Thanksgiving!

The first turkey trot for our little turkey. Mimi and Fred made the trek to visit.

Tailgate

We attended our first UCSD football game on Sunday. They lost pretty bad to Boise state but we still enjoyed a fall college game. Here's Niall at his wild tailgate party of 1, and the little guy sleeping in his carrier.

Little guy continues to grow!

Unearthed photos

I am a little slow to download photos off my camera. Here's a sampling from the past few weeks! I feel like he has grown so much!

More fun with Philbin!

Looking sharp in his halloween costume. No need for a shirt.

Beach day

Niall Jr and I relaxed in the sun while big Niall braved the surf.

Today we took a field trip to Coronado island with Pat Doyle and his girlfriend who are visiting from Boston. We spied air force one land at the base. To celebrate veterans day an aircraft carrier was hosting a basketball game on the deck. Beautiful sunset!

6 weeks old!

Feeling upset about the Pats performance last weekend. He was able to express his disappointment by leaving a mess in his diaper. I sent it to Belicheck.

Sorry about the pink pacifier buddy.

Shower time. Cute cheeks. 

Stowaway

Tuckered out from a long day.

Nana tried to high jack Jr 

Smiles

Niall has finally started to play! He began smiling and playing with some of his toys this week.  Such a  happy little guy! Mom is also happy because Jr. began sleeping through the night. Ahh, who knew that I could appreciate 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep so much. Nana was here for a week while big Niall was away on a business trip to Chicago. It was so nice to have her here to help, thanks Mom!
