Happy 2nd Birthday Eamon!
And a very special Happy Birthday to Grandpa Brady, too!
2 years old. Can you believe it?! Here is the birthday present bonanza:
2 years old. Can you believe it?! Here is the birthday present bonanza:
One of his favorites - farm animals! This was a huge hit.
Getting excited
"Mommy!! THIS!"
Playing with Uncle Chris
The present that Jack picked out. A new motorcycle.
Showing off Aunt Shug's gift - new eating set from his favorite book The Very Hungry Caterpillar
holding up the cups so we all can see
Jack loves the barn, too. Eamon likes to stash snacks in the silo so he can find them the next day.
Notice how Jack has a flashlight tucked into his pants? He's ready to work.
Playing with the flannel/felt board that I made him.
Kicking his feet and pouting a bit because I wouldn't let him touch the fire.
He learned how to blow out candles from a Curious George book.
I made beet cupcakes but after tasting them while still warm I promptly decided they were disgusting. Actually, the next day after being completely cooled, they were pretty good. It's a riff on Red Velvet cupcakes. Mimi saved my butt and picked out some regular cupcakes from the store for me.

Who me?
Then to cap the weekend, we went to PlayPlus where they were having a Pirate Party demonstration that we were invited. too. Of course, party animal E-dog fell asleep on the way there and no amount of shaking, kids screaming, or softly whispering the word "cake" into his ear would wake him up.
Jack immediately went to work by putting on his standard costume: a princess dress and shoes. Here he is seeing the pirate for the first time... and hiding from him.
"Hi, Pirate!"
Still not waking up......
Jack saw plates and balloons... he put two and two together: CAKE
The pirate made him a pink sword as a compromise. Jack really wanted the flower instead of the sword, but the pirate just couldn't bring himself to do it. Oh well, the stabbing and slicing motions were quickly discovered and flaunted all over the room.
"arrgghh!"
ANNNND ........ he's up. CAKE!
Smacking Daddy with his sword.
Pirate noises
And then some playing in the puddles before bath and night-night time.
Happy Birthday Sweet Boy! WE LOVE YOU

Don't be mad at me
I had to do it. The dreadlocks on the back of his head were getting too difficult to manage. He wouldn't let me brush his hair either so it generally looked like a small beach mouse made its nest on the back of his head each evening.
I'm not saying its pretty... all I'm saying is that it was free. I did have to pay 2 lollipops and a few drops of my blood from a misstep or two with the scissors
He has my hair EXACTLY. Wavy/curly in all the wrong places. Really thick hair in the back and super thin and straight hair on top.
That's purple marker on his face. He likes to get creative with his coloring... like the table, the chair, window sill, each arm, each cheek, and a few marks on the tile floor just for good measure.
Excuse me, sir, would you like a spot o' tea??
Stank face in the bath. Yes, he's eating a lollipop in the bath. The kid can make a lollipop last an obscene amount of time. And I bet you would really like to eat a lollipop in the bath one day, wouldn't you? .... Me neither.
Not too shabby!
Jack also got a haircut but since his was so short to begin with, it was easier for me to cut it.
Cheeeese!

Random pics from my phone
These are pictures that I took with my phone and were probably uploaded to Facebook.. so if they seem familiar this is why. These are from July to present.
At the beach in NC. This was the first time they saw each other after a week apart. This is one of my favorite pictures of all time.

This is a really cool app called DoodleCam. It makes pictures look like drawings.
Hi Grandpa Brady!
Jack's first time with his nails painted... Thanks Mary Elizabeth <3
Matt and I in Denver for a wedding.
Playing outside on the driveway with homemade sidewalk paint - equal parts cornstarch & water with food coloring. I usually do it in 1/2 cup portions. It dries like chalk.
Since this summer he has given up regular naps. Sometimes he's so tired he falls asleep as he's getting out of the bath. No clothes, still wet, just lays on my chest and falls asleep.... usually after an epic screaming fit though. Fun times.
Eamon's first haircut! Mommy gave it to him. There ain't nothing you can't learn from YouTube. Further explanation of this picture: That's a hose nozzle that was covered in dirt that he put in his mouth.
"Safety first!"
Jack loves dress-up. He plays a lot of it at school and we have a couple of costumes at home. His favorite is the doctor.
Matt during the hurricane that skirted the coast. The waves came all the way up to the dock!
Fell asleep after a beach morning.
Really digging his work.
Yard baby
I went into the kitchen and came out 3 minutes later to find this. I didn't realize Winnie the Pooh was THAT boring.
My brother took this photo just this week. He was watching the boys while I was resting to recover from a cold. Eamon and Steve are picking Jack up from school. How cute is this?!?
