After all the snow we have had, we were excited for a few pretty afternoons. I haven't pulled out my big camera in a while, so I decided to grab it while we enjoyed the pretty-ish weather. I love these quick shots I snapped of the boys while we were on the trampoline. Shows their sweet little personalities perfectly.
Yay for wearing out some energy and clearing up some winter blues!
We received many many inches of snow this year in Nashville. The most Nashville has seen in a long time! The boys were out of school for over a week, so we had lots of fun snow days.
Here are my three cuties ready to play in the snow!
Snowball fight
Sweet little Conor spent most of his time looking out at the big boys playing. It was SO cold outside and he had a bad chest cold, which I didn't want to get worse, so we had fun watching them play.
Peyton thought it was fun for a little while, but sweet boy got so cold he decided he liked watching from inside as well!
So pretty
Late night sledding
Conor's first time sledding. He was not impressed
Patrick had a BLAST sledding with Michael and Mark down the big hill next to our house. Peyton tried to sled one time and then promptly came inside declaring "that too scary me."
Although the snow was pretty, I sure am glad that it is gone! It is tough having three rowdy boys cooped up in the house for a week!
My sweet little Conor took his first steps on January 16, 2016. I think he could have taken his first steps a while ago, but he has been very cautious. And maybe a little preoccupied watching his two big brothers run around. He also has been walking around holding on to furniture for a long time, but just recently took steps without holding onto anything. He took his first steps right before his first birthday! So proud of my sweet little Conor Clancy!
And yes he is chewing in the video. I couldn't get him to walk for me, so I bribed him with food. This child loves him some food!
And I had to share this video of me trying to convince Conor to walk. I just love his little baby squeals!
The big boys were jealous of Conor getting all of the attention for his last monthly photo, so they all jumped in the picture. It's pretty rare that I get all three children in the same place and smiling at the same time. Figured I better document this little moment....
My precious little Conor is 11 months old! How is he only a month away from being a big 1 year old! This year has flown by!
He is still a pretty good eater. He eats all meat and particularly really loves red meat and pork. He doesn't like the texture of fruit, but will still eat any baby fruit pouches.
My goodness I love this precious little happy baby boy!
Still has eight teeth. I thought the ninth one was coming in, but it seems to be holding off for a little while.
This sweet boy is pretty easy going and is fine with running all sorts of errands and tagging along while we do things with his big brothers. I can't wait until he can run around and join them! He is starting to try and interact with them a little more. It is precious!
"I'll take that camera off your hands, mom!"
Sit here and smile for a picture!?!? Yeah right mom, I am on the move!
This baby is into everything. He LOVES the dishwasher and speed crawls to the dishwasher when I am unloading it. He also loves to try and eat the dogs food. We are potty training Peyton and we forget to close the bathroom door sometimes. So you can frequently find Conor trying to jump in the bath or playing in the toilet...yikes! We also have to keep the dog water up because Conor frequently likes to dump it on his head :/
He experienced his first Christmas this month. He loved all the excitement!
Brotherly love
My sweet little boy and me on Christmas
He still wakes up no later than 6am every morning. Most mornings he is up at 5:30am or 5:45am. He goes to bed around 8pm and wakes up one to two times at night to nurse.
He started the transition to one nap this month, which is really nice. Peyton dropped his nap, so it gives me a little more time with each of the big boys when Conor takes one long nap. He is so dang cute when he sleeps!
He had his first spaghetti this month and LOVED it!
We made a trip to the zoo. Conor had a blast swinging on the swings.
Zoo playground fun!
He will frequently fall asleep in his carseat to take a quick little snooze
Little guy had a rough few days with a bad ear infection, so he had trouble sleeping. This is him at 10:15pm wide awake and ready to party.
And he fell asleep on the playroom floor from exhaustion the next night!
This is the last month until you are 1! I can't believe it! It has gone by so fast. Love you sweet little Conor Clancy!
We rung in the New Years in the most boring way possible this year, in our pajamas asleep in our beds! After such an eventful Christmas we were all exhausted!
Michael woke up at 3:30am on New Years Day to head to the Tennessee Outback bowl. He had to drive to Birmingham and board a 6am flight to Tampa and then catch an 8pm flight back that night to Birmingham and drive home to finally arrive at midnight. Fan dedication at its best! His friend Sam was able to get him amazing tickets. Even though it was a long day for him, I'm pretty sure he loved every minute of it.
The boys and I had a relaxing day at home, followed by New Years dinner at Big and Allie's. Conor was ready to party and waited up for Michael to get home. His teeth have been hurting him, so he has had a lot of trouble sleeping lately.
The next day we headed to Nana and Grumps lake house for another New Year's dinner celebration. We happened to get this special photo, with all of the little boys looking!
It was a great start to the New Year, surrounded by all of our families!
My two precious little boys have a big announcement! My first little minion... and my second little minion... and t...
