New Blog!

I've been having trouble with Blogger not letting me upload videos, so I am moving the blog to here: http://punkhippiehybrid.wordpress.com/, because I don't want to deprive anyone of the hilariousness that is Ciaran in front of the camera.

Bonus - I can update the new blog from my phone, so hopefully there will be more frequent posting!

Brusha Brusha Brusha

Now that Ciaran has six teeth, it's time to start brushing them. I try to get a few good brushes in before he grabs the brush and takes over. He loves to chew on the bristles although I don't know how effective he is at actually getting his teeth clean.

Disneyland Take 3

The Monday after the wedding we all went to Disneyland. By we all, I mean most of Andrew's family, our friends Jamie and Heather and their kids, Auntie Shannon, our friend Raul and us. It was Ciaran's third time at Disneyland, although I don't have any photographic evidence of his second trip but Auntie Shannon does!!

Grandma, Ciaran, Mama. Dada, Raul

Ciaran, Grandma and I ventured off to Toon Town while the older "kids" went on the fast rides. He had a blast playing in Minnie and Mickey's houses.

Wedding

Andrew and I got married on June 19th. We don't have many pictures yet but here are a few.

Ciaran was such a trooper on the day of and the days leading up to the wedding. Andrew and I were very busy and didn't weren't able to spend much quality time with the boy. He was passed around from person to person and he handled it quite well. He talked through the whole ceremony causing me to crack up. I think he was trying to help me with my nerves. After the ceremony I think he had had enough and spent most the the reception being cared for by his amazing Auntie Cindy who never fails to be able to soothe him. We got to enjoy the reception and he ended up crashing in his pack and play. It was such a fun day!

Waiting for the ceremony to start:

Our little family:

Auntie Shannon, Mama, and Uncle Shaughn:

I think we qualify as the least potentially embarrassing parents ever! Right?

There was no way Ciaran was going to sit nicely next to the doggie this month. He is way too busy to pose.

Puff Head

Ciaran likes to eat puffs, and we like to stick them on his face and laugh at him.

Chicago

Ciaran and I went to Chicago for my cousin Brian's wedding. He got to meet so many family members including some cousins that were just about his size. I don't have many pictures of the trip, hopefully I will get some more...

We went to Frank Lloyd Wright's Robe House:

And Ciaran played with his cousin Will...
