Eamail...

Eamon had his 1 year appointment today and passed with flying colors. He is 21 lbs and 2 oz, 29 1/2 inches tall and has a lot of brains in his head. Aside from keeping us busy chasing after him he has become very good at pointing at things he wants, making truck noises while he pushes them around and cruising around on his feet while holding onto the furniture.

Eamon turns 1!!!!!

On July 18th we celebrated Eamon's first birthday with family and friends. He had a great time and fully enjoyed his first bites of cake. Unlike his big brother, Myles, Eamon didn't cry when everyone started singing.

Recently, Kirk and I took the boys up to Kirk's camp in Waldoboro, ME for a couple of days. We were joined by Kirk's cousin Matt and his family.

StoryLand and Hampton Inn Water Park

This July Kirk and I took the boys to North Conway for an overnight. We drove up on Monday morning and headed straight to StoryLand. Myles was beyond excited! He couldn't wait to check out all of the fun stuff they had. His first stop was the antique cars where he practiced his driving skills. Then it was off to the ball pit where he buried himself in little plastic balls.
Kirk and Myles then went on the spinning tea cups and followed that with some fun in the Loopy Lab. After taking a break under the big tent where we watched the circus, Myles took all of us for a spin on the tractors.
We wrapped it up at StoryLand and headed to dinner and the hotel. After checking in, we headed out to play a round of mini golf where Myles got a hole in one on the first hole.
The next morning, we headed downstairs for breakfast where Eamon got a birthday song and muffin from the woman working there. After, we changed into our suits and headed to the hotels indoor water park. Myles and Eamon had a blast playing in the kiddie pool and going down the slides. Kirk and I took turns going down the adult slides which were incredibly fast.

Today Myles and Eamon went on a garden tour in Portsmouth with Baampah (my dad), Dramma (my mom), Mimi (Kirk's mom) and me. Both boys enjoyed looking at all of the pretty flowers. Myles also loved the houses with the water features and live entertainment. There was one house in particular that he found the most fun because it had a little house for kids worked into the garden. However, when asked what his favorite part of the whole day was his reply was the sprinkle cookies that were served throughout the tour.
