Thanksgiving 2008 (albeit a bit late)

yes, ladies & gents, this is the Thanksgiving post...only a month late (or more). Here are the pictures of the day. We had a lot of fun with the close family. They were thrilled to share in Connor's first Thanksgiving! This was also the first day Connor ate "big boy" food from the table, but i still fed him. I like feeding him - that means he's still my baby :)

There's also a few fun things that i think are worth sharing since i think Connor is so darn cute!

Thanksgiving morning - playing in the saucer

Nunna coming in with the Dressing - YUM!!

morning snack: Cheerio's!!

talking (probably to himself)

Laughing at Mimi (our wonderful photographer at the time)

waiting on the real food, not just the bread

Connor's middle name should be MISCHEVIOUS...that's what he is!!

Here begins the pictures that are not necessarily from Thanksgiving, but are still cute!

Might be Thanksgiving even...can't remember.

getting so big!!!

Wondering why the drum is making noise...even though he just pitched it on the floor...wonder why??

Hanging out on the shoulders of Uncle Tyler. so fun!

Does this remind anyone else of Yogi Bear? because it does me!

Halloween - a full day!

Connor & I had a VERY full Halloween (hence the title). The day started off with Connor's 9 month check up with Dr. Collins and Nurse Keesha. I've been looking forward to the 9 mo ckup because there are NO SHOTS!!! only a quick, simple finger prick!

Mommy and Connor in front of MMC

Did i mention that Peds dresses up for Halloween?

Keesha is a tin woman!

One of my favorites. He was so well behaved on the scale

19 lb, 11 oz.

"helping" Dr. Collins with the stethoscope

Meet Jerry Collins: the Wizard

Connor & Dr. Jerry - one of the best smiling pics of the day!

the finger prick. he liked eating the band aid

Then, we went home so that Connor could take a much-needed nap. Being that i work at the clinic, appointments always take a while because we have to visit. and we LOVE to visit all of our friends, but by the time we left, Connor was ready to go to sleep!!! We changed him from his Charlie Brown outfit and put him in his "baby's first halloween" outfit. he was very cute, i must say.

Connor right after waking up. Can't you tell?

Looking at his Halloween basket like it's insane.

eating his Halloween rubber duck. i love rubber ducks, therefore, Connor has one for nearly every holiday!

Then, we changed back to the Halloween outfit! Charlie Brown, here we come!

love this! he's BOUNCING!

First we made a stop at MidSouth Bank.

Mimi's boss, Jennifer is holding Connor's back while he was typing

Connor likes to hang out w/ Snoopy. They are friends

Next we went to visit Connor's (Great)Aunt Clara.

She was so nice to get him a special treat!

Thanks for the puffs Aunt Clara!

Needless to say, that's all the Halloween i have right now. My camera went dead in the middle of trick-or-treating and the rest is on Pops's Computer. We'll update soon!

j u l y 4 t h

oh wow! this has been a crazy month and we are only a few weeks in! i started my new (full-time) job on July 1st. i'm only full time in july & i'm looking forward to august when i get a day or two off each week. i never knew how hard it would be to leave connor every day. i may act like it doesn't make me sad, but it does. :(

on another note, a great big THANK YOU to alison from connor & i. we can't wait to order our maggie moos mom appliqued shirt! ...now, just to decide what to get...

finally, our 4th of july festivites. they actually began on july 3rd where we went to our friends the castle's. wade does a HUGE fireworks show near barfield park & it was awesome! we were so close, and it was so bright, i debated going to the car to get my sunglasses. but, i didn't want to miss one second. sadly, connor misses these - he was inside asleep (slept right through them!!)

on july 4th we were lazy! it was a-mazing! my mom was wonderful & took care of connor so i could sleep in :) and we literally did nothing all day. i know that doesn't sound productive, but it was much needed in this household. i was getting used to waking up before dawn. and connor has been getting used to nap times that arent in his bed. its an experience for all...

i may have forgotten my camera on the 3rd, but i grabbed it for the 4th! our family stopped by my grandmother's work to visit our nunna (and all the sweet old people) and then we headed to MTSU for connor's first fireworks!
