(singing) We are a family....
Here is a picture of Connor Strumming the guitar...

Last night it seemed as though Connor would never go to bed, all he wanted to do is play the guitar with his dad!
Today we went to Guadalupe River State park and hung out as a family! We had a blast just hanging out, we went for a hike and then spent some time in the water! The weather was amazing and the water was the perfect temperature, Connor really had a great time!
Here is a video of Connor playing in the water and "sharing" rocks with his dad! -Sorry that it is sideways....I don't know how to turn it!
Here is another short video of Connor at the park. In this one he finds it very funny that he and his dad are throwing rocks!

the big 2-5

Lets start with Happy Birthday to ME!!!!
I am now twenty-five!! It's so strange I feel for the first time that I look my age! I have had a great day so far and I'm sure that it will only get better- Jared just got home with a beautiful pink rose, dinner, and my birthday gift - that I can't open until after dinner!:(
Connor had another day in the "big boy" room....
I took some pictures today of Connor in his new classroom, if you will notice he is sitting at a table in a chair, not in a highchair! Also we had another biting incident, this one however was a bit worse than yesterday...this one drew blood! Ahhhh, hopefully this won't continue.

Growing up hurts :(
Well Connor is now in the “big boy” classroom at daycare!
Yesterday, when I picked our little “monkey” up from school the teacher informed me that our little guy had discovered how to crawl out of his crib!
-No kidding climbing out of his crib!
I wouldn’t have believed it if I had not seen it with my own eyes, our Connor, our not even 11 month old son climbing out of his crib! So what do you do when your almost 11 month old is climbing out of his crib? That is a great question…I called his pediatrician and asked her just that:
Dr. - “It’s time for a toddler bed”
Me - “But he isn’t even a year, won’t he just roll or crawl out of that?”
Dr.- “It’s really a safety issue at this point- he will crawl out but you just have to discipline him to stay in and you have to make sure to baby proof. You can put him in a play – pin as a temporary solution but I promise he will figure how to crawl out of that pretty soon as well”
So my dear friends my son will be getting a “big boy” bed here soon – too soon!
Because of his new trick he is no longer allowed to sleep in the crib at school, so they moved him into the next class up.
This brings us to our other story…
I got a call from daycare today –on his first day in his new class- they were calling me to inform me that Connor got bitten by another kid in his class! I know that this is common with all kids therefore I didn’t freak out or worry, but check out his “big boy” battle wound…


Apparently the little kid that bit him was being very territorial … the teacher said that Connor cried for a few seconds and was fine…what a “big boy” !

insult to injury!
So Connor seemed to be getting some what better but the lingering cough, congestion, and ear pulling was too much for me. So, back to the doctor we went! As it turns out it is a good thing that I trusted that motherly instinct because my little guy has viral bronchitis and a full blown ear infection! The doctor sent us to the hospital to get chest x-rays to make sure that it wasn't pneumonia! As part of the process he has to do breathing treatments every four hours for the next three days!
So to add insult to injury....
I am sick! I'm not sure what is wrong with me but I am running a 101.4 fever, headache, sore throat, achy body, and throwing up! I have been taking naps and trying to avoid Connor ..... which is hard to do considering that he has to eat and be changed!
Just pray that we get better soon!
-much love
