Sydney Jade

1 year, 2 weeks & 4 days

Connor walked!! He was just standing there and took 3 steps just like that! Then a little bit later he took about 5 steps and it looked as if he was running...so cute! Me & Sid were so excited...and I even let him stay up a little bit past bedtime in hopes he would do it some more but he was done for the night. I'm afraid but really excited!

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

A good time was had by all…unfortunately I hardly got any pictures.

I have a year and half to recover before I have to plan another little one’s 1st birthday!   

Well baby

I have a well baby indeed!  Connor weighed in at 22lbs 11.5 oz…solids did his body good! His height was 30.5…maybe a tiny bit over but it was hard to be accurate.  He got a clean bill of health everywhere else with the ok to start milk (I didn't say we already did) and peanut butter.  We promptly came home and had peanut butter & homemade strawberry jam for lunch. He loved it! But lets be real here…Connor really loves everything.

He did get shots :( He cried but I think it more had to do with the lady holding down his legs…she did not seem very friendly! He loves his nurse and smiled for the other assistant…just not Franken lady. As soon as I picked him up all crying stopped then he got a sticker which he put in his mouth and by then I knew he was fine.

He’s been playing like normal since lunch using everything and anything as a walker.

  

On another note…I got laid off today. While we weren’t dependent on the money I was bringing in we were dependent on the full medical benefits I had. Which means it’s going to cost more money than we have in reserves to have this baby. Ugh! Well at least I don’t have to worry about working on the two projects I found out about last night over the weekend and can focus on getting ready for Connor’s party!! Yippee! Hopefully the rain stays away!
