It has been forever and ever...

Hi everyone...

Its been an absolute eon since I last blogged and so so much stuff has happened, there's just so much to try and fit in.

I've been on the move more and been walking about the place and starting to run about the place. My new fave things to do is to go to our local library for storytime and for the singalong that they have.. I love singalongs on thursdays, I get to dance and sing and bop about the place and afterwards I get to bang the drums they have or touch the guitars that they have. I meet loads of friends there and its always so much fun.

This year for Hallowe'en I got to go trick or treating, not once but twice. On the friday Mum took me to Melrose and they closed the town down and we got to go get treats from the shops that were open.. it was great fun, people really loved my costume. Mum made me be the UPS man. I met my friend Emily there with her Mum and brother. The next day I went around the block with Mika who was dressed as Yoda and then when it got dark Mum took me out trick or treating. I had a great time going to peoples houses and getting sweets from them. I got to meet a lot of our neighbours.

Christmas was fun, Mum Dad and I went to Cork and we had a great time..,but we didn't get to see too many people since it was really icy and we couldn't get out to see people.

I'm now 2 and I like to talk and have a few new fave tv shows to watch.. yes Mum tries to restrict me but I still ask for them anyways..I also love YouTube and the muppet clips. My absolute fave is Bohemian Raphsody. I love Animal, he's cool, I love how he says Mama, Mum and Dad like it too.

D and Mimi came to visit me for my christening. I really didn't like it, not one bit. I didn't like the dunking in the water, I didn't like being naked for it and I didn't like the white tux I had to wear, but Mum says that I also got my communion and confirmation so I was all done, she was excited for that, whatever that means. I did have fun with D and Mimi while they were here, we went to the Science Museum and and few other places, I showed them around Arlington and around the block and stuff.

Mum took me to see the Elmo show. I went with my friend Vin and his mum and it was so much fun, they sang and they danced and I had the best time, until I got sick in the car on the way home.. just too much fun for me I guess..

Hmmm so that takes me up to April and then just a few weeks ago me and Mum went to Ireland. We went on airplane and I had so much fun. I got to watch the telly for such a long time, who could sleep when there's a tv so close to me, but I was a good boy and everyone told mum that. We had a great time in Cork. I got a tractor from D and it was the best thing I think I ever got and the poot-ball . I played with Ciara and also the boys. They have a trampoline and I love to bounce on it. I got to go in D's van and Mimi's car. I got to go on the bus with mum home from town and got to see loads and loads of people. I loved being in the same room as Mum so I could get up up in the morning to start the day with me. I also got to watch loads of new shows that I never get to see at home. I love Handy Manny and I love Fireman Sam.. I can even sing the songs for them now.

Anyways I'll have mum put some pics up of me and I'll try and blog some more soon

Time to get my day going... Mum... where you?????

Been a busy busy boy

Hi everyone,
I've been such a busy boy with Mum, I've made her neglect the blog.
Well in august Mum and Dad took me on holidays to Cape Cod. We shared a house with my friend Maddy and her Mum and Dad. We went to the beach a few times and I played in the sand with Dad. We went to get ice-cream every day, it was yummy. Mum and Dad took me to a petting zoo and I had a great time feeding all the animals and saying hi to them all.

We came back from our hols and then a few weeks later Pop and Renee came to visit for 2 weeks. It was great I had great fun with them. I went to so many different new places and go to see so many things. I got to see Pop play this really huge organ in this really really big hall. I was all dressed up and I danced around while Pop played. My Mum and I went on another holiday to Cape Cod with Renee and Pop. I got to stay in hotels for the first time which I liked. We went to Plymouth and to the Plimoth Plantation. We drove about the cape and saw all the different towns and the lighthouse at Chatham. I had fun the day we went to Provincetown. I saw loads of people and flags and doggies. I also got to be a big boy and go and have my dinner at restaurants.

Since they left Mum has been trying to keep me busy by going to play places, taking me on the bus and the T, taking Doo out for a walk , looking for squirrels and geese,looking for the crunchy leaves, raspberry picking. I went to the natural history museum with my friend Maia last week and got to see all the animals and the dinosaurs. We has great fun there, I ran about the place looking at all the bones they have, we then went to a restaurant for dinner and Mum took me home on the bus. It was a great day

I'm going to get ready for Hallow e'en, Mum has bought me some pumpkins and we're going to decorate them today. Here are some pics of me http://picasaweb.google.com/aodonovan/AugOct2009?feat=directlink

Bye for now...

Fireman Nicky or Govenor Nicky

Hi everyone...

I had an exciting morning this morning.. Mum took me out and about in Arlington in the buggy and we saw that there was something going on outside the fire house , there were tv cameras and reporters and all the fire engines were out. We found out that the govenor was coming for a press conference. Mum decided that we should hang out and watch it. Before it started one of the nice firemen let me sit up in the drivers seat.. it was great fun.. I had fun going "beep beep"

We then stood outside and watched the press conference.. I didn't know what it was about, but Mum said it was for something good. I met the police lieutenant and some of the local politicians.. I was working the crowd as Mum said.

After the conference was over, the govenor came over to see me because he said I was a very quiet and good boy. He played with my toes and we got a picture taken with him. We then had to rush home to see if we were on any of the news, and yes we were...

Must go get ready, going to the beach soon.. yippeee!!

What's a farmers tan Mum?

Hello everyone,
I hope that everyone is having a nice summer, we've not had much of nice summer weather but in the past week or so we have had and I seem to have a little farmers tan. I like to run about now with Mum and Doo
Mum and Dad went to Montreal a few weeks ago and I went to stay with Yia-Yia and Pappa. I had a great time with them and the dogs.. Mum and Dad had a lovely time in Montreal, they brought me back a lovely sign for my room!
Last week the Tall Ships were in Boston so Mum to me to see some of them. We went to the Navy Yard, where Mum worked before and we said hi to a few people. We then went down to the pier and we went to see the ships. I said hi to a lot of sailors that were there. We went to see the LE Eithne, we said hi to some of the sailors there and we chatted with them about Boston and places to go to. They were really nice and let us up onboard when it was closed to the public and then they took some pictures for me and Mum. We then got a quick tour of the ship, which Mum said was very cool, I really wasn't interested, I just wanted to run about.
On Friday I hung out with Mika and Christopher at Christophers house, he has a paddling pool and loads of cool cars. I did not want to leave when it was time for my nap. Pics are here
Mum and Dad took me to the spray pool nearby on Saturday, I had fun running through the big water sprays, but I preferred going to play on the slides.
Mum and Dad are taking me on holiday in a few weeks.. we're going to the beach for a holiday. I'm all excited about going because my friend Maddy is going to be going as well
I must go and help Mum taking Doo out
Bye for now!!

So Mum, this orienteering thing..

Hi everyone,
It was a gorgeous day today so Mum took me orienteering down in the Blue Hills reserve. I dod think since I'm now a big boy I can walk with Mum on my own, but I got a little tired so Mum did have to carry me for a bit. The course went around the pond and we saw that they have a swimming area, so maybe Mum might take me here again some day. She took a few pics of me here
I went to see my new friend Alice today, she's a tiny little girl, she only 3 weeks old. I got upset when she was crying and I started to cry as well. My other friend Mika is now walking and she walked around the block with me for the first time during the week, I'm such a good walker that I decided that I was going to help her by holding her hand at times.
Mum took me to the library on thursday for dancing and singing and on friday... I like to dance and clap to all the nursery rhymes.
I must go to bed now since tomorrow, I'm going to be a scientist at Ellen's house, so Mum needs to go find me a white coat
buh-bye for now

Hello warm weather

Hi everyone, hope everyone is doing well.
It's been a good month for Nicky, growing up bit by bit, is now entering the no phase of life.. one I know will last for a while. He's getting more and more into moving about and moving stuff about the place. He now likes to push the chair about the kitchen, yes I am waiting for the day when he can climb it.. its on its way.
We went to the zoo earlier in the month for his friend Maddy's birthday and he had a great time looking at the monkeys ( doing grown-up monkey stuff) and seeing all the other animals. We'll try and go some day a bit earlier in the day so we can explore and see all the other animals we missed.
We bought Nicky a pull-along wagon so one evening we sat him and his buddy Mika in it and took them off around the block, they looked like the royal couple, him grunting at sam to keep moving and Mika doing her royal wave.. will post the pic soon. This month we have also been taking swimming lessons, last week was the first time he actually liked being in the pool and splashing. Most recent pics are here
Time for me to go and collect Oscar from his haircut
Have fun

Very Busy.....

Hello everyone,
I've just been so busy these past few weeks I've not had time to sit down and have Mum type up an entry for me
Mum has been taking me to the park nearly every day that its nice. I love the swings and slides. I've gone and played with a few new friends and I like playing with their toys more than I like playing with my own.
Mum signed me up for swim class, we had our first one today, I'm not sure yet I like it. I prefer the bath tub, but Mum is still going to take me I think. I really like these days looking for all the birds and the squirrels and my fave are still the cats!
I went to my first US orienteering event with Mum and Dad, it was fun, I liked running about the woods on the path, Dad took a pic of me and my other pics from this month are here
Mum and Dad went to see Travis last night, Mum said it was fantastic. Mum is a very big fan, she went to see them in Newbury Comics with Shauna and she got me some autographs!
Well I must really get some sleep, had a busy day today, need to sleep.
Hope everyone is doing well
