Connor's Baptism

Today our family, friends and church committed to help grow Connor's faith and belief in Him. 

It was such an excited and proud moment. 

I can't wait to see what He has planned for this boy. 

Connor, you are a child of God and we love you. 

It's a SAHM's Life For Me

and I hate it.

I'm thanking my lucky stars every day that I'm going back to work in January.

I'm not in a good place right now. I hate being home all day. I'm bored......bored to the point of depression. Okay, not full on depression but I can see it lurking around the corner.

I keep telling myself that it could be better.....if my husband made it home before 7 PM.

12 hours a day it's just me and Connor. I love that baby but I love adults too....and conversation that doesn't mostly consist of "BOO" and "that's a nasty diaper."

Being at home all day has zapped my energy. You know how on a lazy day you just feel tired and yucky? That's how I'm feeling every day. ...... EVERY DAY.

Some days I don't shower until 4ish. Ewww, I know.

My house is a wreck.

I'm cranky.

All.The.Time

Who knew the job that drives me insane would actually be my key to sanity.

I will be sad in January when I go back to work but I'll still welcome the return with open arms.

4 months(ish)

Eat
You're eating hasn't changed much. You eat 6 ounces every 3-4 hours. You wake up once a night for a bottle and sometimes sleep through the night. I am pleased to say that you are spitting up much less now. Duh me...I forgot about different nipple sizes. As soon as we moved you to a size 2 nipple your feedings have been faster, less noisy and resulted in MUCH less spit up.

Play
You look at everything and smile at everything that moves. You mostly watch me, your dad and Ivy. I think it's so funny you smile at the dog.
You spend long stretches of time in your activity center. You keep teasing me with rolling over. You've done it a couple times and we haven't seen it since. You go to your side and we cheer you on only for you to flop back down on your back or front...wherever it was you started.

Growth
You are a horse....or one year old. Whatever. You weighed in at your four month check at 18lbs 7oz and measured 28 1/2 inches!!!!! Seriously kid, the size of a one year old. But, we love you anyway!

Bridal Showers, Sunday School and Nursery, OH MY!

We had a busy, busy weekend here. Saturday we celebrated with bff Michael in her first of two bridal showers. Happy Hour was the theme and we had a blast. We played a game where she had to match panties to the person who brought them, she opened presents and of course, we ate. The eating was definitely my favorite part. The food turned out just how I had envisioned it. I hope to get pictures from Nhia soon so I can upload them.

Sunday was the first day for Steven to teach Sunday School. Our class had stopped meeting for awhile because our church switched pastors and our old pastor taught the class. Everyone was kind of bummed and then Steven and Chris decided they would teach it. Last night was Chris's bachelor party so Steven went solo today. I was so proud of my husband.

Connor's Outfit for his first day of Sunday School.

 
During Sunday School, Connor attended the church nursery for the first time. The woman volunteering in the nursery today was excited about his cloth diapers. I was relieved that she was okay using them. She did however think that Connor was "very sick" when I picked him back up because he vomited the whole time.....yeah, he just has re flux.....and it's bad!

 The afternoon was spent setting up, throwing and tearing down Michael's second shower. This one was at church and the food was awesome. I have pictures of this one!!!
