Christmas in Georgia Part 2

Gotta get this in under the wire before the New Year!

Playing at the Kids Area at the MSP airport before departure. Eamonn caught a horrible stomach bug Thursday night before our flight out Saturday. Thankfully he got better in time to leave, and share the germs with all our distant relations!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Boy loves to clap. He'd clap and wait for others to join him. A natural cheerleader.

Little Buddy loves his Clifford books

Thanks Aunt Rachie!

Mmm Daddy got some yummy presents!

Visiting with some extended cousins and my Aunt Rita.

And then this happened.

How to entertain a baby and a dog? Put the dog in the stroller, of course!

MAMA I DO NOT WANT MY PICTURE TAKEN RIGHT NOW!

I had to share this one. My face was too funny.

Blowin kisses!

Eamonn's not quite sure about the rocking horse yet.

Baby's first Christmas haul.

Reading his books at GG and Grandpa Jesse's house

He also learned how to open lever style door handles while in Glennville. Thankfully our door handles seem to be higher up, and he can't quite reach them yet.

He also started giving cheek kisses, but he hasn't done it again since we got home.

Flying home. Oh how he loved to open and close that shade.

And now for some unrelated to Christmas pictures from the trip!

Getting his first haircut! Grandma Cathy dutifully holds his movie playing silly songs in the background.

"If Mama holds me, I'll be allright."

Definitely *his* favorite part.

Rita was amazing at knowing how to handle a fearful baby.

He was being such a goober in these photos, I had to share.

And bath time at GGs!

He's never met a bath tub that he didn't need to inspect. And CLIMBING! Climb All the Things! Open and Close All the Doors. 

FUN!

Eamonn also heartily enjoyed Grandma Cathy and Grandpa Buddy's pets: Molly the dog, Colby the young cat, and Legolas the old cat. The pets enjoyed Eamonn too... they enjoyed when he was sleeping and in Glennville. 

Eamonn has also developed a passion for clementine oranges. He would eat them for every meal if we let him. He also ate a lot of ham. This boy is not a vegetarian.

He's babbling lots of new sounds now, and his walking improved greatly while getting to roam all over the big house in Watkinsville.

Eamonn went with us to the grandparent's church twice while visiting, and was much admired. He did not enjoy staying in the nursery though. Still a little bit of separation anxiety there.

It was a super fantastic trip, and we got to see so many people! There's always more you wish you could have done, but only so much time in which to do it. Next time, more pictures!
