Serious scholar

Like I said in the post below, Gus is
very serious about his studies.

For example, here he is reading a book.

Gus Takes HIs Studies VERY Seriously

Gus graduated from the infant room at daycare today,
and they gave us his graduation photo.

I don't believe I've ever seen a more hilarious photo in my life.




I can only assume, based on the photo above,
that this child will excel in
the 1 year old class as well.


And yes, he is wearing a cap and gown.

What a difference a year makes

And Still More Birthday Photos

We had another birthday party for Gus
on Martha's Vineyard with his maternal grandparents,
Aunt Laura, Uncle Perry, and cousin Fifi.

It looked very similar to the previous party,
only this time it was chocolate.

Gus and Hats

We have discovered a foolproof tool for entertaining Gus:
hats.
Seriously, he can spend hours looking at them,
laughing at them, proudly showing them off,
or best of all, wearing them.

More birthday photos

The first birthday party we celebrated for Gus
took place in Cape Cod with his grandparents,
Great Uncle Kenny, and his Great Grandma.

Grandpop's Surprise Party

While we were in New England, we celebrated
Gus's granddad's 60th birthday with a surprise party.
There were over 40 O'Briens there to celebrate,
including Gus's two youngest cousins, Liam and Marea:

his Great Grammie:

and the birthday boy:

More to come...

Sorry to not have blogged for a while.
After a 2 1/2 week vacation in New England, there's a whole
lot to blog about...and I will SOON.

But until then, here's a preview of things to come.
