Guess Who's 3 Months Old?

Sweet little Eamon 3 months old already! No drs appointment this month but I think it's safe to guess he's at least 12 pounds. I put a 0-3 month sleeper on him & the poor guy had trouble straightening his legs! I'm not used to my kids wearing their "true size". I think Caileigh was in 0-3 for 6 months!

Well Eamon is just a cute smiley happy boy. Living his sister- but maybe not so much when they get in his face with their high pitched "hiiiiii Eamon" but still he smiles! Don't get me wrong because he's still a screamer too especially when he is tired or hungry but mostly happy. And he's a sleeper (thank you kind Lord)! Most nights he's ready by 7:30 & doesn't get up until 5 or 6! I know! Amazing! Hopefully that will help when the dreaded teeth start to poke through.

So that's the update in sweet Eamon - pictures soon!

Back to work

Well life as we know it changed again as I go back to work (for the last time!). I've been practicing getting out of the house by 8 or so and today went ok if you don't count Keira waking up with a croup cough, crying b/c she didn't want to get out of her crib, tripping on the sidewalk and then crying because she wanted to get into the car on "Eamon's side" (and I had all my work stuff blocking the floor so no go). Aside from all that it went great!
We'll see how the rest of the week goes, hopefully smooth as we all get used to our new routine!

Posted lots of videos from our little Pep Squad show yesterday! You'll see in one of the videos Keira disappears to get her white shoes like Caileigh (which I put in the shelf in her closet that I didn't think she could reach) but she gets them!

I hope it has been a smooth week! :)

Pep Squad debut

Well today was the Knights first football game for the Pep Squad and even though Caileigh knew all the cheers she was reluctant to go out with the girls and cheer. Finally Aunt Kelly walked her out to do the halftime show but then ended up getting stuck doing the moves herself! Oh well - maybe next game!

Eamon is a cute smiley boy - what a difference from a month or so ago! Sure he still screams at the top of his lungs but most of the time just eats (and eats!), sleeps and smiles! Plus he is sleeping so well at night (I hate to even type this) so I can't complain about the cat napping during the day. And even the girls have been sleeping in their own beds the past few days (collecting their $.25 every morning from dad) so the Duffy house is quiet at night again!

Oh. My. Gosh! Your Pep Squad is the most adorable pep squad ever. Hey Fans... SO CUTE!!! I love all your Sept photos too. :)

Happy Baptism Day!

What a special day for Eamon Michael! The newest member of the church wearing his christening dress that his Grandma Burke bought him in Ireland (and all his cousins wore) and his Croatian booties. He did wonderful, not a peep (which shocked all of us!). He was the best of all three kids at their baptism. Father Joe Mele was kind enough to baptize Eamon as he did the girls and it was great to see him. Aunt Molly & Uncle Joe were wonderful godparents!

We had a nice lunch at the house & the weather cooperated wonderfully. Eamon did so well all day - we were so proud of him! God Bless Eamon!

I'm just getting all caught up. I cannot believe Caileigh is in kindergarten already. That's amazing. Keira has grown so much and is just as adorable as her big sister. It sounds like Eamon is doing so well. I'm happy things are so well with your family. All the best@

Eamon's 2 Month Appointment

Well baby Eamon is certainly growing! He is 11 lbs 10 oz and 22.5 inches. Right around the 50th percentile for weight. To compare (thanks to this site!) Caileigh was 9 lb 8 oz at 2 mos & Keira was 10 lbs 11 oz. I'm sure Eamon's refusal to take a pacifier is contributing to his extra pounds! Unfortunately the poor guy also got 2 shots and spiked a fever and was completely miserable the rest of the day & night.
Of course, it was the last Friday night at the pool and so the girls went with John to cook out with the neighbors and had a great time. They were out late dancing and singing with all their neighbor girls. Its been a great summer at the pool for everyone especially Caileigh who not only met a bunch of girls to play with but went from swimming 5 feet to the length of the pool, diving, going off the diving board & swimming in the deep end. Hopefully next year she'll join the swim team!
