Errands With A Toddler

    Every week Connor and I go to post to do my weekly errands. Our usual day usually consists of stopping at the PX {where they sell stuff for your house, clothes, electronics, makeup, etc.}, checking our mail at the post office, eating lunch at the food court, paying bills, and grocery shopping at the Commissary {the grocery store}. As you can imagine, it's a long day for a 1 1/2 year old who just wants to run around and play. I usually go on Wednesdays, but went today instead. Although I didn't have to pay any bills today, I had to talk to someone about our soggiorno {what allows us to live in Italy after our Visa runs out}, and pick up snow chains for my car. Even though it was a long day, Connor was a really good boy! By really good, I mean he only threw a couple tantrums ;)

 Drinking water out of my cup like a big boy. He loved his lunch today: chicken strips, fries, and my leftover salad.

What A Day

    My day started at 3:15 am {15 minutes before my alarm clock was supposed to go off}. I can't think of the last time I had to set my alarm clock that early! I didn't want to get out of bed, but there was no point trying to go back to sleep for 15 minutes. I had to pickup my friend at 4:30 and take her to the airport. It was my first time driving on the Autostrada {a major highway where cars drive really fast and you have to pay tolls}, but it went really smooth. There weren't many cars on the road since it was so early, so I think that helped. Connor slept most of the 1.5 hour drive there and woke up right before we got to the passenger terminal. We had donuts and pigs-in-a-blanket in the car while we waited with my friend to make sure she got on the flight.

 Sugary lips.

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!

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!

Last Day of Maternity Leave

       Today was my last day of maternity leave :( I know that I say it all the time, but I can't believe how fast these past 12 weeks have gone by. Here's how I spent my last day...

       Connor woke up at about 2:30am, so I woke up and fed him. He went back to sleep as soon as he finished his bottle. He woke up again at around 6, so Aaron gave him a bottle and put him back to sleep. All 3 of us woke up around 9:30 and boy was it nice to sleep in. Connor was in such a good mood, so I played with him on his blanket. I think he lasted a good 30 minutes before he started to get fussy.
