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!!



Keep in mind this is from my cell phone so it's not the best quality!

March 24 - 10 months old!

My baby is 10 months old today! That means.. in two months my baby will be one! It's so amazing! I have loved every second of being his Mommy. Conner is finally, almost sleeping through the night! It's weird waking up and knowing that we just had 8 1/2 hours of straight, uninterrupted sleep! Sometimes more! :) He is eating so many different things, and loves everything he eats! Even if he doesn't like it, he'll eat it. He's a goat! He's hilarous and I think he's going to be quite the jokster when he grows up! He loves playing on the floor with us and climbing all over. He hates being alone. All in all he's perfect and we couldn't ask for a better baby!

Taking steps

Conner is taking steps now! It's amazing! He's getting good at standing on his own for a few seconds at a time. We practice all day. haha. He amazes me everyday with the things he does. I love watching him grow and learn. I am excited to see him walking on his own, more than a few steps. Here's the few steps we caught on tape this morning! Once he is full blown walking we'll get a video of that up here! Oh and not to mention he turns 10 months old on the 24th! Wow how time flies! Two more months and my baby will be one years old! It's amazing.

Walking Toy

This is a video of Conner with his new walking toy that Steve and Bree brought over for him. He loves it and it didn't take him long to get the hang of it! It won't be long before my little guy is walking around the house!! Isn't it cute!

Our Family 3.12.09

We are all doing great! Conner is growing like a weed. I swear he looks more like a one year old than a 9 1/2 month old. He's got an amazing personality and always has us laughing. He's got his Mama's temper and I believe he is a lot more stubborn! Definitely has a little attitude of his own! He's has had milk for the first time today actually and loved it. He's still having some trouble with his sippy cups, we just have to find the perfect one for him. But all in all we are all doing great and settling in Mississippi. I miss Spain at times...shhh, but it's great down here and we have so many friends around us! That's all for now! :)

Conner at nine months!

Conner turned 9 months old on February 24th. He is 21.8 lbs and 30 in long. He eats any chance he gets. He loves eating when we are eating, and whatever we are eating. It's fun watching him explore new tastes. He also is in his big boy car seat!

He now crawls like crazy. He pulls up on anything he can reach and walks along furniture. He's getting a couple more teeth on top. Unfortunately he doesn't sleep through the night yet. We're working on that! He's great with finger foods, and likes his sippy cup. He's definitely a Daddy's boy! He lights up whenever he sees him.

He amazes us everyday and he is such a happy baby!

The day Conner was born

Conner was born in Rota, Spain on May 24, 2o08. He was 5 lbs 15 oz and 18 1/2 in long of pure perfectness. Conner spent the first 4 days of his life in the Spanish NICU. It was hard to be away from him and my heart still aches when I think about it. Nothing can ever explain the feeling you have to go home with an empty stomach, and empty arms.

The first time I seen Conner in the NICU was the Monday after he was born. My heart sank as I waited to see him for the first time since Saturday. I stood there in a hot hospital full of people waiting to see their babies as well. I was in so much pain from just giving birth but I knew I had to set my feeling aside because I knew it would be worth it to see my precious baby boy. We'll never get those 4 days back, and we'll never forget them.

We had a rough start but we started our days together on May 28th. Nothing has been the same, yet we wouldn't change a thing.
