Davy and Grainne

Davy's Baby Sister

Granuaile (Grainne) Ann Elizabeth was born at home on May 11, 2009 at 3:24 pm. She weighed 7 lbs 14 oz, a full pound less than her brother. She was 20 inches long. Grainne is very alert, and likes to just look at things. She is laid back and only cries to eat or for diaper changes (or when a diaper change is needed).

For help pronouncing her name, and for its origins.

"Look! I Grandpa!"

Davy was walking with his "cane" outside this afternoon. Suddenly he turned to me and said "Look! I Grandpa!" But then when I repeated it he said what he always does.... "No, I Davy."

Mini-Joe

We had a midwife appointment yesterday. At 8:30 PM. We took Davy because we can. He fell asleep in the car after talking up a storm. Must be his way of putting himself to sleep. He talks non-stop. "Daddy, what are you doing? Mommy, what are you doing?" "Davy riding." "Daddy riding." "Mommy driving." "Truck!" "Otis touch back." (which translated, means 'Otis jumped on my back.' Otis, my brother's dog, jumped on Davy's back Saturday evening. It made an impression and we've been hearing about it ever since.) "Otis stinks! Yuck!" This last one is purely Joe. Joe doesn't like dogs. Except Allie. And I think he likes Zoe. But that's it. So Joe gets Davy to say "Otis stinks! Yuck! Bad Otis." Davy loves to say this. Partly because Joe does, and partly because he gets a reaction.

After all this, Davy started singing something eerily similar to "people die, die, die." Complete with gun sound effects. Not sure what he was really saying. I hope I'm wrong.

So Sleepy

Davy just laid down on the carpet and went to sleep this afternoon. Usually he goes down for a nap around 1, but I guess he wanted a nap earlier. He was asleep by 12:30, completely on his own. He's getting to be such a big boy!

Legos

Davy is completely obsessed with Legos. Not the age-appropriate legos though. They have to be the small kind labeled for ages 5 and up. He plays with them all the time, and he carries around his collection in a blue Lego tub. He won't go anywhere without the tub.
