Eamon loves his Matchbox cars.

More Park Pictures - We really love parks!

A few weeks ago we had a girls' night in.

Park in Helena

Ed has been putting down tile in my parents bathroom for a few weeks now on his off days. One day when he was working there he took a break to meet us at a park in Helena.

Here is Ed and Eamon walking across a very shallow part of Buck Creek.

Waving at the train going by

After playing at the park we went for hotdogs and hamburgers. While we were there Eamon was standing up in his seat playing with the bags of potato chips on the stand behind him. Ed told him to turn around and eat his french fries. Then Eamon starting turning around and around and around. Well, at least he listened. My friend Trisha commented on the post about Eamon "throwing the trash away" that I need to start reading him the Amelia Bedelia books so I know what not to say to him.

Play Date with Sydney

Sydney and her mom came over to play a few weeks ago. She and Eamon really enjoyed sitting in these crates.

As requested - a picture

Eamon enjoying a frozen fruit pop.

Reminder

Don't get mad when your 19 month old is throwing the trash across the room when you gave it to him and asked him to throw it away.

New Photographer in Town

Watch out Birmingham, there is a new photographer in town and she took some pictures of Eamon this week. There is a sneak peak at www.raedyerphotography.com ! A slide show with more pictures will be ready next week and I'll post that link when it is available. Since Rae is new in town, she is offering a great deal - waiving the sitting fee and offering a credit towards prints.

New Orleans Trip - Part 5 - Hanging out

Katie, Eamon and Ellen

Eamon and Ellen marching on the sidewalk.

Eamon had a great time playing with his cousins. They take great care of him. He was very excited to see Ellen again (she stayed with us for 2 weeks earlier this summer)

When we got in the car to leave Eamon was crying, he didn't want to leave his cousins.
Funny thing is, I remember both those girls and their older brother crying when I would leave their house.

New Orleans Trip - Part 4: Eamon's First Snowball

Katie, Ellen and I took Eamon for his first snowball at my favorite snowball stand, Sal's. Sal's is right down the street from Ethel's old house and she would take Ely and I there all the time. We usually walked. Eamon got a pina colada flavored snowball (didn't want to stain his cute outfit that MamaMarie made)

Katie and Ellen both had ice cream flavored snowball. Ellen's had actual soft-serve ice cream on top and Katie's had condensed milk on top. Me, I had a Strawberry with condensed milk, YUM!!
HE LOVED IT!

When his was all gone (partially eaten and partially spilled on him and the ground - notice the cup angle) he held his cup up to Ellen wanting her to pour some of hers into his cup. Then he looked at me and told me more. No more for you little man, you had enough sugar for one day.

Here is a picture of Sal's Snowball Stand on Metairie Road. I found this picture on Google

New Orleans Trip - Part 3: Visiting Aunt Lovie

We went to see Aunt Lovie on Saturday. Aunt Lovie is my mom's aunt. If I posted her age on here she would probably kill me, but let me just tell you, she looks and acts a lot younger than she is.

New Orleans Trip - Part 2 - Louisiana Children's Museum

On Friday, my cousin, Katie, and I took Eamon to the Louisiana Children's Museum.
Katie is 15 and will be a Sophomore this year.

Eamon really liked playing with the trains, and Katie enjoyed this riding horse.More fun with the train table.

Rocking horse.

They have a pretend diner, it was pretty neat.

This is really cool. You can make a giant bubble around you.

Eamon loves anything with a steering wheel.

Eamon and Katie driving a boat (I think)

They have a section that is Mr. Rodger's Neighborhood. I'm not sure how many of these kids actually know who he is.

Thanks for going with us Katie, we had a great time.
