Green Meadows, birthday party, and 9 months!

2 weekends ago, we were invited to 2 parties that happened at the same time. One up in Chilton, the other down in Gurnee. So we split up and  I took Conrad to my friend Dana's husbands birthday party and Pat and Branko went to Eddies 4th birthday party. I don't have any pics that were from Eddies party, but here is Conrad enjoying the magician. 

Otto and Conrad-only 2.5 months apart

Otto, Amelia, and Conrad. Conrad and Amelia are about 3 weeks apart.

That weekend Auntie Kelly and Nole were over and we sure had one really sad boy saying goodbye to Nole. Branko has been loving our neighbors dog, Cooper, and we were contemplating getting a dog. Branko loves saying all our names and goes "Dada, Momma, baby, Branko, Cooper, Max, Ava" (Ava and Max are our neighbors).  After having Nole over for the weekend (he's a really good dog) we decided it would be too much for us. So if you ever need a dog sitter and you're dog is good with kids, we'll gladly watch them!

Waiting for our dinner

My attempt at having more Branko pics after my last post of not having many. I can at least get him to stay still in the high chair! We had a ton of leftovers from Dana's party-so here is Branko eating some dessert-well mostly frosting.

Pics from Grandma!

Morning coffee date with Conrad

After Conrad's nap, we met up with some of the Kreusers and Bjorn's at Green Meadows. It was a Wednesday and Branko was at daycare. We've used up or have our vacation dates all planned out for the year. Our daycare makes you pay even if their closed for Presidents Day or Labor Day-so they get used up quick! We spent a lot of time in the corn, very therapeutic.

Birthday buddies!

These pictures sure are cute, but that poor kitten almost had his arm pulled out of it's socket!

This place was so clean and the workers were all so nice. Lots of different animals that you could pet, I'm excited to take Branko here.

All of the girls wanted to swing with Conrad, so this was short lived as he was ready to take a nap.

We sure had a good time at Green Meadows! Then, it was time to pick up Branko from school! He hates going to school and cries for "Grandma" or "Grandpa", but he always says he wants to go back.

Gotta catch that good lighting!

Notice all of the underwear, shorts, and swim trunks on Branko's leg during his nap. He likes to empty out his dresser and all of his books before he goes to sleep. I've gotten smarter and hung up all of his shirts in his closet for a faster/easier clean up!

Branko has been wanting to ride his bike or cars during our walks lately, he makes it about 3 houses before he's over it. Luckily, we have the 2nd seat in our stroller that doesn't get used very much since Brankos walking.

There's something about this mailbox that is intriguing for Branko. We have multiple pictures of him standing in front of it. Our neighbors probably think we're crazy.

Conrad is officially 9 months old and these pictures are getting hard! We're still working on getting him to babble, but he sure loves to shriek like a dinosaur. He's starting to pull himself up on furniture and slowly learning to army crawl/roll to get to what he wants. He popped his first 2 bottom teeth 2 weeks ago and they are SHARP! He's regressed in sleep and gets up once to eat and both boys have been early 5 AM risers making for 2 very tired parents. This month he has taken a turn in loving all kinds of table food and gets very upset if he can't get a bite. We take him to the doctor in a few weeks, so we'll find out his measurements then!
