the joys of making cake pops. My first attempt was ill-fated (footballs for E's birthday), but the second go-round was much better. Here's a centerpiece I did for a friend's baby shower. They're a bit time consuming to put together, but look so much better than anything I could do with an actual cake--and they taste ahhhmazing.

En-tah-tainment by Eamon

As you know, Eamon is quite the singer. He loves belting songs out, especially in the bath tub. The other day, I heard him singing his own version of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," which I guess he picked up from seeing the "Lion King" (I took him on a date last Friday to the movies). I grabbed my camera to catch him, but he then decided to burst into another song from the movie. He now loves being filmed and has choreographed his own dance moves for it. :-)

Here are some clips from the other night.

 

 

Who are these big kids and what happened to my babies?!

Hitting the Patch

 

 

 

 

 

 

Despite the fact that the temps loomed in the mid-80's, we made our traditional trek to the Pumpkin Patch on Monday with our good friends A,C, A & O. We ventured out to Demarest Farm, a great spot with a ton of fun stuff--hay rides, corn maze, great food, and of course, lots of pumpkins. Getting excited for Halloween!

Just around the corner...

Hard to believe that Nora's first birthday is just a bit over one month away! We'll have a few celebrations, I'm sure, but the big par-tay will be in Maryland this year after Thanksgiving. With so many cousins and friends around, we figured it's best to have it where we can maximize our guest list. Here's a peek at what's to come!

Buddies!

 

 

 

 

 

I love watching the relationship between Nora and Eamon develop and grow. They make eachother giggle constantly and are getting better at playing together--I can only imagine in a few years what I'll be up against when the two of them truly join forces!
