Quick Post, Quick Picture!

Babies getting big! Miles is now 6/12 months. Eating and Growing like Crazy.
Cara has learned to say 'No!' to everyone and everything. We are all great though.
I'll write more later. Going home soon!

It is cold here.... BRRRRR

It is very cold here most days. Today it is 25 degrees outside! On the day this picture was taken it was also very cold - they don't look too happy do they?


Mommy and Miles on Christmas morning.


Cara got this house from Santa


Miles opens his first christmas present.

Hello friends and family! Christmas is over and everything is great. I can't believe Miles is 6 months old already! (Well, I can believe it because he was a very fussy baby) We are lucky because from about 2 months old he slept pretty well and he slept all night but, He didn't sleep or nap at all during the day. Makes for a long day until he goes to sleep. Cara is 18 months. She is doing great. She started walking at 17 months and now she is a terror... into everything. She likes her brother a lot. She has started to play with him more and more. I have videos of Cara walking and Miles in his jumper that I will have to download from home.

I am back at work full time and it is great. I have a nanny that comes three days a week to watch the kids and she is wonderful! I don't know what I would do without her. The other four days she is not there Willy watches them on his days off (Sunday/Monday) and I watch them on my days off (Thursday/Friday).

We are getting ready for new years eve here in the big city. I don't think I am doing anything... just watching the Times Square ball drop with the babies. Willy will be working though and he may even be working down in Times Square. He like the excitement and the overtime pay.

Other than work and the holidays that's about all that's going on here. Love from the McAloons! xoxo!

Here are a few pics if you haven't seen any from us lately:

Willy visits CBS News.

Hello!

It has been a long time since I have updated! I had the busiest summer ever... hanging out with a newborn and a one year old all summer kept me very very busy and very tired. Will was out of town for a month too so you know how that goes... I was crazy!

Everything has settled back down. I am back at work and very very happy. I have the best nanny ever - she comes three to four days a week. The kids really love her too and she knows a lot about babies. Miles is getting big. Still eating a TON but now he is sleeping all night. He really has settled down. During the first two months he was always hungry but would eat so much it would make him sick and his stomach was very sensitive. Now he can eat all day and sleep all night and it's great! We are very lucky. Cara is also getting big... she is walking with her push toys but not walking on her own yet. Very very soon I think. She eats everything we give her - including fish, pizza, tacos, chicken. She eats it all. She can say doggie, mama, and dada.
Here are a few pics from our summer.

Cara's adventures in NYC

I haven't updated in so long that I have a lot of videos and photos of Cara to add. She is getting so big! She is crawling and into everything. We really have to watch her. We celebrated her first birthday on July 4 with her cousins in New Jersey. We all had a great time. Here are a few photos and video of what Cara has been up to.

Baby Miles Daniel McAloon

Hello everyone! It has been a while since I posted so I better catch up. We had baby Miles last Monday June 29, 2009. He weighed 7lbs 11oz. I had a scheduled C section. We are all healthy and happy. Miles is doing great! My only issue is that he is sleeping all day and up all night, we're working through it though. Cara looks at Miles and doesn't really know what's going on - all she knows is that he is taking away the attention she used to get. She is doing pretty well but has started crying when he cries. I think to steal some of the attention back for herself.


Cara the night before Miles changes her life forever...
