Oh Him?

That would be my baby. You know, they guy who woke up a different kid this morning.  The one who decided today was the day to take life by the horns. 

This kid....has been holding back. BIG TIME.


Today he decided he was going to be interested in toys and actively play with them. 


and roll over.....
and why not do some army crawling while we're counting. 
Ummmm what happened today?!?!

Boot Scootin Boogie

Or just scootin'

Connor has scooted a bald spot on the back of his head. He moves all around the place.....on his back.

This child is content to wait for the world to come to him.

Happy, Sad, Mad

I distinctly remember a home video of me when I was about 5 years old. I was at my grandma's farm about 6 inches from the camera making faces and repeating over and over "happy,sad, mad, happy, sad, mad." My mom (not on camera) says "Elizabeth" in a way that lets me know I'm supposed to stop. And in my super annoying, push my mom to the edge kinda way, I reply "What? Happy, sad, mad." The camera cut off.......

Slight flashback there.....my point being, that's how I felt last night.

Michael is getting married in less than a month and last night began the wedding festivities. We went out for her bachlorette party. (I hope to dedicate a whole post to this soon. I'm waiting for the pictures because in true Elizabeth style, I pulled out my camera to snap the first picture of the night and the battery was dead.....)

....anyone else feel like this post isn't going anywhere?? I swear it's getting there.

Happy, Sad, Mad.....The emotional roller coaster of last night.

Happy

  • Michael is getting married.
  • We had blast at her bachlorette party
  • I slept in a hotel room without worry that my baby was waking up. 
  • I didn't know how much I missed going out!
Sad
  • OH MY it was hard to be away from my baby for the night. I had no idea how tough it would be!
  • I can't drink like I used to!
  • I feel sooooooo old in clubs!
  • Did I mention I spent the night away from my baby?!? (But oh did I make up for it this morning when I saw him!)
  • After a night away from Connor, I'm seriously rethinking the going back to work in January thing. 
Mad
  • Drunk people are rude and obnoxious.
