My New Baby Brother

i met Connoll for the first time on Feb 16th at 11a in the hospital where he was born. In the hospital, I didn't know what to think of him. It was kinda scary for me. Now that he is home, I am better around him. I play around him alot but I kiss him or touch his head lots just not long enough to let mama take a pic!! :) It took her 5 days to get our first pic together cause I don't sit still to get a pic taken very well. As time goes on, I might just cooperate enough to get more pic with my baby brother to share with you all. As he grows, I know we will have so much fun playing together!!

Grandma and Auntie's Visit

Me and my Grandma Dougherty

Destroying and eating the gingerbread house we made with Grandma and auntie. It was so yummy and we all had a fun time breaking it apart to eat it!

We had such a fun time while grandma and auntie visited. Even though I didn't take to them right away, once I learned who they were, I loved to play with auntie. I would run right over to her, put my hands up and want to be held by her. She played with me lots. She would throw me up in the air, pretend to drop me, swoop me under her legs. She always knew how to make me laugh. She was always helping mama entertain me when I would be grumpy or could get me something to eat. I can't wait until I get to see them again.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

I needed to update my blog but really have nothing to update you on so I will post a pix of how much I have grown.

I am 19 1/2 months old. I am going to be a big brother in Feb. I can't wait to meet my new baby brother or sister. I'm gonna help mama and daddy with the new baby any way I can. Already I know how to clean up my toys, go to bed/sleep on time, I'm learning so many new words and will copy anything you say (I understand more than I say though), I tell mama if I have peed or pooped in my diaper (soon I'll learn to go in the potty), get my shoes off the shelf, eat up all my food and try not to be messy :). I love trucks, cars or anything with wheels.
I am super excited for Christmas and have gotten all my presents bought. I got something super special for my big sister, Madisyn and I bought a gift for "bumpy". I have been such a good boy this year, I can't wait to see what Santa brings me. We are going to have Christmas morning on Dec 18th cause my grandma and auntie from Canada are coming to visit and we wanted to share our christmas with them. I have not seen them since I was 1 month old. They are gonna be so surprised as to how big I have gotten.

TRICK-OR-TREAT

My costume for Halloween is a monkey. We are going to have spider & tombstone pizza, wormy apples and punch with hands in it for dinner then trick-or-treating with my cousins. If I am good for mama, I might let her take a picture of me in my costume but sometimes I just don't like to sit still!!! :)
HAPPY HALLOWEEN

My own room

My big sister, Madisyn, moved out of our room so now I have my own room too. Mama moved my crib around so our play tent could be set up with all my toys and chairs in it. For christmas, I'll get a toddler sized bed and start sleeping in it before the new baby arrives. I can't wait for a new baby brother or sister but until then I'll enjoy the room all to myself!!

Kian in the pool

Kian loves the pool, so much in fact that he screams and cries when we try to get him out. He loves to sit in his floatie and be bounced or be thrown up in the air. Sometimes it's easier to just strip off his diaper and put him in the pool, as we did in this video. So warning, there is some nudity!!!
