My baby is 15 months old today!

Hard to believe that Conner is already 15 months old. He is doing great. He's got 10 teeth, two of those are molars. He is working on his bottom molars. Let me tell you molars are the worst ones yet! But he's actually been dealing pretty well. Little whiny but still a good boy. :) He's still such a busy body, but loves his sleep. He goes not stop until nap time or bed time. He loves to be outside which he doesn't get to do much because it's just to hot. He was outside the other day for 15 minute and woke up the next morning covered in heat rash. Poor little guy. He's such a Daddy's boy! And still only says the same words...Hi, this, that, ball, hot and Dada. Stubborn boy won't say Mama yet! Once he starts talking full blown we'll never get him to shut up though. He is so gabby! He's stubborn and doesn't listen but really is a good boy. He's got an amazing personality and is a little clown. I'm so lucky to be his Mommy and am thankful everyday for this blessing.

He learned to spin

Conner just randomly started spinning in circles today. It was so cute. So here's a short clip I caught on my cell phone of my silly boy spinning in circles. Man I love this kid!

Eric's Birthday

Eric turned 28 on the 17th. I decorated the house, baked him a cake and made him roast for dinner. He got his new Madden game he has been wanting and some wife beaters and boxers. He had a great Birthday and I am glad he felt special for a day. His cake wasn't anything f antsy but it was made from my heart so that's the best kind. :) Here are a few pictures from his day.

Just one shot of the decorations

Conner enjoying Daddy's cake ;)

Being silly

Watch Conner's face...It cracks us up! It's not the best video because my phone sucks but it's still funny. The end is the best! :) And yes that's spaghetti all over his face lol

Blowing kisses

Conner finally started blowing kisses. We have been trying for.ever to get him to do it. It's his own special way but it works. lol Don't mind the food in his mouth. ;)

Patty came to visit

Patty came down to visit us for two weeks. It was interesting.. I think it's hard on all of us because we view things differently then the people she lives with and how she was raised. But we are glad she came and we had a good time just hanging out and playing games together. Plus it was nice to have the company during the day! Conner loved having her here. The day she left he got up on the couch and yelled for her. It was so sad and so cute at the same time. Hopefully since we're back in the States there will be more time for her to visit us. :)


Here are a few pictures from her visit.

Night night!

For the first time, even without me saying it to him for Conner said "Night Night"! I was shocked! I got him to say it for this video but the video is only 2 seconds long because the rest of it was me trying to get him to say it again and he wans't having it. He was crabby because he was indeed ready for night nights! haha

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. ;)
