catching up

well, i was informed by my mother today that i needed to update my blog... why exactly the timeliness of my updates bother her, i'm not sure - considering that we live with her!  but, regardless, she is right...i do need to update.  

life is busy busy busy!  connor recently began at a new daycare & i'm still at my new (but not so new) job.  this month i'll be working both full-time & part-time.  confusing?  yes.  basically, i'll be working all day, and the days i'm on the part-time schedule, i'll just work a little later.  this is kind of a bummer because that means a few days a week i don't get to pick connor up from daycare.  but, i still get to put him to bed, which is really important to me.  

regarding our title tonight, i;m posting pictures of an assortment.

prunes!  one of our favorites

connor is definitely on the move!  i put him down on his "activity gym" & i found him under the coffee table!

this is C's "almost" crawl...he just doesnt understand that he can MOVE from this position!

We wish you all a wonderful Monday!

family time

This past weekend, our cousin Johnnie came into town from Fort Worth.  She was here Friday, Saturday & Sunday.  We went to Miller's Grocery, Bell Buckle Cafe & visited my brother at Demos'.  and while all it felt like we did was drive & eat, it was really fun.  it was so great to see someone we only get to see about once a year!  here are some pictures from the weekend :)

Connor was so excited!

He was NOT the model child at restaurants, so 

we gave him lemon water (which he loved)

While Connor enjoyed his dinner, we had a small mishap.

squash Soup?

Can you guess what we started tonight?  (of course you can, you're smart!)

New foods are always fun because of 

a) the new face - which you will see

b) i have no "b"...but if you have an "a," a "b" is required.

I'll let the pictures explain.  (Adam - connor's dad - was here for this feeding.  C wasn't thrilled when someone new tried to feed him)

After the First Bite!

This is C's before the cry face - bestowed upon Adam when he tried to feed Connor

So, i took back over

This is just a fun picture

C grabbed his foot and the spoon & preceded 

to put the spoon in his own mouth

Maybe he'll potty train himself?

I do not understand blogspot sometimes!  What are these underlines for?

First: Baby Rice Cereal

So, i've had the Baby Cereal in the pantry for at least a month, just waiting for Connor to turn 4 months old.  Could i have fed him at 3 months?  Probably so.  But, i had a few questions to ask the doctor, so i waited.  Well, today was our appointment with Dr. Collins (i would have take pictures, but the battery went dead) and i got my questions answered

Here is a little piece of our day/night.  Hope you enjoy!

We had to sleep after our shots.  This wonderful, glorious sleep makes the shots all worth it for me

Getting ready for cereal!

After our yummy dinner, it was definitely time for a bath....no bath shots tonight, but i did manage to grab some towel time :)

We had a big day!  We walked about 3 miles to get the our doctor's appointment (parking was murder), got 3 shots, visited our friends at MidSouth Bank, surprised elizabeth at Penn Station, hung out with Aunt Sarah, & finally got to sleep...and well, you can imagine the rest. 

God Bless!
