Planning Connor's First Birthday

      I am very much a planner. I loved planning our wedding, and now I am excited to plan C's first birthday. He's 3/4 of the way there, so it's not too soon...right? 

      The first thing I had to figure out was where we are going to have it. Our house is tiny, so having it here was out of the question. We went to the neighborhood center and were able to rent some of their rooms. We could choose as many rooms as we wanted and have them for 5 hours. I thought that was pretty awesome. We got the kitchen, meeting room, game room (which includes a pool table, 2 foosball tables, an air hockey table, and a life size chess game), the gym, and Wii room. We probably won't use the gym or Wii room, but we booked them just in case! 

Teething

My poor teething baby. It looks so painful :( Luckily he hasn't been acting too fussy. 

Sniffles

     The last week has not been very fun at our house. We have all been sick :( Connor and I have stayed home in our pajamas almost the entire week. We both have the sniffles and scratchy throats. I feel so bad for my poor baby. Thankfully Aaron has started feeling better since he has to work.

Connor fell asleep while Aaron was watching a movie on his computer.

Connor: Nine Months Old

Dear Connor,

      You are our little roly poly. You are nonstop and always rolling around. We think you are going to just skip crawling, and continue to roll to wherever you want to go. It made taking your 9 month pictures very difficult! You are continuously learning new things. Just the other day you learned how to sit yourself up from a laying position. Now you want to sit All-The-Time... even when you're sleeping (we will talk about that later). You have been extra clingy lately, but that's okay. We are enjoying it because before we know it, you will be Mr. Independent and not want to be held anymore. We hope these next few months slow down because we aren't ready for you to turn one!

Love  you forever,

Mommy and Daddy
