Baby Food: Avocados and Butternut Squash

     On Sunday, Connor had his first taste of baby food. We have given him cereal and oatmeal in the past, but that doesn't really count ;) After talking to his pediatrician and doing research, we decided to give him avocados first. Plus, who doesn't love avocados?

Mom's Birthday and Connor's First Trim

Connor Has A Girlfriend

    We had a busy day today and I am exhausted. My mom, Connor, my friend Blair, her little girl Ellie, and I went to Raleigh this morning and stayed until about 4:30. We barely fit into my little Mazda CX-5! We were all so tired by the time we got home. I managed to snap a few pictures of Connor and Ellie. They are just adorable and I have to share!

 

Daddy's Home and Family Time

      I had a long 3 days at work this week, but I knew Connor was in great hands with my mom. He was a very good boy for her, so that made this momma proud!

Daddy's Gone, But Grandma's Here!

      Yesterday morning Aaron left to Kentucky for the entire week :( I hate when he has to leave, but what made it better was that my mom was coming into town to stay with us for a few weeks. She came to help me with Connor while Aaron is away. We had not seen her since we went to Texas about 3 1/2 months ago.

    Connor woke up at 6:30 and was in a very playful mood. Thank goodness he went back to sleep at about 7:30 and slept for a couple hours. 

Three Days With My Boy

     I have been off for the last 3 days, but have been too tired and busy with Connor to catch up. Now that I have a little bit of time, I'll get you caught up on what we have been doing.

   On Tuesday, Connor and I stayed home. I was tired from getting off work that morning and wanted to stay home with my baby. We relaxed and played at home. It was perfect!

Connor: Five Months Old

Dear Connor,

    You are 5 months today, Wow! You have grown right before our eyes. I wish you would just slow down a little ;) You are so easygoing and happy almost all the time. I love when you talk to us and get excited when we walk into the room. You have accomplished many milestones this past month, and we are so proud of you. Keep it up baby boy! 

Love always,

Mommy and Daddy

Made In The USA

I gave Connor a bath before work today and put him in these cute pj's my sister bought him. I managed to snap a few pictures of him.

Just My Boy and Me

      Aaron has to spend the night out in the field tonight (boo!), so Connor and I are on our own. We had some good mommy/son time. It was very much needed after I worked all weekend. We spent most of the day running errands and didn't get home until around 3:30. I fed him almost as soon as we got home and thought he was going to take a nap, but he wouldn't fall asleep. That seems to be a trend these days. So instead of napping, we played and practiced sitting. After that we watched cartoons.

 He likes his bumbo.

Guess Who Rolled Over

      Today was an exciting day because Connor rolled over for the first time! We have been working on it for so long and he finally did it. I am so happy that Aaron and I were both there when it happened. We were playing with him while he was doing tummy time and I put one of his toys high up in the air so he would have to turn his head and look up at it from the side. Well... while he was doing that, he rolled over just like I hoped he would. It happened so fast and it looked so easy for him that I asked Aaron if he helped him do it. Haha!

 We didn't get an action shot, but this was immediately after he rolled onto his back.
