Conor 15 Months

Conor is 15 months old!

This precious little boy is such a handful!! He wants to do everything big brothers do! He reminds me a lot of Patrick, because he is a very independent little baby. He definitely voices when he is angry and bites the heck out of me and Peyton. But he is a happy little guy too. He has the best smile!

He has been very grumpy lately and I think it is because I have been weaning him. He is not happy about it. He wakes up in the middle of the night tugging on my shirt and screaming like crazy. He finally gives up after about 30 minutes of me cuddling him and rubbing his back. It has been rough! We are down to only nursing before bedtime.

He still loves meal times, but has become much pickier. He prefers to eat off of my plate only. I can put the same thing on his tray and he refuses to touch it, but will grab all kinds of things off of my plate and eat them no problem!

We celebrated both his brothers' and he was so excited to have all of their friends over and run around and play with everyone

He has been playing in the toy closet and loves putting on different accessories

Nap time has been sparce this month. He is fighting nap time like crazy!

My buddy

Major temper tantrums this month. He gets on the floor and just pouts and screams. Terrible two's are starting early (which definitely reminds me of one of his big brothers!)

Climbing on everything!

Park fun!

Big brother love

Swinging

First time on the jet ski and it was a little cold so he had to wear footed pajamas :)

My boys. Notice the large bruise on Conor's nose. He had quite the tumble on Mother's Day. Fell face first on the pavement, ouch!

Precious baby profile

At the doctor for Conor's 15 month appointment, his weight was 24 lbs, 6 ounces (50%), he  was 34 inches tall (>97%) and his head circumference was 75%. He is definitely my tallest of the bunch, they said he was in the 99th percentile for his height!!

And a little peek into life with 3 boys. Chase all the time. I just LOVE that sweet little waddle!!

Excited to have a fun summer with my boys. I have no doubt that Conor will love being a part of all the excitement!

St. Henry Pre-k Play

Patrick's pre-k play was yesterday morning and it was precious! The kids did such a great job! I was so proud of them! Patrick seemed a little nervous, but said he was not nervous at all ;)

Big and Allie joined us to watch the play.

He had one line and it was "Read a Good Book"

I was so impressed with Conor and Peyton! They were so good during the entire play!

The play was split into a few parts, which made it really easy to video. We sat in the second row, only because I was afraid that if we sat in the front row Peyton and Conor would run up to the stage. So the video isn't the best, but it does capture his sweet little part!

It was such a cute play and I was so proud of my big boy!

Mother's Day 2016

Mother's day weekend started off with a class party at Patrick's school. They had been preparing for Mother's Day for weeks. Every day for about a month he would come home and tell me that he made something special for Mother's Day and how excited he was about it. They had so many pictures, paintings, and sculptures surrounding the room that the kids had made for the moms. It was very cute how excited he was about everything!

This was one of Patrick's favorite projects. They flung paint at construction paper outside one day and it was a huge hit for the kids!

He also painted a portrait of me, too cute :)

Notice my age...ahhhhh! Yikes!

Another one of his favorite paintings

For the rest of the mother's day brunch they painted all of the mom's toenails! It was hysterical and I had paint covering my entire foot. It was clear that none of the boys knew anything about painting toenails :)

That afternoon Peyton took a nap, so I got some special one on one time with this precious little boy. 

He "helped" me fold laundry. But really thought playing peek-a-boo was the most fun!

On Mother's Day we woke up early and went to 7:30am church. While pulling into church we hit a curb and the tire blew.  It was definitely a rough start to Mother's Day!

My big boy!

We had brunch and Nana and Grumps and then had a photo shoot since everyone was dressed up.

Nana and her grandbabies

Gigi and her great grandbabies

The whole crew minus Grumps who was taking the photo

Ring pops for all....they were a sticky mess!

The moms and boys

And me and my precious boys. I didn't really mean for everyone to be in blue!

My babies!

Then we headed to visit with Allie for a little while! Fun Mother's Day with my sweet little family!

Park Time

The weather has been gorgeous, so the littlest two and I have been going to the park a couple times a week while Patrick is at school.  We stayed at the park for over 2 hours this morning. So I had time to take out my camera and take a few pictures of these cuties.

This precious big boy is so excited to be big enough to sit on the bench and eat a snack with big brother.

There are so many people my size here! Sweet boy doesn't get to hang out with many other kids his age, since we are always doing something for big brothers. He loves any chance he gets to "talk" to other little kids his age.

Best buds

Peyton wanted to swing next to baby. They were precious "chatting" back and forth to each other.

I see many more gorgeous spring park days in our future!

End of Busy Season Lake Celebration

Michael was able to take off a couple days in the middle of the week unexpectedly, so we decided to head to the lake. He just finished busy season, even though it is already May! We were only at the lake for about 24 hours, but the boys had a blast!

Conor tried on his life jacket for the first time and fell over and got stuck. He was not amused, but I thought it was pretty funny :)

Love these three!

Mom, seriously what is this thing you put on me?!?

Love baby profiles!

Michael cooked dinner at the lake house and we just hung out as a family, which was no nice! It has been very rare for us all to be home for dinner on a week day recently!

The boys woke up and were begging to go on the jet ski's. Conor had his first ride and he LOVED it! He would scream so hard and throw the biggest fit when he had to get off. 

Don't worry, Michael went very slow with sweet little Conor

After a chilly morning on the lake, we headed inside for a game of pie face. The kids thought that this game was the greatest game ever! The pictures aren't great because of the sun, but you can see how excited they are!

  

Michael was hit first!

Terrible video since I was holding Conor, but here is their first time playing the game. I missed all of the comments afterwards of "let's do that again" and "this is the most fun ever." Oh boys....

Next was Peyton!

And then daddy again!

And then the person that was dying to get hit with the whip cream!

He was so proud that he got hit with the pie and asked to do it approximately 20 more times. Sweet little Peyton just wanted to eat it all, haha! And Conor and I were just along for the show :)

After lunch and play time we headed back from the lake. It was such a fun time with my precious little family.
