Sew Cute Album 

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!!

yes, we are still here...

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

11 month pictures

I made the mistake - SCRATCH THAT - i had the pleasure of having Connor's pictures made every month to show how much he is growing.  This is a great idea, in theory, but it is quite time consuming!  You would think it would be easy to take him to get quick pictures at Portrait Innovations or JCPenney...but its not.  This month, Kate Nabors (soon to be Kate Whitmore) CAME TO US!!!  It was such a treat to not have to get Connor dressed & ready and deal w/ the stresses of making him smile in a different environment.  With Kate here, i just got to worry about him smiling while he played with his toys/destroyed his room.

We had fun.

Here's a link to Kate's Blog - Check out Connor's Pictures!!!

growing up and getting older

I know most of you read this blog to see the pictures & watch CJM as he grows - and hasn't he grown?  I'm just sitting here in bed wasting time on the internet & can't help but think back to when my baby was a baby and he didn't move a lot and he didn't make me sweat any time i try to change his clothes or diaper.  you think i'm kidding?  i'm not.

very soon he will be 1 year old and i will be a very sad moma.  i can't help it!  i KNOW he has to grow up!  He's a kid, he will love it when he grows up, but i'm not having another baby for a LONG time & i want to be able to cherish this time without letting it slip away.  

it seems like everyone is having babies or will be soon, so until Connor becomes the cuddle type (which is unlikely considering my lack of cuddle for my famiy) i will just have to take other babies and cuddle with them!  tomorrow it will be baby ella and in June it will be baby X jackson.

could someone make my baby shrink, pronto!

my sweet little sleeping baby
