Merry Christmas!

Today we spent the day getting the few last minute things we needed for tomorrow...Pie, cheesecake and pecans for brittle.  Does everything in this family have to do with food?  Yes! I don't know what I'm looking forward to more...my presents or Connor's.  I'm more excited for him even though I know he doesn't get it yet but I still see us having so much fun watching him "open" his presents.  We will teach him about Jesus some other day!  Sid and I decided we are going to start a new Christmas Eve tradition...Pizza!  Actually we love our homemade pizza's so much we'd use anything as an excuse to have them.

2 years ago today...

We got engaged....WHAAT?! It's only been two freaking years! Wow I can't believe how fast it all happened. We of course wouldn't change it for anything. Not when the end result is a little boy that is so sweet and so cute that you can't help but want 10 more of them.

Don't ask me WHAT he was doing here...lol

It's that time of year again!

Today we had a VERY exciting day. We went to the Children's Museums Gingerbread Jamboree @ Grandpa's work...The Hotel Murano. We had SO much fun!!! We hope we get to do this with cousin Ashley for many more years. Connor loved showing off his Santa hat and having some graham crackers.

Who has the cutest kid?! We do we do!!

I just couldn't resist snapping a few pics of Connor in his long johns. He had just woke up from a nap and was starving so our little photo session didn't last long. But he's finally getting better about having the camera in his face! haha

Look who turned 6 months!

16lbs 12.5 oz, 28in long, 17in head circumference.

I can hardly believe it...it seems just like yesterday I was coming home from the hospital. I know I probably say that every month but it is still hard to wrap my head around the fact that I have a 6 month old. Bring on baby #2!! haha Connor really is becoming a little person. He loves to talk and squeal with delight. He's sitting up so well and even sits in up in the grocery cart at the store now. He's rolling more and more although he still has days were he wants us to do the work for him. Connor also loves to spit and stick out his tongue...it's really cute for now!! He has figured out his jumperoo is for JUMPING and not just playing w/the toys and listening to music! I think that b'cuz of his friend Brody who came over and wore the jumperoo out! :) He loves to grab at things and often tries to eat and drink whatever I have in front of me. We got him a sippy cup and are going to try our luck with that...finger's crossed!

Oh where oh where has November gone?

I haven't posted in a month...ACK! We've had a busy fun filed November!! Here's just a few random pics!!


We had a great Thanksgiving and we were so thankful for our loving family and friends that were able to come over and spend the day with us. I was busy cooking so I didn't get any pics...hopefully Grandma Hayward got some!


Connor had his 1st bites of table food...sweet potatoes and mashed potatoes. I think he was a little confused about what exactly I was giving him. Somehow I managed to get zero pictures of this. :( He's also had pizza crust! lol


I realize it's not the best idea to be giving him these things so we picked him up some banana puffs. He can't yet get them in his mouth on his own but he does great with them once I put them in his mouth.

We also are sleeping a whole lot better these days. We started some sleep training...it takes about 30min of him fussing and crying to fall asleep on his own. He actually prefers to roll over and sleep on his tummy...FREAKS ME OUT! But he does pretty much sleep through the night after that. Yay!!
