he couldn't even keep his eyes open

This Sunday my mom & I helped throw a shower for our cousin Shelby; and as much as i love my son, i did not want to chase after him through a house that isn't childproof or keep him from begging for people's food (just like a dog, you would think i don't feed him!!)

My friend Amanda consented to babysitting him.  I love having friends w/ kids & we can trade babysitting.  He fell asleep on the car ride home, still asleep in the car to Amanda's.  Woke up while i was taking him inside, screamed in the pack-n-play....

I love that he hiked up his pant legs, so funny

...And fell asleep again on the way home from Amanda's.  bless his heart, we all went to bed early.  

This was my little brother's baby blanket, Connor is in love.

Are Sunday's hard for anyone else, re: naps?  What do you do to help with the cranky baby syndrome?

He CAN Walk! ... He just chooses not to.

Here's a picture of Connor last weekend - you know, when it was actually warm outside?  (I miss the warmth).  At 13 months, this was the first time he had ever stood by himself.  For the past few days he's been "walking/falling" from the couch to the ottoman.  its about a 2 ft space & he more falls than walks! But yesterday mom brought him to the office just to make sure he was well enough to return ot the babsitter (he had the stomach bug last week/this weekend - it made for a great spring break for me!!)

Anyway, He waslked a whole 4 STEPS!!!  and he did it again this morning!  so like i said, he can walk, he just chooses not to.  Crawling is still his #1 mode of transportation, right behind being held!!

slow and steady wins the race/it was Connor's bday! YAY!

Well, if you are having problems uploading pictures, just try uploading 2 at a time, maybe it will work! 

Connor's birthday turned out to be quite larger than i expected but we had a fun-filled day with friends & family that I will surely never forget.  

Connor was in a great mood in the morning, playing with his toys!

Loving on Curious George - so so sweet!!

i'm sorry for the delay in posts & i cannot express to you the frustration i have endurred due to blogger.com....

i have attempted a "birthday" post numerous times, but no pictures will upload!!!  I'm going to put the pictures on my thumb drive & post them whenever i get back to school - which won't be for like 10 days or so...

This week is spring break & Connor and i will be spending much-needed time together!!  My life is so full of school/work that i usually only spend fridays with Connor, that's enough to make a Moma sad, so this week, i'm happy!

look for our birhtday pictures soon!

much love, us
