Ain't no party like a 1st birthday party!

Happy New Year!! It was a big day for us because we were hosting the family over for some prime rib...Yum! But first we attended Brody's one year birthday party. Connor was his usual dapper self and enjoying the chance to show off his big boy eating skills. The balloons held most of his attention but he was defiantly checking out what was going on around him. Would you believe though that Connor actually went bananas...Yes I said BANANAS...for the cupcake. No he has never had one before but by the way he reacted you'd think he has been enjoying them his whole life.

What can you do in 7 months?!

I'll tell ya what I can do...Raise a pretty AWESOME kid! :)

I weighed Connor on the unofficial wii fit at 7 months but I think he was actually less than what he weighed in at the doctors at 6 months. ;( Why my baby don't gain weight? I weighed him tonight 1/9 after his bath (and a full day of food!) and he weighed in at a tad under 17 1/2 pounds. 2 thumbs up to that! Why can't I have his metabolism?

This is why I had a kid!

CHRISTMAS!!(and the carpool lane but I'll talk about that later) I am 30 years old and this has been the BEST Christmas EVER! Sure me and Sid scored some sweet stuff but just getting to see the look on Connor's face as he ripped open the paper and ate it was priceless. I know it will only get better as he get older and starts to understand what is going on. Plus I got to be a kid again after he went to bed and play with his toys! Man I hope this kid does not mind getting a barbie dream house and a remote control car (with OUT the cord attaching the remote and car). I missed out on getting those when I was kid and I have not forgotten...I will get Connor two just to make it all right in the world! :)

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.
