Connor's First Halloween

     Today was Connor's first Halloween! He had a lot of fun, even though he seemed grumpy in his owl costume. I worked last night, so I slept most of the morning. In the afternoon, Connor and I went to one of my coworkers house and got some cute pictures of the kids. Their babies were Mickey and Minnie Mouse. They were an adorable pair!

Catching Up

     Saturday night after the pumpkin patch we went to a Halloween party at Aaron's work. We missed the trunk or treat, but made it for the costume contest. Connor won best costume in the 0-2 year category!

 Proud mommy and daddy.

Pumpkin Patch

    Today we went to the pumpkin patch and had so much fun! We have decided to make it a family tradition. Next year Connor will be able to do a lot more, and even pick out his own pumpkin!

Finding the Perfect Winter Suit

    Like I mentioned yesterday, I had to do a couple more errands today. Thankfully Connor was good, as usual :) We woke up at about 7:30 and had breakfast. Cereal for me, and a bottle for Connor. We played for a little while and then got ready. Connor loved looking at himself in the mirror. 

Lunch Date

    Since I was off today, I had to run a couple errands with my little man. I had to go downtown first and then met up with some friends for lunch at one of my favorite restaurants, Marquis Market. It was so nice to catch up with the girls and see their babies.

 I love their white chocolate mocha and chicken salad sandwich!

Garage Sale

     This weekend we had a garage sale at our friends house. It was the slooooowest garage sale I have ever been a part of. We were planning on setting up at 7:30/8 on Saturday morning. When we woke up, we saw that it was raining. I texted my friend (Blair), to see if we were still on, and she said yes. It was only sprinkling at their house, unlike at ours. Because of the rain we got a later start than planned, but it was okay. Aaron was a trooper and loaded up our cars in the rain.

Happy Day

Things that made me happy today:

Waking up and playing with Connor first thing in the morning.

Baby Food: Peas

    I can't wait to start feeding Connor fruit, but I think I want to try a few more veggies. Tonight we fed him peas, and boy did he like them!

Connor: Six Month Check-up

Yesterday Connor had his 6 month check-up. Thankfully Aaron was able to go with me to his appointment.

 Waiting for the nurse to come get us.

Connor: Six Months Old

Connor,

      It's so hard to believe that you are 6 months old today! In only 6 months you will turn 1. You have grown so fast and are such a precious baby boy. Definitely the cutest we have EVER seen... and mommy has seen a bunch of babies! You have the best smile and most adorable laugh. We are so in love with you and thank you for bringing so much happiness into our life. 

XOXO,

Mommy and Daddy

Aaron's Birthday

     Happy 27th Birthday to my hubster! Since Aaron is out in the field all week, he doesn't get to celebrate it until he comes home on Friday. I had an idea last night to take pictures of Connor holding a happy birthday sign for his daddy. I thought he would like seeing it while he's away from us.

On Call and After Dinner Walk

     Aaron left yesterday and is going to be gone for the entire week... again! This is the reason my mom came though. I am so happy she has been here to help me with Connor :)

    I got off work yesterday morning and took a nap until about 11:30. I stayed up with Connor and my mom for a little while before taking another nap at about 1. I knew there was a possibility I would have to go into work for mandatory overtime, so I needed to make sure I was well rested. I got a call at 5 from the charge nurse letting me know that I was on call for the rest of the night. I was so happy that I wasn't called into work right then. We picked up dinner at Sonic, played with Connor, and watched TV. It was very relaxing and just what I needed.
