His first sentence!

Two days ago, he put a box over his head and yelled, "I can't see! I can't see!"

Really, he did!


Addendum: my sister-in-law Carol says I should have answered, "That's because you have a box on your head, you idiot!!"

Seamus' favorite present

... was received on the 9th day of Christmas this year. Much better than nine ladies dancing, in his opinion (if not in mine).

Apparently, the oil company Hess, evil though they may be, has a tradition of selling truly awesome toy trucks during the holiday season. For 2008, it was a front end loader with its very own transport truck. Both pieces have lights, motors, and all kinds of other cool surprises.

Seamus has hardly let it out of his sight since he opened it -- thank you, Cousin Logan!

Critters enjoying their pet beds

... each in their own way.

Thanks to Seamus' great-grandmother for the excellent Christmas presents!
