conrad jay - week 40

Conrad was the quietest bird watcher!

Last week started with the treat of visiting Wildcat Glades with our co-op friends!  Our boys love checking out everything in the Audubon Center and so it was even more fun to share it with friends!  The lovely, Megan Powers, from Megan Powers Photography got these great shots for us.  What a treat!

Ivan's favorite parts were definitely the rabbit and the fish and turtles.  I didn't even know she was taking this one!  Thanks for the sweet moment, Megan!

Conrad did great in his seat!  He's very go with the flow.  He even took a nap towards the end.  Just long enough that he didn't fall asleep in the car on the way home and still napped for nap time!!

"Mom, it's like my head is a coyote skull."  "Yes, yes it is."

After visiting the center, we headed out on a bird walk.  Surprise, surprise, we were too noisy to see any birds, but we did spot a few nests and heard them all around us!  

Here are my few phone pictures.  Ivan was quite a hoot.

We had a really good size group!  

It seems like most of our highlight reel are from being outside this week!  Who can believe these temperatures?  

Conrad made it out a couple of times too!  He definitely tried to eat some of those leaves and grass, but for the most part, he was just entertained by how they felt.  He's got a new spin move that he continues to improve upon.  Before we know it, everything will be off limits.

I thought we were all better, and then on Friday, Ivan threw up.  Blah!  When will this stomach bug leave us?  It was somewhat short-lived and he seemed back to normal on Saturday, although he continues to have diarrhea!

Jason had been promising a donut run on the first Saturday we were free.  This Saturday happened to be that time.  Amos was the only one who finished his donuts.  

If you were in the are on Saturday, you know that the weather was sooo nice.  We went for a scenic drive and ended up at Neosho's Big Spring park.  What a treat it was.

This picture describes all the boys' reactions to the ducks roaming around.  Amos was chasing them.  Ivan watched warily and Silas ran the other way.

We did some outside work on Sunday!  More time in the sun was good for our spirits.

"Should I put this in my mouth?"  Conrad has done a lot more babbling this week.  He's saying mama and dada.  We also think he's trying to say buh bye!  He sure hears a lot of carrying on, so it's no surprise that he wants to join in!

Monday morning brought an unwelcomed surprised.  Jason was staying home sick because of the stomach bug and Conrad had thrown up in the night.  Which he never cried out about, so I have no idea when it was happen!  It was pretty gross though.

Ivan had his special day yesterday. This involved making a trip to the store, getting a piece of candy and pretending to ride in the mickey car.  He thought it was awesome!
