Uh-oh. Look who's awake on the 4 hour drive down the keys!
That drive takes a lot out of you!
Afterward the cousins united and took over the Key West house. More coming soon!

Here she is, coordinating perfectly in her charcoal gray footsie pjs with her hi-tech seat. Noah was all over her. He was like, "look, ma! Someone smaller than me!"
He strikes up a conversation with his fiance. She feigns interest at first then gives up and falls asleep. She's asleep in most of my pictures, but she had her eyes open a lot when we were there.
Then she tells him to beat it. Check out the little tuft of hair on top of her head and her little blonde eyebrows. Seriously, she's the cutest little thing ever. She's making a face just like her mom - just take a look at the picture of Becky below.
Evan loves Amelia's kitty keyboard that makes cat noises when you hit the keys and sings crazy cat songs. Evan also loved Becky and Chris's house. At one point we were all downstairs and he's in their shower, behind the glass door singing "If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands! And I'm so happy!"
Noah's such the baby to me. Then I see him next to baby Amelia, poking her with his fingers, running laps around Becky's house and escaping up the steps and taking off down the hallway upstairs. It was like he turned from an infant to a toddler before my eyes! Crazy.

This is the funniest face I have ever seen - I had to post it. Poor little Noah.
Best friends...
And this was from a few weeks ago. Noah walks all over the house and outside too. There's no stopping him now! Now if only he would say "Mama"...

Key West Sleepy Time
So as you all know, PoPo and Mima got us an awesome house in Key West for 10 days! The house was beautiful as you will see, but here we are on the trip down with the sweet sweet children. Sweet when they are sleeping.
Uh-oh. Look who's awake on the 4 hour drive down the keys!
That drive takes a lot out of you!

Evan and Noah pack for Key West
Cute little suitcases courtesy of Grandmom and Pop!
Bike helmet courtesy of our neighbors. Evan likes to wear it on our walks to school.
And Evan took this photo. Noah spans both suitcases.
Here's some cute little things... Evan says "Picking my nose is my most favorite thing to do in the whole world." Also, his favorite color is no longer blue - it's black! Evan enjoys making his "world famous tuna fish". That's even what the teachers at his school call it when he brings it in for lunch. This what Evan puts in his world famous tuna - shredded carrots, celery, dill pickles, mayo, mustard, salt and pepper. He even shreds the carrots for me. Each time it's the best he's tasted - ever.

Amelia Molly Menchin
YAY! She's here!!!
Becky and Chris finally had their beautiful little baby girl. Amelia was born on March 16 at 8lbs. 9oz with brown hair, blue eyes and a tiny, perfectly formed little Becky nose. She gave Becky a hard time coming out, but look at HOW VERY CUTE she is. Such a little girl with long thin fingers and nails. I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!!
She's 2 days shy of being exactly 11 mos. younger than Noah. They are obviously going to be best friends.
Dumb me didn't bring a camera of course, so I snagged Bob's pictures.

Evan and Sydney
You're going to die from cuteness overload. Sydney lives right down the street from us and sometimes she walks with us to school on Mondays. Little do the kids know, their marriage has been arranged already by their proud aunts Brittany and Jeannine.
They even started their own band! That is the kids did, not their aunts.

St. Patricks Day
The Cronin lads!
And Evan dancing!
They taught him the Irish jig in school. And he pulled out the robot at the school's sock hop fundraiser. Evan and I went there on our "date". Mike was home with a sick Noah, so Evan and I walked there alone and danced the night away. It was very nice to spend time alone with him. It used to be just the two of us a lot and now we're never alone together anymore. At the sock hop, Evan did the robot and got on ground and spun around on his back! He also would run and slide on his knees. I thought Mike taught him how to do it, but he said no! Who taught Evan how to do the robot? Not us. He made quite an impression.

Just Another Sunday Night...
Watching this stuff makes my heart hurt. These are for Brittany who wants more video.
Check out Noah shaking his hiney to the beat. The boys had tons of energy after walking on the Wildwood boardwalk all day with Grandmom and Pop. Actually Evan rode his big wheel and Noah drove his red sports coupe.
Rocking in the BBC! ??? And Boom Chicka Boom and you can't catch me! Some of Evan's finest lyrics! His microphone is actually a toy hatchet that he ripped the blade off of after I kept getting mad when he'd hit me with it.
And some time on the playset.
Is Noah having fun? Hard to tell...
At least we know Evan is!

Noah is 10 months!
Here he is!
I had to give him the remote to make him sit down. He kept standing up and walking toward me, trying to grab the camera.
And he's down!
He only walks by himself if he REALLY wants something. Mostly he'll grab your hand and make you walk him around the house, or take his little push cars. Crawling just pisses him off now. He'll do it while complaining the whole time, "ehhhhh. Eh! EHHH!" Then he curses in Spanish. Actually, he's teething and when he's furiously biting something, he makes noises that sound like the Tazmanian Devil. It is so funny.
This is what we did later in the day...
So our Noah has been formula fed since the day he turned 9 months. No more pumping, no more nursing - it's all done. It's a blessing and a curse for someone like me who breastfed Evan for 2 years and change. Not that I would ever want to go that long again, but I was trying with all my might to do it for a year. But then Noah got some colds and some teeth and he would refuse to nurse. And we had such a nice system going before that where he would nurse first then he was supplemented with formula. I could pick which way he ate depending on if we were at home or out and about. It was really great because I could have that closeness with him, but at the same time he could be babysat for long periods of time and I'm not biting my fingernails to get back and nurse him. But now instead of getting him up in the morning and quietly rocking him in the glider as he eats, I have to rush downstairs, warm up water, measure, measure, shake shake. Not too mention it's very expensive. Actually, I should just shut up now because Noah and Evan are with my parents and sister right now - and they were last night too when we took a limo to AC!
