Feet?

I think Connor has discovered his feet! I noticed him playing with them several times tonight! (Yes, Grandmas, I will try to get a video for you soon...)

We are adjusting to life with me working again. The first week hasn't been so bad, but I don't have as much down time as I did with him around. (Can we start nap time at work?!?!) Hooray for Friday tomorrow...!

I'll leave you with this picture I took recently. For some reason, I just love it! He loves his mobile these days, and I feel like this picture captures his awe of it. Enjoy!

Lubbock/La Mesa/Welch

I have a lot to re-cap from our recent trip to Texas, so I will do so in chronological order. I hope to capture everything, but I apologize if I miss something!

We started out on Friday morning, headed to Lubbock to see Clay's family. It was a long day of traveling, but Connor did GREAT!! Connor got to meet TONS of people, and I even got to meet a few family members I had not yet met. We enjoyed visiting with everyone and just hanging out with the little man. On Saturday, we spent the day hanging out in Lubbock with Bobby's side of the family before heading out to La Mesa to see Debbie's side of the family. We had dinner to celebrate Papa's (Debbie's dad) 80th birthday! The food was delicious, and the company was great. After dinner, we went to Honey's (Debbie's sister) to have birthday cake and more visiting. Oh, and we even had blue bell with cake...YUM! By this time, the little man was tuckered out. He made it through a few more rounds of pictures, but was soon ready to eat and pass out. We had a late night followed by a very early morning. This is where Clay and I split ways, an I was on my own flying with the little man to Houston. Once again, he was awesome!! More about Houston later...for now, here are some pics from the first part of out trip!

Slacker!

Well, I know I am SLOW on updating this with our Texas trip, but to be honest, my priority this week has been enjoying my last week of maternity leave with the little guy. Plus, with Clay out of town for work, by the end of the night, I didn't want to do much of anything but relax! Oh, and the lazy rainy weather hasn't helped! But, enough excuses...I'll try my best to get it done this weekend. In the meantime, look what my sweet hubby put up for me tonight...





Oh, and please don't judge me because my son is already wearing his Christmas jammies. It was a one time thing (until after Thanksgiving) in honor of putting the tree up! (c:

Good morning, Sunshine!

I haven't gotten to my trip summary blogs yet, but I thought I'd share this recent video of my little sunshine waking up the morning after we got back. He slept 11 hours that night, which his Mama loved! Maybe he can keep up that trend? (c: I love it when he wakes up so happy...

We're back!

With a little help from my mom, Connor and I made it safely back to NC on Thursday. Connor was once again an amazing traveler! He fell asleep almost as soon as we got on the plane in Houston and slept most of the flight. Once he woke up, he ate until we landed! He made me so proud. I have lots of blogging to catch up on, so be prepared for some trip wrap ups in the near future. For now, though, I am going to enjoy a lazy Saturday morning with the family!

First flight!

Connor was a rock star on all three flights today! I could not have been happier. I am exhausted, though, so just gonna post a pic of us and the sleeping little man on one of the flights today!

Happy Halloween!!

Before I leave town without my computer (gasp!!), just a Happy Halloween to all...

Isn't he just a cutie?!?! (c: Ok - off to bed, even though I will be up every hour nervous that we will oversleep!
