Funny video

Conner has learned to blow rasberries on something and make the fart noise. It's so funny and he gets such a kick out of it. This video kind of sucks but he is just to funny!

Conner is 14 months!

I can't believe how grown up my baby is! He'll be 14 months on the 24th. It's been amazing watching him grow and learn new things. He's got quite the personality and a huge attitude. He yells at you if he doesn't get what he wants and he whines quite a bit. But all around he's a really good baby. He loves to eat. Always had. He's getting huge and so independent. He's amazing. He likes to talk on phones, except when people are on them...haha. He's gabby, but doesn't say many words yet. Other than, hi, Dada, this, that and what. He has said "whos this" and "whats that" and I believe he had said "want this". He'll only say Mom when he is whining he says "Mom mom mom" so he is cabable just reluctant. lol He's stubbon....No idea where he gets that from. ;) He's working on cutting out a nap, Mommy is totally not ready for that! He loves having his big Sister here, and can't wait for Grammy and Grandpa and Auntie Jess to come visit! He loves to fun around and play and get into everything. Bath times and outside play are his favorite. Oh and he has became obsessed with his paci. It's going to be REAL fun to take that away! He's doing great! Here are a few new pictures of him. :)

Conner on his phone

I took this video on my cell phone..It's not the best but so funny. He's such a goofy boy!

Summer Fun!

We bought Conner this slip 'n slide last week. It was only $9 so we figured why not and he loves it! He's getting better with being pushed down it. The first time we did it he tried to crawl. Haha But he's getting better. He likes to walk down it and let the water hit his face more than he does to slide down it. He just loves being outside period.

We've got a climber!

Disclaimer: Don't mind our sweet snowfalk pillow cases..lol... Or my bra on the couch at the end of it..Focus on Conner haha! Oh and the cable to the lap top since our wireless router doesn't work. That's a vent for another day!

Anyways..

I was in the kitchen making jello watermelon for our 4th of July tomorrow. My cell phone was ringing in the living room but I was busy so I didn't go answer it. I looked over into the living room to find Conner sitting on the couch with my cell phone. This is the first time he had ever climbed up there before. It was so crazy to look in and see him sitting there playing with my phone! So now he's gotta learn how to get down so he doesn't fall off. So here's my big boy!

Conner reading his book

Turn your volume up!

Not the best video because it's from my cell phone and I didn't want to get to close and make him stop reading it. But this is Conner reading his book out loud. He just started doing this yesterday. I love it!

My Family

We're all doing great. Conner is about 13 months now. He's doing awesome. Still not saying much. He says Dada and refers and knows that Eric is Dada. He also points at things and says "this" and I am pretty sure he is starting to say hi but not really saying it as hi to someone. He loves his pool. We have a bigger one that we get in with him, but he can also walk around in it as well. He can get dunked now and not choke on water. Although he knows at the count of three that he is going under and whines now so we don't do it. lol He's awesome though and is our world!

Eric's enjoying being back in Battalion. It kind of sucks at times but he's much happier here then he was in Spain. We sometimes miss Spain, but are enjoying the States. We are finally going to have visitors this summer and I am super excited. Patty might be coming down, still not sure yet. My best friend Jess will be down here the middle of August with her boyfriend, Gary. CAN'T WAIT! And then a week after they leave my Mom and Dad will be down here! We are so excited! Our friends from Texas (we just went to their wedding) may be coming in for a little visit before Summer is over too. It's great!

So all in all we are doing awesome. Happy and healthy and that's all that matters! We're holding strong and going through the rough patches that life keeps throwing at us. We can make it through anything! I'm blessed to have such an amazing Family and amazing friends.

Fingerpainting with Conner!

A friend told me the recipe so we decided to try to tonight and he loved it. Thank God we did it outside because he made a huge mess out of all of us and the ground! But it's my first fridge art from my baby so I am excited! :)

Here are a few pictures from the lovely event!

Conner's one year well baby

Conner had his appointment today and is now 22 lbs 14 oz and 30 1/2 in long. He is doing great! She said he is the perfect weight for his height. But I knew he was perfect anyway. ;) He had to get 4 shots today and blood drawn to check his iron. He cried but did good! He's a good boy. He's definitely Toddler now and hits and pinches. Oh what fun! But he's doing well. We're still working on talking. But he's still doing great and we're just enjoying the Summer weather! I'll post some pictuers of him in his pool another time!

Conner cracking up at Daddy

Yet another Conner video! The first laugh was the best but we weren't expecting but at least he kept laughing so I could get it on camera. He's getting so giggly...Mostly when he sleepy. He doesn't crack up like this often enough! Gotta love this little boy!

Our baby is one!

Well last Sunday it happened...Our baby boy turned one! It's amazing how fast it went, but yet I can't picture our lives before him. Seems like he has been with us forever. He's amazing in so many ways. He's a little comedian and always has us laughing. He still doesn't talk much, but we're hoping he'll get there eventually! Conner had a great Birthday in West Virginia with all of our Family. He got many new toys and lots of cute clothes. He LOVED his cake. Conner is also having a party tomorrow with a few friends down here. Nothing big. It should be fun. We're looking forward to another amazing year with our little guy. I love watching him grow and learn new things daily! Conner is also finally sleeping through the night. It only took a year. Haha. That's the best present he could have given us! :P We love watching his own little personality shine through. He's just amazing!

Conner is almost one!

I can't believe that Conner will be turning one in 11 days! I am so excited and ready for the next step in his life. He's such an amazing little boy. He's so smart. He is rotten as all get out, but he has such a great personality. We think he's going to be the class clown. He's a little jokester already! He's just a big goof. He walks around like he's been doing it his whole life. He loves to play by himself, but loves to play with you more. Conner will be having two parties. One in West Virginia at our Family Reunion, and one down here in Mississippi with a few close friends. We can't wait to see all of our Family and have everyone finally get to meet Conner. I'll also get to meet my Cousin's baby! We've missed so much since being in Spain. It's nice to be back in the States but I sometimes miss it. I had high expectations for being back down here and I've been let down quite a bit, but that's life. We're just trying to get settled back into Battalion life. Eric's first deployment will be the beginning of next year. It's still a bit away, but it makes me sad everytime I think about it. It's going to be hard, but we can do it. Well that's us for now! I'll update after Conner's Parties & his 1 year appointment!

When you say "Oww" it hurts his feelings. lol He hurt me and I screamed oww and he cried. Drama king! But it's so funny. He's not a good faker, it's pitiful actually! haha Note the end of it...Hilarious this kid is the most rotten kid I have ever met! I have no clue where he got it from. ;)

11 months old

Conner is now 11 months old! It's crazy that next month we will be celebrating our babies first Birthday! I am so excited and proud! It's been a crazy ride but we've loved every minute of it! Conner is now completely a walker. He is saying Dada and knows it's Eric now. He'll repeat it when I say Daddy. It's so cute! He says Mama but not as much as Dada. We can also get him to say uh oh but that's rare. He is *kind of* waving, or at least trying too. Conner is teething and getting his top two in. They are giving him a heck of a time so he's been crabby and not sleeping well. Poor guy! Well that's about it. Here are a few pictures from our trip to the park & beach! :)

Our trip home

Conner and I went to visit Ohio for a week! It was so much fun and was so great for everyone to see how big my little guy has gotten. He was walking before, but perfected it while we were home. He loved being with Grandma and Grandpa! They just ate him up and he loved everyone minute of it! He was spoiled rotten, but it's the same way at home. ;) He always had everyone laughing. I sure wish we could be closer to home, all the time. But that's the life of a Military Family! Sucks at times. But we plan on going home, hopefully again in October. But Grandma & Grandpa are coming down to MS in September! We can't wait! Oh and can you believe it...Conner will be one, in about a month! It's so exciting and we're going to be planning and buying things soon. His first party will be in West Virginia because of the Family Reunion. Kind of works out perfect so we can have a Family party! Can't wait to see everyone! And everyone in Ohio...We miss you already!!

Conner's goofy self!

Conner started tucking his head down and crawling like a mad man the other day. This video doesn't give it justice but it's SOOOO funny! He's such a goof. Right at the end of the video when it cuts off he rammed into the door frame. :( Poor guy. It was funny, but only after he stopped crying. lol He's just a ham!

We have a walker!

Conner is now a walker. He walks any chance he gets. He doesn't walk to far without falling, and then he'll crawl of course but anytime he stands up, he lets go to walk. It's so awesome! We love watching him walk around, he looks so cute. Growing up so quick! So at 10 months our baby is walking! Soon he'll be walking everywhere and we won't be able to stop him! haha.

Surprise!

Conner and I are going to Ohio for a week. Mom & Dad bought us a ticket and we'll be heading to Ohio in 10 days. [Dear Kaden you HAVE to wait until after the 21st, okay that's an order. I know Mommy hurts and is ready but Auntie Cindy needs you to wait ;) ] We got an awesome ticket that has no stops! It's a short visit, but it'll be so much fun. I can't wait for everyone to see Conner and how much he has changed since January. So there you have it... Surprise we are coming home!

Funny faces

Conner was being a goofball today and making all kinds of funny faces and smiling really big. Little cheeser! So here are a few pictures. A litte update on Conner man... He is almost walking! He takes probably 7 or more steps before falling but he tries and tries all the time. Just recently started trying on his own. He eats mostly table food, never really baby food unless it's a fruit or dessert. He also has had the toddler meals and really likes those. He loves fruits and veggies. I think he might be a Mama's boy, but loves when Daddy comes home. He started sleeping through the night, thank the Lord! He started that really about 9 1/2 months. Right now he has 3 teeth (you can see the top on in pictures). He's working on the other side to come in. Teething sucks. lol But he still stays in a pretty good mood though. He's just amazing. These last 10 months with him have been nothing short of perfect. It's been a long road at times but I wouldn't have it any other way!

Conner can copy

So Conner has started to copy what you do with certain things. Today we did "nooo" and he'd shake his head. It's so cute! He is such a rotten boy! Love 'em more than life itself!!
