16 months!

Conner is now 16 months old. It's hard to believe how fast time is going, and how big my baby is. He is 25 lbs and around 33" long. He has the best personality and loves to be outside. He also loves snacks and bath time. He has started getting into repeating words. He'll surprise the heck out of you when you say something to him and he repeats it back to you. He's rotten and stubborn but we love him anyway! ;) He loves being around people. He's not use to other kids because he's rarely around others but he plays pretty well with them. He loves attention and when he isn't getting it he'll find anything to do wrong to get your attention. He's funny and goofy. We are just loving every minute with him and taking it all in because really time just flies way to quick these days and in the blink of an eye he is getting bigger and bigger. He's great.

Hike!

This is how Conner says "hike". I think he's going to play football when he grows up!

Really

Conner has decided that he will finally say some words. He still refuses to say Mommy but oh well! :)

Conner used the big boy potty!

Yesterday we went grocery shopping and decided to pick up a potty for Conner. I know it's early but my child is stubborn so I figured I better introduce it early. Of course I know he really won't get what's going on, but I am hoping eventually he will understand.

Well today I put him on there and he didn't go. So when I had to go I decided we would go on the potty's together and I sat him on his potty and sat down and I heard his potty singing because he went tinkle on there!!!

I cheered and we clapped and we checked out what he did! He really had no idea why Mommy was so excited but he smiled and looked. I was so proud of him. I don't plan on pushing on him. Just sitting him on there randomly during the day, and when we go to the bathroom he can sit on his. I know it's going to be a long journey but I am super excited! :)

Of course I had to take a picture of his potty!!! Woo hoo Gooooooo Conner!!!!!!!

Hilarious!

Please excuse me laughing.. I was trying so hard to hold it in but it was WAY to funny! He wanted the socks so I put them on his hands.. It was hilarious. I'm a mean Mommy I know but it was funny.

Conner winking

He just started doing this the other day. At first we didn't know what he was doing until I winked at him and he started doing that back. He is to cute!

Sweet boy

Might need to turn the volume up he was being really quiet :)

Conner man mini update

Conner is doing really well! He learned a new bad thing... He can take his diaper off! lol He has been pulling at it for quite from time now but after being up a long time and not napping I peeked in to see him looking down so I looked down and ta da his diaper was on the floor. So now he must always have pants on! lol

He still is stubborn with talking. He has started saying uh-oh, and sometimes he'll say outside. I can't wait until he picks up more. I even think he has said "want that" but I'm not sure. He's rotten! He also barks when you say dog and makes monkey noises when you say monkey. He's an awesome little boy. He get more and more handsome everyday!


In other news. Eric will be leaving a lot over the next couple of months. In two weeks he'll leave for 2 weeks, and be back a week and then leave for another week and then be back a week and then leaves for 3. I hate it. Battalion life is so much different now then it was 3 years ago! I miss Spain all the time. I have been taking the separations a lot harder then I thought I would. I think most of that is the lack of support I have. But Conner and I will make it through together!

So that's our little update. Write more soon. :)

Grandma & Grandpa came!

Yep my Parent's finally came to visit us! After 6 years of waiting. :P But no really we had a great time. It was nice to have them visit us for a change, and see ours things and the life I have created since getting married 6 years ago. I hope I've made them proud. Conner LOVED all the attention from them. He loves his Grandma and Grandpa so much! <3 I wish we lived closer so he could see them all the time.

We mostly just relaxed at home together. We did take Conner to his first Zoo visit. He wasn't to interested in the animals (most of them were laying around or sleeping so he probably couldn't see half of them haha), but he loved running around and being loose. He did really well and was so good for us.

Mom and Dad were here for 8 days. Not nearly long enough! We look forward to seeing them again! Soon hopefully! :)
