Thanksgiving weekend and first smiles!

 
Wow, the holiday season is here! What a great/cozy time to be on maternity leave! We went down to Patrick's mom on actual thanksgiving and then spent the next day at my parents. 

These snuggles will never ever get old.
Bath time to wake up the sleeping baby before bedtime. We had a few nights where Conrad was up for at least 5 hours total throughout the night. He would not go back to sleep, making for two sleepy parents. We've really watched his wake windows now to be sure he's up for at least an hour a few times a day.




Kisses for baby bro!

My only picture of Branko in his Thanksgiving outfit.

World Cup during Thanksgiving this year as it was in Qataar, one happy guy here! I'm pretty sure he is watching the Serbia game, which they lost..
Another Branko hand-me-down outfit. Take a look at the double chin in these pictures!



Now the Friday after Thanksgiving, Branko hanging out with the teen girls
Branko and Uncle Andy playing music together. Branko took a liking towards Uncle Andy this year and really like to punch him.





 The next day, we set up our tree and wore our matching Christmas PJs. I bought an additional pair I'm hoping will fit Branko in 2 years- so we don't have a million family xmas PJs


Playing with snapchat filters and using the baby face filter to see if we look alike..


Conrad starts taking naps in his crib! His first time I had to wake him up after 2 hours for him to eat! But typically, we get about 45 minutes to an hour and 15 minute naps

The best family photo we could get in our matching PJs. Branko looks like he's having fun, but he wanted nothing to do with it and is really throwing a temper tantrum.


Dancing to Christmas music
I thought for sure Branko would be more interested in the tree this year, but he just liked to put ornaments on our heads. 



Battle wounds from Branko


Poor guy- they did heal within 4-5 days though!


Gosh, hes gotten sooo big!


I think I posted this, but here it is again! Definitely brothers!


Grandma and Conrad snuggles! Conrad just started purposely smiling, this was the first time he had multiple smiles in a row, Grandma has the touch!

A little bit of life in Feb/March

  Someone got into the red paint post bath.. Fun trip to the library This wall had them entertained for a while Conrads a bit more of a nurturer than his brother Get in m belly! Farm fresh eggs from Taylor! Branko has been a huge super hero lover these days. He has 6 stretchy small super heros that I actually got for Conrad for valentines day. The material its made out of gets full of lint and hair, so Branko gives them "baths". Playing with the outdoor lights. There was a crazy storm one night and Branko set up Hulk/Ironman in the window to watch the storm with him. I thought I had a picture of it, I guess not! Pics from school :) Our photo frame is always a big hit with the boys Panera (or First Watch) with Grandma Conrad is so proud of himself getting the coins in the piggy bank A normal night in super hero capes and Conrad climbing on the end table/couch My oldest is getting too big to carry :( Enjoying a rare solo bath Culvers, yummmm Enjoying the spring air! Conrad is n...

 On Wednesdays, Branko has daycare, leaving me with the two younger boys. To be honest, having all three of them is easier than juggling the younger two by myself. Conrad is at a tough age right now where he wants all of my attention and gets aggressive/jealous when I need to feed or hold Michael. On this particular day, we needed to get out of the house, so Conrad led us through Target. He ran away twice, which was fun chasing him with the doona stroller. Thankfully, it wasn't busy! I hate the running away phase! We also went to my favorite coffee shop. Meanwhile, Branko learned about trains at school and was excited to go to his mama's house as his destination. Michael has started to be more alert these days. I just LOVE his eyes Superhero brothers! Our neighbors who live behind us babysit for us sometimes and this particular day Carsen was on spring break and lent a hand on a Friday where it was me and all three while Patrick was working. She played with the older boys and h...

Disney World and baby #3!!

Image
Both boys fell asleep as soon as we landed.... in Orlando. We waited for everyone to get off the plane before waking up these sleeping beauties. We started the trip out rough, I was super sick with no energy the day before we left and Patrick had the same symptoms the day we left. I think we may have had Covid after hearing what other people's symptoms were after we got back. I didn't want to bring their car seats, so we booked a bus to take us from the airport to our hotel. NEVER AGAIN! (at least while the boys are this young). We waited in the airport for the bus for an hour and a half. Recipe for disaster after waking up early, driving to Midway airport, being on a plane, waiting in line for the bus, and then sit on the bus to get to the resort. It was a lot and not a great way to start the trip. We'll get a car rental next time. Yes, we thought about an uber, but they only have options for 1 carseat. We stayed at the Contemporary Resort to be on the monorail and close t...
