21 months and an update

Well Conner is now 21 months old! I can't believe that totally slipped my mind with all of this deployment stuff and moving stuff going on. Wow.. In 2 1/2 months my baby boy will be 2 years old. I can not believe it! He is growing so quick and changing daily. I just watch him sometimes and can't believe how big he is and how smart my little man is.

Conner knows most of his body parts. He really likes singing "Head, shoulders, knees, and toes... Eyes, ears, mouth, nose..." He loves it. Although anytime he hurts anything he says "knee knee" even if it's his head...lol He can say most of them, but points to all of them. It's the cutest. He still isn't counting much.. He'll copy you, but he will always say "two three" on his own.

Conner has turn into the evil toddler...lol I think a lot of it has to do with Daddy being gone. He's just so angry and gets frustrated easily. I've been trying to just be supportive because I know he has went through so much with Eric leaving, watching his house be packed up, the travel up here, and living in a new place. Although he loves being with his "mawmaw" and "papa". He loves when my friends visit, he gets so excited to see everyone. So all in all he is doing good. Just a few bumps in the road but we're holding each other together.. for the most part. ;)

We are now 2 1/2 weeks into deployment. Longest two weeks ever. Sometimes it feels like so much longer, but other times I am like wow at least that much time has already past.

I've recently had some AMAZING women pull through for me, and show me how much support I truly do have. 16 women that I know online got together and sent me beautiful flowers (my favorite, stargazer lilies and tulips) and they got me this cutest journal that I can't wait to start writing in. I also received some amazing words of encouragement from them. I am so thankful to have all of them in my life. It truly helps waking up everyday knowing that I have these amazing women in my life there for me. Knowing I can go to any of them if I just need some support or someone to listen to me. It just leaves me speechless. They touched me more then they'll ever know.

So I guess we're all doing good. Eric is hanging in there. We all have our good days and our bad. He calls me everyday. Although the selfish part of me wishes it were more..lol.. I am thankful to have that 15 minute phone call everyday. Soon he will have internet so hopefully we can chat and do webcam more. We just love and miss him so much. He's our hero!
