Well That Was Easy

    In my last post, I talked about how I started potty training Connor and it was going great. Now that it has been eight days since we started, I am happy to say that he is doing fantastic. It was way easier then I ever expected and he has caught on so fast. We have even left the house twice since my last post and Connor wore big boy undies both times.

While I got ready, Connor sat on his potty for a good 20 minutes using the restroom. Typical boy...

Two Milestones in Two Weeks

     And just like that, we go from having a baby to a "big boy." All in a matter of two weeks! I think I might go ahead and cry now...

    It all started a couple weeks ago when we decided to turn Connor's crib into a toddler bed. He was getting too heavy for me to pick up out of his crib, and seemed to be at a good age for the transition. We told him we were going to give him a big boy bed, but he had no idea what that meant. So Aaron started taking it apart, and Connor kept getting in his way had fun helping! 

 Learning from the best.

729 Days

My sweet Connor,

     I can't believe that 729 days ago I was 38 weeks and 5 days pregnant with you. I was working the night shift in the NICU when I started feeling like I needed to sit down and take a break. I had been having problems with my blood pressure, so one of the nurses checked it.  It was really high, so we took it a few more times. It kept getting higher, so I called the hospital and they told me to come in. Your daddy met me there and my blood pressure eventually stabilized. When they were about to let me go home, your heart rate dropped. They almost sent me in for a stat c-section, but you brought it back up. At that moment they decided that I wasn't going home and it was time to admit me. You decided  to make mommy wait and not come until the next afternoon. I will never, ever forget that day: when my life changed so drastically and became a million times better.

We've Got a Crawler

    For the past week, I have been saying that Connor is going to start crawling any day.... Well, today was the day! Actually, tonight was the night. Aaron and I were both in the kitchen when we looked into the living room and Connor was crawling to us. We were so excited, but we both just stood there. By the time I realized what was happening and grabbed my phone to take pictures, he stopped. Then once he did it again, my phone didn't have any storage space for pictures or video. After bribing Connor with a dog toy, I finally got both!

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.

Connor Sits Like A Big Boy

     Connor started sitting on his own today. He only sits for a few seconds without toppling over, but he's still sitting all by himself. Way to go C!

 First time sitting on his own without us holding him up!

Pajama Day and Rice Cereal

      Connor and I stayed in our pajamas ALL day long. In fact, he dirtied one set of pj's and I just put him in another set. I worked the last three nights, so I had a reason to be lazy! Here are some of the pictures Aaron sent me while I was at work over the weekend:
