Catching up

Wow, I'm not doing so good at keeping this thing updated! It's been about 2 months since the last post and a lot has happened!

August

My baby turned 1 on August 5!! It's crazy to think he's a toddler now! We had a big monster bash party for him and many of our wonderful friends came to celebrate with us. I went a little overboard with the theme, but it was fun (and he only turns 1 once!).

Conall got a lot of toys, books, and clothes but wasn't the biggest fan of opening up the presents. He wanted to play with each thing he got and became frustrated when I would make him move on to the next present.  We had the cutest monster cake for Conall and he was completely uninterested in eating it, it was way more fun to play with!
Overall it was a really fun time and he had a blast! Thank you to all who were able to take part in celebrating his birthday!

The week after his party Jordan's parents (Poppy and Dorie) and sister came for a visit. Conall loved playing with them and getting all their love and attention. It was a short visit, but a fun one! At the end of August we visited them and spent a little more time together. Conall was just starting to take a step or two. He loved torturing loving on their dog Aida. She is a sweet dog that will literally let Conall do anything to her. Our dogs at home love Conall, but would rather not have him tug at them or attack them (out of love, of course).

September

This month has really flown by!  Our mommy/play groups started back up this month which has provided some much needed structure for our weekly plans.

 

Conall has also started walking! It's taken a few weeks but he's pretty good at it now! He' mostly walking everywhere, but will occasionally crawl too. His nickname at the gym nursery is Conall the Destroyer, because he gets into everything, all the time! And it's true. He's just recently really begun to climb up things (such as the fireplace) and really keeps us on our toes.
