>Happy Half Birthday

>Today Conner is 6 mos old. I don't know where the time has gone. He's such an overachiever and the complete light of our lives. He is constantly making Josh and I laugh. He has recently started crawling and pulling himself up. He has also figured out how to turn the knob on the stereo. That's always fun! He's such a happy little man.


Happy Half Birthday! We love you tons!

Happy Half Birthday

Today Conner is 6 mos old. I don't know where the time has gone. He's such an overachiever and the complete light of our lives. He is constantly making Josh and I laugh. He has recently started crawling and pulling himself up. He has also figured out how to turn the knob on the stereo. That's always fun! He's such a happy little man.

Happy Half Birthday! We love you tons!

>Big News!

>I have a lot of pictures to add to the blog. We had a great time in Louisiana with my family. Our visit was too short though. While we were there, Conner started crawling! I knew it was coming; he finally got it. Now he's trying to pull himself up. Will this kid ever take a break?

Here is a quick video. I will post some pics later.

Big News!

I have a lot of pictures to add to the blog. We had a great time in Louisiana with my family. Our visit was too short though. While we were there, Conner started crawling! I knew it was coming; he finally got it. Now he's trying to pull himself up. Will this kid ever take a break?

Here is a quick video. I will post some pics later.

>Gotta Love Kids

>Today I turn 29 years old. It sounds old and depressing. 29. The one before 30. How is that possible? Anyway, One of Josh's cousins were in town for Easter and of course she brought along her 4 girls. They are 13, 11, 10 and 9 (I think.). My brother in law is 9 (that I'm certain of). They spent all morning making me a birthday banner. I just had to hang it up. It has tons of flowers, hearts, dog prints (?), bunnies and colors on it. You can't really see the details. I just wanted everyone to see how HUGE this banner is. It definitely says "Happy Birthday Julie" Makes me miss my teaching days...gotta love kids.

>Look at our guy! Featured baby!

>He has figured out how to sit!

>Last night, we were forced into the basement due to tornado warnings. Thankfully we didn't see any twisters. While we were down there, Conner decided to go from all fours to sitting! I had to wipe my eyes to be sure I was seeing things clearly. He has done it again and again.

Here's how I found him at nap time (clearly not sleeping!)

>He's getting into everything...

>Even sick, this child is unstoppable. He's extremely busy (for a few minutes, then he cries) and has mastered the "scoot". He wants to crawl. He wants it bad, but he settles for scooting. I think it's time for me to just put everything away!

He's getting into everything...

Even sick, this child is unstoppable. He's extremely busy (for a few minutes, then he cries) and has mastered the "scoot". He wants to crawl. He wants it bad, but he settles for scooting. I think it's time for me to just put everything away!

>before and after

>We all know that Conner is such a busy little baby. He's always moving, except when he sleeps. He just doesn't know how to sit still. Here are a few pics of him before the fever.

Now, this is him after he started with the coughing and fever. He just loves to play.






and in the jumperoo. Does he LOOK sick or even act it?

He will be happy for a little while and then he fusses. He repeats that cycle over and over. He sleeps less when he doesn't feel good. I don't understand that, but he does.

>Kroger is having a contest. Of course, I'd love some Kroger money and they have $1000 up for grabs (only if it's the grand prize winner though). I logged in and created my own design for a reuseable bag. The best part is that because I did this, I get a bag for free; I love free stuff. If you have some time, vote for my bag. Vote daily..until June!
