Connor is 11 Months Old!


Connor is 11 Months!

Lately, Connor is cruising all over the place. It should be anytime now
 before he starts to walk.
He is cutting 3 top teeth right now...all at the same time, so he's been a little grumpy.
The last few weeks, Connor hasn't been into formula at all. So, I started giving him some whole milk...loves it!
He is down to 3 bottles a day. I can't wait to not have to wash bottles out any more!!
He has lots of new favorite foods...pasta, bread, broccoli, goldfish and yogurt to name a few.
Connor is babbling so much more. Currently it's...DA-DA, BA-BA AND GA-GA.

He goes to the Doctor a few days after his birthday, so I will update then...
I can't believe that he's going to be 1!

Talk About Getting Old...


It is so hard for me to believe that on Saturday Evan will be 3 years old!
It seems like it was just yesterday that this little baby was just laying in his crib staring back at me...
now I can't get him to sit still :)

Pushing 30

As some of you may know....yesterday was my 29th birthday. YUCK.....29! Where did the last 12 years of my life go? I feel like I was 17 yesterday.
I can remember when I turned 18, I said to myself, "Only 22 more years until I am 40". At the time, it seemed like it would take forever. Now what seemed to be the blink of an eye...I'm married, have a house, 2 kids and mini van...HOLY COW!.... "Only 11 more years until I am 40" 

I started my day yesterday being able to sleep until 8am.....yes both kiddos slept until then!
Then I headed to a local salon to get a haircut, manicure and massage pedicure. 
After spending 2 of my last 3 birthdays in the hospital, this was all much deserved!
Then I came back home, changed and went to dinner.

Below are a few pictures of Dave and I with the boys before we headed out to dinner.

Stay tuned for my "30 things before I'm 30 list" too!

Evan's Quote of the Day


"I'm not a Rock Star...I'm Evan" -Evan

Snow, Swans and Seagulls...OH MY!

 On a slightly warmer Rochester day last week, Daddy and Evan decided to stop and feed the local birdies. 
Connor and I watched from the nice toasty warm car.

Like Father, Like Son :)

The Return of the Duck Bath...

If you remember back when Evan was an infant, we received a blow up duck bath as a gift.
Evan loved taking a bath in it! After one too many baths...the duck could take it anymore and became full of holes....it was a sad day.
So, a few weeks ago we decided to get a new duck bath for Connor, since he wasn't really enjoying the bath seat.
 Looks like...
 Connor...
 loves it...

TOO!

Connor's First Trip to Strong Museum

 On Saturday, we joined Aunt Denise, Uncle Dan and the girls at the Museum of Play.
Evan loved every minute of it...Connor will enjoy it more when he can walk....which will be very soon!

Daddy and Evan driving a car.

Connor had a turn too!

Evan learning to rock climb.

I tried to get a picture of all the kiddos together...
 and tried...
 and tired....no luck!
 Dave riding the train with all the kiddos.
 Connor taking a nap...too much excitement I guess.
 Cousins Abby and Angie with Evan.
 and a some-what decent picture of Dave and me.
 Farmer Evan...
 counting his cash...
 Evan and Mommy.
