Spring Break

It's Spring Break 09 and Connor and I are ready to party. We started off the day with some Honey Nut Cheerios and milk. Then we watched Little Einsteins while getting ready to go to the library. Oh yes- it is story time at the library. The last time we went there was during the summer. Connor throughly enjoyed his time at the library. He played, sang, danced, and listened to the books. We got home and had a few pieces of cheese while I ate my lunch. (We're not eating a lot these days) Then we went upstairs for some more story time and had a nice 3 hour nap. Then we went outside after our nap and played with some balls. We also got invited to our back door neighbor's house. (I can't remember her name and I feel bad asking- I think she knows all of our names- along with Duncan) Then we came back inside for some yogurt and berries.

All in all, it was a great day. I can't wait for tomorrow. I'll try to put some pictures up. It's been awhile.

20 months...

Connor turned 20 months on March 11. I still can't believe how big of a boy he is and how big he is going to get. It amazes me every time I look at him. He's saying so many words and understands what we say which is so cool. This past weekend, we went on a walk that lasted an hour and a half. We ended up at the park that's in our development and Connor loved every minute of it. He enjoyed going up and down the slide, climbing the stairs and the rock wall. He also enjoyed going over to Duncan who was tied up on a park bench to say "Hi Duncan". Quite cute. He didn't want to go on swings yet.
The last two days have been really nice and Connor has spent the majority of his time outside playing with all types of balls. We went on a short walk which consisted of Duncan wanting to go faster and Connor trying to keep up. He also found some sticks that he enjoyed banging on the ground. I can definitely flash forward a few years to where Connor comes home with skinned knees, dirt all over and different animals in his pockets. I feel I have a Dennis the Menace on my hands.

Our Little One is Growing Up

We went to one of our friend's daughter's 1st birthday party yesterday. Out of all our friends, Connor is 6 months older than most of the kids. The only kid that is older than him is 4 years old. Steve and I realized how big Connor is. He looks like a little boy compared to the two girls and one boy. This made us sad because it means he's growing up and he will no longer be a baby. I guess that's why people have more kids. They remember what it was like having a little one in the house and miss it so much.

Cloth Diapers 1st round

We started cloth diapers on Saturday and I think it's going to take some time to get used to. We realized that he is a pretty heavy wetter so we have to put two liners in each diaper. Three for the night time. A poopy diaper is not fun to clean. Thank god we ordered the diaper sprayer. Some of Connor's pants are a little tight on him with the cloth diaper. Poor guy. I tried to take a picture of him in them and he wasn't too excited. Hopefully he's not already shy about being somewhat naked. His bumps and rashes are going away which is so great and I'm so thankful that we realized that it was the diapers that were causing him so much havoc.
