Nana's Birthday

Nana's birthday is our annual St. Patrick's Day celebration!  This year, we had the party at Papa's new home and everyone met for lunch in their green. 

Caylee wore her new green bow that everyone loved and she pigged out on salad from Grammy.

We took some group photos while we waited for the food.

After lunch, we sang Happy Birthday and Connor sat on Nana's lap like he always does.



They got down to one candle and couldn't blow it out!



As usual, the kids were quite the attraction for all the people at the retirement home.  Connor had a great time interacting with everyone and helping Nana open her birthday gifts.  By 1:00, we could tell he was exhausted...

First Hairbow!

She pretty much has no hair, but she has just enough on the top for me to get a tiny little bow in now!

You can tell how much she loves it too!

So that gave me an idea...

Mama must make more bows in every color now!

St. Patrick's Day bows were first on the list. 
Done!

Our Weekend

We had a fun weekend as a family!

Friday night, we went to Friday's for dinner.  Caylee got to sit in a highchair after she woke up from her nap and she sampled a few foods from my meal.

Connor requested mac & cheese and oranges for dinner.

We went to Walmart for groceries and Caylee did great in the shopping cart!
On Saturday morning, the kids did some tummy time together and Connor tried to show Caylee how to crawl.

She got up on her hands and knees for the first time!  She's definitely scooting backwards and rocking now, but she's not quite moving.

I took her for spring/9 month photos in her pretty party dress and new shiny pink shoes (pics coming soon!) and she did great!  She wore the dress when we got home, but I took off all the accessories.

After nap time, we promised Connor we could go outside and try out his green truck that he got for Christmas.

We also did a little t-ball practice since classes are starting up soon.  He's hitting pretty well, but we really need to work on catching.

He's so sweet with her :)  He loves to put this necklace on her and I when he finds it in his toy box.

That old calculator comes in really handy as an extra "phone" when Connor wants to call someone.  He called Grammy and asked her how her day was.


In honor of March Madness, I took out the baby basketball set and we showed Caylee how to use it.  This has now become Connor's favorite toy again.  Funny how the baby toys come back and he loves them all over again!
