big baby

so, its been a while and while not a lot has happened, a lot has happened. sirus turned 8 weeks on monday. he went in for his appointment on tuesday and weighed 13pounds 15onces! huge! 95th percentile! seamus was 95th percentile at her 8 week appointment too, but as a girl she was a little smaller. sirus is doing great, cute as can be and he will smile for us, too. his blonde hair is in an adorable fau-hawk, especially after i put pertolium jelly in it to try to help with the cradle cap.
(as i sit here, i hear that eric has just changed a sirus poppy diaper only to walk back in the living room to a seamus poopy diaper. i am safely hidden in the bedroom for a little longer - whew! )
seamus is growing her vocabulary in leaps and bounds. as eric was just commenting on it being his lucky day because of all of the poopy, she was spouting "lucky day" as he carried her into her room. when eating, she no longer just asks for more, but instead will ask for more of the particular item she wants - more pears, more chicken, etc. instead of askin "where'd it go?" she will now ask "where'd daddy go? where'd mommy go? where'd farmer go? where'd kitty go?" she is a cutie that is for sure.
eric is working hard on the basement. it is almost done! our tile is in and the carpet will be installed on monday! we should be getting our interior doors today, too. it looks so amazing! he has done a phenomenal job! once the carpet is in we will be moving our bed downstairs and seamus into our room and then sirus into seamus's old room. hopefully everyone transitions well. we have also started looking at furniture options for the upstairs - mainly a dining table. oh the drama and the stress of it all.
i go back to work in just a few weeks which i am sad about. i have had so much fun home with seamus and sirus and eric when he isn't holed up in the basement. we are planning on taking seamus sledding before i head back. i am totally looking forward to it and to getting our christmas tree.
that is all for now.
