Aurora's first year of preschool is over! How did that happen so quickly? And yet this past school year has at the same time felt like an eternity with her separation anxiety. I just can't believe how fast she is growing up...

We spent Memorial Day weekend in San Antonio with Matt's side of the family and it was just so sweet to see all the cousins together. It's also fun that Aurora is finally old enough to do some of the kids activities with her grandparents - really sweet memories being made.

Mothers Day was cute this year, Aurora talked about it for a few weeks before and tried so hard to keep my surprises quiet. Matt got me a new laptop and the kids and Dada took me out to brunch at Jax which I absolutely loved. Interestingly the kids both devoured a plate of mussels at brunch -- apparently Connor isn't really picky we just didn't realize he had such an expensive palate ;)

Things are going well with the pregnancy! I am now about 24 weeks so it's moving along pretty quickly. I am definitely not enjoying being pregnant as much this time around but I think that's more to do with chasing the other two around. I am also having a few complications that I haven't before like the nasty varicose veins on my legs…

-- Connor at 17 months --

Connor has his first true two word sentence! He has always said "gigit" for get it but I think to him that was more one word ;) In true second child style his first two word sentence was "Go Ro-Ro!"

This guy is killing me with his early wake ups. I don't even remember when it started but he has been waking up around 5 or 5:15 for quite a while now and I'm just tired!

He's still climbing on everything and now has started jumping. He loves to climb onto of a bolster and jump onto the big teddy bears we have.

He is officially on one nap. He will absolutely fall asleep if we are in the car too long around 9 or 10 but he can usually make it until 12 or 12:30 without much problem.

Just started saying Connor, which sounds more like "Ca-Ca"

A rare moment of sibling love.

He's been pretty clingy lately which causes the kids to be at each other's throats a lot. When they play they play well but it seems like those times are getting fewer and farther between. He does miss her a lot when she's not home though so that's cute.
