Happy Reformation Day!! :)

So we took Connor to my Dr. appt today in his costume...

He was a Dinosaur!!! :)

 He was a hit at the hospital!  He made all the sick old people happy! :)

 HAHA Oh my goodness!  It looks like he's saying 'I didn't know dinosaurs could blow fire out THAT end... har har har'  He already says 'NICEEEE' really loud if he burps or passes gas... sigh... no one taught him that... I swear.

Then we took him 'trick or treating' to three people we knew :) The Mortons, the Stiles and Rich and Michelle's.

Connor was a good little trick or treater!

It helps to have a very welcoming crowd... :)

Connor was loving taking the candy out of the black bucket and putting into his green bucket!  They were very generous!

Then we went to the Morton's home and he was just as excited to take their candy! hahaha

Meredith was such a good sport! :)

 We ended up at the Stiles home where we watched the football game and ate wings. :)

Connor was WIRED!  Oh my goodness!!!!  He was running around like a wild man!  Figured we'd let him get it out before the baby gets here and have a night of sugary fun! :)

Still waiting on Vale and glad that he wasn't born on the 31st... the doctor's appt today went well.  Doc said could be any time, 2cm dilated and having lots of brackston hicks and a couple sporadic 'real' contractions.

18 Months Old

Connor went to his 18 month check up yesterday and here are his stats:

31" Tall (15 percentile)

21.4lbs for weight (3 percentile)

49.5cm head circumference (90 percentile)

The doctor said that although he is small, he's very healthy and we don't need to feed him any special food or anything just lots of fruits and veggies!

He said he is very advanced developmentally :)  He's a smart little bugger!

He had shots so he wasn't feeling all too peachy yesterday... he just wanted to cuddle in a blanket on the couch.  Notice father and son have the same expression as they watch football highlights on youtube... :)

Vale also had a doctor's appointment yesterday! 

(ok well maybe it was me that had the appt but hey...)

The doc said I was barely 1cm dilated but is hoping I come before my due date.

They are estimating the baby to be from 8 to 8 1/2 lbs.

I'm pretty sure the baby dropped last night but this pregnancy has been so different it's hard to tell.

Counting today, I am 18 days away from my due date.

He said they won't let me go over more than a week and a half so here's hoping baby comes on time.

I've been so tired with this pregnancy but have had an acute inability to sleep!

I don't remember being THIS uncomfortable at night when I went to bed before.

It's prob cause the baby is bigger.

Obsession with Football Much...??

So Connor this morning was throwing a fit because he wanted to watch youtube highlights of football!  

Yup that's right... he's obsessed just like dad!

I even put Elmo on and that wasn't good enough!

He was finally happy with the UofM vs. ND highlights... 

I tried to look up Steelers stuff but there were too many fan pictures in them.  He wanted to watch FOOTBALL!

Anyway, all that to say, we took him to the park on Saturday and let him run around with the football and this other little steelers ball.  He had so much fun! :)

 Here is his QB stance... :)

Very cute!

Little Guys Daily Activities

Connor is getting 7 new teeth!!

He's got 5 right now that you can see pictured below but he's got more coming and boy is it FUN!

Little mister attitude loves to spin in circles, stomp around, dance and laugh at himself.  He is quite a character.

Connor LOVES to play with daddy.  This is one of the most common 'torture devices' from dad, beard burn on the feet.

Connor likes to play out on our deck and smudge his face all over the glass. :)  

He is copying everything you say and there are some lovely things that he remembers.  Jimmy and his buddy Jason often say, "Niiccee", well guess who says it too!!!  That's right, Connor! :)  When you tell him, 'I love you' he replies with "Love Me!" :)  Jimmy likes to play around and say 'yo yo yo' and guess who's picked that one up too??  You guys are so smart, that's right!  Connor!  So yup, we have an Italian sounding thug with a narcissistic complex.

Connor know's where Vale is!

Connor is learning SO many words and will copy almost anything you say!  It's really cute.  He knows who the 'baby' is and where it is; he actually says Vale quite well but it kinda sounds like Bill...
