6 Months Old!

Mya turned 6 months old the day after Connor turned 3. Talk about tuggin' on this mama's heart strings! Too many milestones for one weekend!!



She is getting more and more fun every day! She is such a little diva and thinks the world should revolve around her. She wants to be the center of attention at all times which is adorable and a pain at the same time. ;) She is playing more and can usually entertain herself for 30 minutes or so at a time. Hahah, however she tends to only do that 2 or 3 times a day. The rest of that time, she wants to be held and entertained.

6 Month Facts:

- SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT!! Usually from 7pm to 6-7am
- Size 2 diapers.
- Still wearing 3 month clothes - most still have plenty of room.
- up to 4-5 6z bottles a day.

- Eating solids like a champ. Although she can be a stinker when I give her things she's not a fan of (green veggies).

- Still sleeping with her seahorse and her lovey. 

- Still a Daddy's girl.

- Never wanted the binky so we stopped trying a while ago.

- Usually loves the car.

- Loves to grab faces and noses and "talk" to you.

- Loves toys that light up and play music. 

- Plays in the jumperoo thing for about 30 minutes a day. 

- Puts EVERYTHING in her mouth! Including her hands, shirt, and toes during eating time...fun.

- Puts herself to sleep happily at night but needs her butt patted for naps. 

- Sleeping almost exclusively on her belly. 

- Rolling all over the place and almost army crawling.
- Sitting unassisted for about a minute at a time. She still can't be left unattended sitting up (especially not with the new laminate flooring), but she is getting there! 

- Hair is filling in and growing!

- Starting to pull headbands off of her head and chewing on them.

- Still obsessed with the baby carrier. She doesn't like to sit in her carseat in a cart, she would much rather me wear her.

- Still the apple of our eye. <3

And a few from the past 2 weeks or so. :)

Daddy is hilarious!

And a rare one of my two little loves together. <3 (featuring the new floors!!)

Can't wait to see what this month brings baby girl!

Connor is 3!!

I cannot believe my baby boy is 3 (June 8)! He has turned into such a fun, silly little boy with so much personality (and attitude ;). It seems like just yesterday, he was the tiny bouncing baby that Mya is. I swear I still look at him at least once a day and think a. I still can't believe he is MINE and b. I can't believe what a little person he has become. He has his own thoughts, his own likes, and an amazing memory. He can hear or see something once and he'll remember it weeks later. It's crazy!

 

Life with a 3 year old Connor <3

- Goes through toy/movie phases all the time. He likes to keep up guessing what his favorite toy/game/movie will be this week.

- This week he is a huge Smurfs fan.

- Can't get enough of outdoor sports. He asks me or Pat to play baseball or golf at least 10 times a day.
- Loves mini golf and bowling.

- He is currently on a mac & cheese kick and wants it for lunch and dinner every day.

- LOVES breakfast sweest! Pop Tarts, donuts, waffles, french toast, pancakes (the kid can seriously eat 10 mini pancakes at a time), cereal, granola bars (ya know, the ones loaded with chocolate and/or peanut butter)...anything that will rot his teeth out of his head.

- He loves to love his baby sister. He melts my heart at least 3 times a day with things like "Hi baby girl!" "It's ok Mya, I coming" and "Goodnight, Mya. Wuh you." 

- He sleeps in a big boy bed (has since 22 months or so) with the door closed and a small nightlight. He comes in our room once in a while early in the morning (4 am or so) and sleeps between us until he wakes up. I secretly hopes he comes in sometimes and find I'm a tiny bit disappointed when I wake up in the morning and he's not there. With the exception of his awful dragon breath, I love waking up to his tiny little face in mine. ;)

- He loves to watch sports. He frequently requests that we watch golf or baseball.

- He loves Wheel of Fortune ("Letters") and gets super excited when there are W's in the puzzle. He has had a strange fascination with them since he learned the letter. I find it adorable. He yells "WOOK! A W!!!" Anytime he seems one on a sign. ;)

- He has learned "whatever" and for some reason I find it hilarious when he uses it. It's never said with attitude so I think it's funny coming out of a tiny little person. 

Connor: We don't have to buckle up?

Me: Yes, we do. 

Connor: Whateber.

Haha always said with a silly little smirk. 

- Daddy is still his best friend. Although Papa and Grammy are both a close second...and third I guess. He asks for Daddy at least 10 times a day and goes crazy when he comes home in the evening.

- Loves to terrorize his puppies. I have to tell him about 672 times a day "We don't hit the puppies!" and "Leave them alone!" 

He is my crazy little ball of energy. He makes my world a brighter place (and can usually sometimes drive me crazy ;) and I don't know what I would do without him. He is my best friend and I am in love with watching him grow up and do new things. I am so proud to call him mine. Happy Birthday baby boy. <3

One of the very few pictures I took at his party. I was so busy, I never walked around with my camera. :(
