Konnor is 9 months

Really he is 10 months now but I only have 9 month stats so...  He weighs 21 lbs and he is in the 90th percentile for height.  In other words, he is really big and I need him to start walking so I don't have to carry him.  I know I don't want to rush things but the boy has to get lugged to everything and he is really heavy.  My arms are getting a great workout. 

I just re-read the blogs from when the other two and the consensus is that my kids like to eat.  Konnor is eating like a champ and he eats basically whatever we are eating.  I don't think I have found anything he doesn't like.  We are only lacking in the sippy cup department.  He wants no part of them.  Two months before bottles have to go away.  Scary thought!!!

Favorite toy- the stacker and balls

Favorite place - upstairs with the kids

Favortie food - tough...maybe banana

He says both dada and mama but I don't know if it is deliberate.  He is napping and sleeping great.  He pulls up on everything and is constantly getting new bruises.  Yesterday he pulled a candle over and it broke and he got a new bruise.  He giggles at just about anything Kenzie does and even when she tackles him he doesn't get upset.


He doesn't like when we take away the phone or getting dressed.  He thinks that is real torture. 




He is crawling most of the time but he still occasional belly slides when he gets in a real hurry.  He is not real good with strangers but he has made a few friends at Klayton's baseball games and Kenzie's school.

That's all for now.  After all it is Kenzie's birthday so I need to post about her.  Stay tuned

The Monster Truck Show

Everyone who knows anything about me knows that I am eternally grateful to my amazing mother in law.  So her birthday should be a huge deal but we seem to fail miserably every year.  She is  just hard to buy for (grandma if you are reading, sorry but it is true). So this year Kevin thought she would enjoy watching the kids laugh at a monster truck show.  Well... She wasn't so interested.  She thought it would be better to stay home with Konnor.  Maybe what she is trying to say was she wanted some peace and quiet :) So we went to the truck show without her and the kiddos thought it was awesome.  It was a little loud and a whole lot redneck but we did it. 

The arena was a little small for much racing but we still had the highlights .  
4 wheeler races

Now they will be monster truck show fans for years.  Great :)
