Connor is ONE!

    Oh ONE. Such a fun and wild age. But I hate that I will feel weird saying "He's ONE" instead of "11 months and such. We celebrated Connor's 1st Birthday this past weekend in Virginia with friends and family. It was such a success! Connor had a blast, and we are so blessed to have so many people who care about us. But, it's a good thing we celebrated this past weekend because my poor baby is sick. Yeahh, we flew to VA, so I'm not surprised but it is still a bummer. I hope he improves because I reallly don't want to have to drag him to the doctor on his first birthday! Poor kid.

    When I look back at his newborn pictures, I really cannot believe that a year has already flown by. Watching my toddler run around and talk is surreal. He still needs me, but he doesn't NEED me like he did when he was a little immobile baby. It breaks my heart, but at the same time I am loving this age! He is walking, and he says "mama," "dada," "hello (like a british man, so it sounds like "elllo govna'" lol), "byebye," "cake (and he says it several times like "cakecakecakecake"), "Lilly," "up," "down," "NO (i reallly hate that one), "good," "yum," "yucky," "thank you," "you're welcome (or just welcome)," and basically repeats anything we say. He still loves his bath time, but I've learned to give him baths early (around 5), so he isn't hyped up before bed. He goes to bed around 7 most nights (since he's sick, he's been going to bed around 6 this week), and he wakes up between 6:30 and 7:00 a.m. without fail. I haven't started him on whole milk at all. I am going to wait until his appointment on April 30, and I get the ok from his pediatrician. I'm not in a huge rush because he's really cut back on his formula. He maybe drinks 16 oz a day. He isn't a picky eater. He loves mac and cheese, but he will eat his vegetables and fruits and good proteins too! Last night we had quiona and kale, and Connor loved it. I love buying the organic pouches that he can just squeeze into his mouth. It's a great way to get him spinach and good greens! He is really turning into a little person. I love his hilarious personality and every little thing about him! Love you baby boy. You are such a blessing, and HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY little love!!

We had Connor's pictures taken for his 1st Birthday.. enjoy!
