New Room!

I have been meaning to post pictures since oh - Christmas when we painted Connor's room (at Nonny's house) but am just now getting around to it! I was starting to get sad that I really was never able to "finish" Connor's nursery since we moved almost right after he arrived and I know it won't be really finished until we move, but my mom is too good to me and let me have at his room here! With the help of my brother, we painted the room and daddy Bj installed a new ceiling fan! We think it looks pretty cute and Connor seems to love it, especially his new bookshelves I made him!

His favorite spot is the little chair with his bookshelves - he sits in his little chair and reads away - he is pretty stinkin sweet!

Easter Egg Hunt!

My mom and I took Connor up to Tiles Park on Saturday for the Annual Easter Egg Hunt! It was a bit of a blistery morning, but Connor had fun picking up his 12 Easter eggs. We thought it would be a good practice run before the real deal on Sunday! He looked so cute, he was just anxiously waiting for it to be the 1-2 year old's turn to run out and grab some goodies. After we collected our eggs and surveyed the goodies we hit the road and picked up his real easter basket from Michael's, ran through TJ Maxx and had lunch with daddy! We had a great little Saturday and are really looking forward to Easter this Sunday. Next on the agenda is pictures with the Easter Bunny and dying Easter eggs!

Cupcakes!

I knew there was one picture I was missing from St. Patty's day! I thought these turned out pretty cute and I had to share :) I love me a good cupcake AND a good cupcake topper! I am so bad, I saved them to most likely reuse next year! Ha :)

Getting Ready for Summer!

I don't really have much to say other than these are some of the cutest little piggy toes I have ever seen? I love flip flop weather and thought Connor might need to try it out too :) I thought they were so cute I bought him a brown pair too!

"Mr-T"

Remember when I said Connor hasn't taken off his beads since St. Patrick's Day? I really wasn't kidding - he is still wearing them, as I type this on the 23rd! We said he looks like Mr-T, he is such a little cutie! So, do you like Connor's new jammies? We think he looks pretty cute in his "big boy" jammers. The funny thing about those jammers is I just bought them at Kohl's last weekend...My mom and I ran to Kohl's last Sunday, I needed to pick up a few things and she wanted to go to the Dollar Store down the street. We commented on how quiet Connor was in his car seat, I said oh he is just playing with his sippy cup, hanging out. Obviously I wasn't paying too much attention to that sippy cup because when I went to get him out of the car I noticed it was empty and he was SOAKING wet! He has turned it upside down and dumped the whole thing out. They are supposed to be spill proof - but apparently this one wasn't on the right way or something! So we plopped him in the stroller and bought him a new pair of jammies in Kohl's! Of course we had to put the beads back on :) I thought that was too funny not to remember years down the road!

15 Months!

My sweet boy, I say this every month, but how has another month gone by? You are hilarious as a 15 month old and we can't get enough of you. You got these beads at the St. Patrick's Day parade and you haven't taken them off since - we call you Mr. T because you pile on as many as you can and it cracks us up. We think you look darling and can't get enough of this little personality that is shining through. The Easter bunny dropped off one of your little gifts early this year, some chalk and we decided to take advantage of a nice day and try it out! You had so much fun with it and it was so fun to watch you mimic what we were doing. We have had so much fun this month sending you on little "errands" around the house to see how much you are understanding and it's AMAZING! We can tell you to do something and you do it, you are so smart at this age it is scary! You love to say "hi" to everyone you see and you give kisses. They are the sweetest thing any of us have ever seen and we can't get enough of them! You walk around like a champ and we are pretty sure you are going to start running here before we know it. You sometimes look like a little old man when you walk and it is so very sweet to us. You giggle and laugh all the time - but you can definitely be a little crabby when things aren't going your way.

You are eating well and drinking tons and tons of milk! We are slowly working on eliminating bottles (though not your night time one, momma just isn't ready for that yet) and you are doing great. You are transitioning over into one 4 hour nap after lunch and doing great! It is really kind of fun to have all morning to play with you - it is going to be great this summer and spring when the weather is nice. You love the dogs and chase after poor Scout whenever you can! You have started to really love brushing your teeth and sometimes try to steal our tooth brush! You are so affectionate and love on your bunny and blankey all day. You also love to sit in our laps and read books. We think you are working on some new teeth - and bless your heart we hope they come in soon!
You are an amazing, wonderful, precious little bundle of life and you have made our lives so sweet. We just love watching you grow and change every month, it is a privilege to call myself your momma. We love you so much you little stink pot, here's to month 16!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We love St. Patty's day around our house - we really love holidays in general, but St. Patrick's Day is one of our favorites! We decided to head to the parade since it was going to be such a beautiful day and it didn't disappoint! We had so much fun, though Connor's faces don't show that :) Ha! It was SO crowded that we only were able to take pictures at the end of the parade and by that time he was ready to head home and take a snooze. He was so cute though, he was just watching everyone and he kept "caressing" the hair of the girl that squeezed her way in next to Connor and G. Can you see all of his beads? He worked very hard collecting them (they covered up his cute shirt that said O'Connor!), he worked so hard in fact that he hasn't taken them off since. No joke - we take them off only to eat, sleep and bathe, other than that he wears all of his beads :) After the parade we had the family over for some corn beef sandwiches! We had some cupcakes and Irish Soda bread too! Overall it was a great day and we are already looking forward to sporting our green next year!
