Scott's Birthday cake

Morning of Scott's 1st Birthday.

About time

Hi its been ages since I've posted on the blog so I'm going to put up a few photos today. We've been busy since Scott arrived and I'm back to work about two months now. Brad is doing well in his new job he likes it a lot. Rory is getting so big and is starting his preschool year in September. It's amazing how quick the time has gone and I can't believe that in a few months I'll be buying a school bag and lunch-box and copies.
Scott is getting big now. He has one tooth and another on the way, he has learnt how to roll over and sits up really well and today he pulled himself up into standing using the coffee table. There's no stopping him at all!!!
The weather has been nice on and off so we had the paddling pool out yesterday and the boys loved it! Rory was in it nearly the entire afternoon. And Scott had a great time splashing around.
So that's it for today I will try to post a few videos too.
 
 

Scott's first attempt at solid food

Scott has his first shot at Baby rice. Rory has some suggestions to try and get Scott to take it.

Scott is getting big!

Hi its been a while since I've put up a post. Scott has been keeping us busy he's laughing away now. He wants me or Brad most of the time so its hard to put him down or get him to stay with anyone else. 
We had his christening the other week so its not only official but the party to celebrate naming him is over! He looked very cute and Rory was adorable in a suit shirt and tie just like his daddy! Niamh made his cake and I've attached a photo it was amazing. 
Its been great having Brad at home since before Christmas we've done so much as a family and its been easier on me looking after the boys with him around. Lets hope his next job lets him have a bit of freedom to be home with us at least 2 days a week.
Scott is getting very chatty lots of babbling he seems to like the sound of Rory's voice and tries to join in when Rory is talking! He also watches him like a hawk. Rory in his turn is always asking where Scott is and wants to kiss and cuddle him all the time sometimes its scary how much he loves his brother!!
Anyway it wont be so long to the next post now that I'm getting the boys sorted!

Happy Halloween

Rory took to the streets in search of Halloween booty dressed as a scary pirate!

Just a quick post.  Rory is a bit lawn mower obsessed so I decided to give his toy mower an upgrade using a portable bluetooth speaker, my old mobile phone and a recording of a real mower.

New baby news

Well, in case you haven't heard we have some news. Rory is getting ready to become a new brother. We hope to have a new arrival on the 9th of October. We had our first visit to the hospital on Tuesday and Rory is now telling everyone about the "new baby on the telly" that we saw at the scan. I have posted a photo below from the scan. Everything is going well. We're told the baby is doing great and was waving and turning round constantly during the scan. 
Other than that its been fairly quiet. Rory has been going to playgroup every Thursday and is really enjoying playing with all the other boys and girls.

Rory Birthday pics

Rory is two!!

Hello everyone,
Rory had his second birthday yesterday. We can't believe how quickly its come round. We had a party for him on Sunday, Fancy dress of course. Brad was a cowboy, Rory was a hobbit and a very cute one he was too, and in keeping with the Lord of the Rings style I was Cate Blanchetts character Galadriel. Mam, Dad, Gem, Kev, Andy and Saoirse all dressed up too. We had a bit of a party Rory got lots of presents and then blew out his candles (after crying when everyone sang Happy Birthday). 
His actual birthday was great too. Brad and I set up his presents for him to find that morning and he was full of awe and wonder. We skyped Helen in Australia and then went to the Aquatic centre to the water park. He loved going on the slides in the water and splashing around. We had lunch at TGI Fridays and after he got new shoes. So he was worn out by the time we came home! Everyone was over for dinner and he got to show off all his presents. Brad and I had bought him a circus tent from Ikea and put balloons in it and he was so impressed he wanted to sleep in it last night!
Anyway I'm sure Ill have another post soon as I sort out the photos and videos from his birthday.
