Just Some Miscellaneous Fun

I realized it had been over a month since I last blogged. Sorry everyone. We did so much over the holidays, I guess I have just been enjoying having a few weeks in there that have been a bit more relaxing.

On a Connor development note, as Connor has become more and more communicative, he has also started becomming a little bit more bossy. For example, he likes to say, "Mommy, stop doing that" or some variation of that. He will also tell me and Jeff to "stop talking." I know it will only get worse, but we are trying our best to tell him not to speak that way.

His bossiness is not welcome, but other parts of his language development surely are. For example, I can't help but laugh when out of the blue he'll use some type of exclamation. Today in the car we drove by two trains and he said, "Oh my goodness, look at all the trains." It was so cute. He will also say, "how 'bout that" after something he's excited about. Like when we are leaving school he'll say, "We can go and meet our friends at the play place. How 'bout that," and he'll usually have a big smile on his face. It's heart melting. He also says, "I'll be right back" and "hold on." It's funny too, because sometimes I'll grimace or act frustrated while driving or wherever and he'll say, "Mommy, what's wrong? What's wrong Mommy?" I'll usually tell him that someone is driving too slow or whatever and he'll say OK. Other times I'll say, "Oh nothing's wrong honey" and he'll usually say, "Mommy you're not sad, you're happy Mommy. You're not crying, you're happy, right?" It's just funny how much he talks now.

Since we didn't do anything out of the ordinary, I don't have many pictures to share, but I will post what I do have for now. Enjoy!

Connor cooking in the kitchen. He makes all sorts of things. It's cute, because he is really starting to do more pretend play. For example, at the park, he'll often give me pieces of mulch and tell me that it's chicken or ice cream or something else and I'll pretend to eat it.

We decided to stay in for the Super Bowl this year. Connor liked playing football and watching football. We moved the dips before this picture was taken, but we had a nice little spread of food and then after Connor went to bed, Jeff and I made meatball sandwiches. It was a nice, low key Super Bowl.

Connor had picked out football cupcakes at the grocery store, so he got to have one that night.

Check out those blue lips and teeth. We needed a good tooth brushing that night.

Last week, Connor got to wear pajamas to school for pajama day. Nice dinosaur jammies buddy. He is officially into 4T jammies. 3 T is too short and tight.

Horsey rides with Daddy. Yee haw!

I also wanted to include one recent (30 week) baby bump photo. As you can see, this baby is really starting to show. It is kicking a ton now too. Unfortunately, I am starting to have some lower back pain and I'm having trouble sleeping, but this baby will be here before we know it. I am 31 weeks now and just 8 weeks from my scheduled c-section on April 5th.
