hApPy BiRtHdAy McKaYlAh!

Happy 3rd Birthday to a very sweet neice and cousin. We don't see you often enough! We love and miss you so very much :)

We've found it!

Our new house! After searching and searching, we found a house that Jordan and I both love. We move on March 20th and can't wait to start making it our home. The pictures are the pictures that were posted on the website for the house; I will definitely take more once we are in! We are excited to have loads more space; this will allow us to grow our little family, but it also gives us plenty of space for people (ahem, everyone in Ireland!) to visit . . . (Auntie Hannah, the neighborhood has a pool!)

Splish Splash

Eoin is now in his 4th week of swimming lessons at Four Seasons and we love it . . . he really enjoys being in the water; his little legs do not stop kicking until he is out of the water and this past week he even started jumping from the side of the pool into my arms (from a sitting position). He has no fear of the water and even knows to hold his breathe when we put him under. My friend Erin is in the same Experiencing H2O class with her little boy, Michael, and they play very well together. Jordan and I love how well Eoin sleeps on Monday evenings :)

Excuse the quality of the pictures . . . this shouldn't happen again because I received a new camera for Valentine's Day! I am so excited to be able to use it . . . I just have to figure out some time to learn!

A couple updates . . .

. . . and then back to my daily grind of homework, work and overall just trying to keep it all together!

Eoin is doing so well! He is bright and happy all of the time. Last week, January 26th, he started swimming lesson, well, actually "experiencing h20" at Four Seasons. Okay, I know I'm a biased mommy, but he is top of the class! I loves the water and kicks and splashes from the minutes he enters until well exit safely! haha Seriously, he loves going under the water and tries to free himself from my grasp while we are in the pool. At this rate he might be swimming before he is crawling . . . umm, Michael Phelps anyone? haha

His two teeth are almost all the way up and are much easier to see now, although he still doesn't have a toothy grin. His favorite place to be these days, besides in mommy or daddy's arms, is in his jumparoo while watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

Eoin went through a growth spurt just a week ago and unfortunately doesn't fit into many of his 9-month clothes anymore . . . well, this just gave me a reason to shop and now he has some very cute 12-month clothes! I can't believe how big he is!

We sold our house last week and are currently house hunting. It is a positive experience, but is taking a while since the inventory of houses at our price point is rather large at the minute. We don't want to leave any stone unturned, so thankfully we have a very patient realtor! It is so exciting, yet a little nerve-racking, to walk into a home and wonder if this is the "one." We made so many special memories in our current house (getting engaged, entertaining friends and family, my wedding day pictures, finding out we were pregnant, bringing Eoin to his first home) and can't wait to make many more in our next home . . . we just have to find it :) haha
