Way back on August 13, 2015 — we know, we know, we have a lot of catching up to do, as we mentioned before — Dermot turned 1. He had a Dr. Seuss-themed birthday, complete with lots of great decorations, a scrumptious cake (thanks, Auntie!), Lorax and green eggs and ham treats, and lots and lots of presents from his generous friends and family!
Oh, and Dermot quite enjoyed his smash cake, as the below video will attest!
We will be covering Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day and Easter in this post!
Our little Cupid!
Hahaha!
Yo, what’s up?
My “little” baby.
We stopped by Natick and attempted a cousin picture… attempted being the key word here.
Take #2 of 50.
“I pat Dermot.”
My Mom-Mom & Pops gave me one of these trucks for Christmas so I took a ride on my cousins’ to test it out and see what it was like. It’s awesome.
Mom-Mom & Pops gave me my new monogrammed Easter basket early. It had books, a bunny and this cool caterpillar toy!
The Easter Bunny brought me sippy cups, socks and pabbas!
Looking at the trees and the clouds with Auntie Di.
Everyone is smiling and has their eyes open! Nana’s beautiful Easter tree in the background.
Mom, enough kisses!
Thanks for the blocks Nana!
Okay… put the camera away.
Around the 6 month mark Dermot really started noticing and playing with the animals on his exersaucer.
Mom, enough pictures. I’m playing.
Mom and I like to do exercises like this.
Baby toes… enough said.
“Ummm… what am I supposed to do with this Mum-Mum cracker?” Fast forward one week and he can’t get enough of them!
Colin is my buddy.
Addie spent the weekend with us and we took Dermot’s first trip to the Aquarium. Dermot slept for the majority of the trip and woke up just in time to eat a bottle in the lobby before we left and headed to lunch.
Patting the Sting Rays! Maybe next time Dermie Squirmie!
And someone sat in a highchair in a restaurant for the first time.
Dermot weighed 17lbs at his 6 month check up. We started solid foods a week before he turned 6 months. He loves food and has a hearty appetite. He enjoys listening to music, playing in his office (exersaucer) and just hanging out. Gone are the days of the little baby that needed to be carried around or moving all of the time, he is happy to just chill out.
Addie was here for the weekend too!
I LOVE hanging out with no clothes on.
Mama tried to play all sorts of games with me. I laugh and let her think she is funny.
Mom & Dad took me to my first PC game!
Dad was really into it. Uncle T-Bone, get off of your phone!
Hanging with Auntie Cate & Auntie Nettie. My hand tastes so good.
Auntie Nettie and Uncle Paul came to Nana’s on Christmas Eve. Uncle Stu was really excited about this.
My first Thanksgiving! We realize this is really late and Mom-Mom & Pops have more pictures on their camera. Oops!
The bib that Mom gave Addie in 2008!
I loved having lunch with my Uncle Scott. I had such a good time that I needed a nap after!
I got to meet my cousin Kiah too!
We are so excited to welcome 2015! We know it is going to be a great year!
I’m kind of a big deal.
I love cuddling with my Dada.
Tummy Time… Dr. Wu, Mom and all the books say I have to do it. I loathe it.
I’ll humor Mom and lift my head up.
But I do love my playmat!
Drool! Always drooling.
Just making music with my rattle. I like to hold things and swing my arms around.
Christmas morning… loving my chair from Nana!
So excited!
Santa was so good to Dermot!
Sleepy Santa!
Auntie Mary is cool and lets me watch music videos.
My godmother likes to cuddle, I like to walk around… we try to meet in the middle.
Dermot spotted the TV as Nana and Paul were trying to take a picture.
Making Dermie Squirmie’s Wii character.
Boy cousins… thank goodness they have each other with those two girls!
I had a really good day!
Uncle Mike is so funny!
Group photo with Poppy and Kiki… we tried!
Great Grandma Edie… The baby whisperer.
Story time with Pops.
My crazy uncles are playing with my toys more than I am!
Love hanging out with Mom-Mom.
My new kicks – Uncle Tommy is so stylish.
Love my Godfather.
We had a great 1st Christmas!
